Today several skiers (including our AS Peter Prevc) enjoyed winter idyll of Krnica. Skiing conditions top (dry powder, only topmost mixed - wind-packed snow, a bit crust,..), repeated middle section three times.

Advise against visit for walkers without snowshoes, simply too much snow. At hut on return lots of people - all tables taken.

On Sunday after snowfall, like many others, we enjoyed snowy idyll under Kriška Wall. Morning ski descent excellent, afternoon on Planina V Klinu sun melted snow like mad. More at:

Checked map too, don't see Šplevta and Vrh Mlinarice above Krnica - attaching map, think probably other peaks. Photo 33 part of 29, while 79 taken in Krnica area before ascent right gully.

Šplevta is that mark for 2382 right of Razor.

OpenTopoMap not most accurate map, but marks both peaks.

Šplevta, also Indian-named mountain, easy access peak rounding Kriška Wall, nearest east neighbor of Razor. True, on most maps marked only height not name, like Šplevta at Pihavec or under Dovški križ.
This is how it looks from Kriška stena.1
The shape of the 'head' tells everything.2
That's how it looks from the northern forepeak (2598) of Razor. (front left)3

Interesting name and really looks like Indian head!

What does that jagged line in the right part of the map mean?? Best regards!!

Wall. Probably drawn separately so it can be named Kriška Wall.

cico, on OpenTopoMap this marks embankments, but in this case it's most likely a sheer cliff marked by that jagged line.

Interesting discussion but hasn't convinced me yet. Next time I'll ask in the hut - which peak is exactly above the hut (where the landslide is) and which ones are left and right of the landslide and visible from V klin meadow.

Legend of symbols on OpenTopo.
Principally that jagged line is used for embankment. I know it's also used for shooting trenches and military infrastructure remains (e.g. on the former Soča front area and towards Dolomites there's plenty). Sometimes, from my experience with these maps, it's simply used for a sheer wall, nothing anthropogenic. Maybe slight inconsistency by authors.

After almost a year my friend and I visited Krnica again. Sadly didn't ask in the hut about the peak name above the hut, question remains unanswered. Ascent among many ski tourers on snow hard as concrete. Most used srenače, some crampons, those without had big trouble and slips. Skiing snow-appropriate.

Then came the idea of ascent to Krnica head or to Kriška Wall in dry, without going over it. Goal was access to upper larch meadows and close view of the wall. Also important views to all rocky faces surrounding Krnica on both sides. Didn't imagine the whole path so interesting.

Marked forest path to hut closed now due to logging, road walking bit hindered by resurfacing or gravel strengthening for storm resistance.

Really nice trip, worth repeating, but next time definitely over Kriška Wall to the other side!
