Vratca above the Czech Hut

Print
Tadej6. 08. 2007 17:13:42
Today I set off from Jezersko via Štularjeva planina to the Czech Hut. I continued the ascent towards Vratca. 15 minutes below the summit the path led me into a steep but well secured gully. The path through the gully is exposed to falling rocks so helmet is mandatory. At the top of the gully the path turns right and via a slightly exposed traverse leads to the summit slope of the mountain. The last meters are quite steep but increasingly scenic. At the top a Slovenian flag is hung, under it two logbooks, one is empty. Best, Tadej.

And this snowfall has dumped some snow, could one still go higher this weekend (which is supposed to be nice)?
Of course without any special winter gear.
Nice greetings

Still take winter gear with you, better safe than sorry! Otherwise shouldn't be too big a problem, given the amount of precipitation! Safe stepsnasmeh
Nice greetings

To the Czech hut it's nicely passable, further up you'll need to wade a bit. Vratca are right on the edge of the last snowfall, so snow today was soft as it was 4 degrees in the hut. Tomorrow snow will be harder and better for walking, caution needed in the gully. Good luck

What are the current conditions at the Czech Hut. Is there any ice or are good boots enough.

tonek76. 11. 2007 16:02:05
Today towards the summit or hut there's some ice but you can avoid it as the trail is wide enough. Good especially warm boots will be sufficient. But since temps are around zero (minus today plus tomorrow) there are quite some mixed (snow, rocks) avalanches. So gullies like Žrelo and similar are quite dangerous.zavijanje z očmi

Yesterday 31.10.2009 after a long time back in the mountains. From the cargo cable car we headed towards the Czech Hut. Although it was dry, caution is needed on the forest path as leaves cover frozen roots. Also the steps that are a great help in summer were frozen and very slippery. From the Czech Hut we headed towards Vratca. Rocks on the scree were very slippery due to frost, and the fixed cables were very cold and slippery too. Although we were looking for sun all the time, we didn't catch it as it was only on the tops of surrounding mountains. Although we could only look at the sun and not feel it, it was very nicenasmeh Branči and Nives

At the start of the path to Vratca there was still some snow today. In the difficult section helmet is recommended because it's very crumbly. There were quite a few visitors, especially at the Czech Hut. Views were nice and despite cloudiness it was a nice day spent in the mountainsvelik nasmeh

On a sunny Saturday Vratca weren't very visited. At least according to the summit logbook it was recorded that way.
Okrešelj-Savinjsko sedlo-Ledine-Czech Hut-Vratca and nicely back to Okrešelj and to the valley.
Nice and a bit longer path.

We started in Ravenska Kočna, past the lower cable car station steeply into the forest and via "devil's steps" to the Czech Hut. Then continued over screes and steep gully to the top of Vratca. We descended back to the Czech Hut and continued on the path towards Žrelo. Since Žrelo is closed due to falling rocks we didn't go to Ledine. We shortened the path and descended to the valley via the marked path (Žrelo bypass).
Path to Czech Hut is quite damp and slippery, in forest very muddy, in places rerouted due to fallen trees, but where possible all praise to the maintainers for the nicely done path. Path to Vratca is well secured in the gully, but rocks are wet too and a bit more caution needed.

Today we started at the parking lot, continued past the cargo cableway to the Czech Hut. Short break at the hut, then to Zgornja Ravena. After a short rest to the path leading to Vratca. The last part of the path through the gully to Vratca is very crumbly (helmet) and extra caution needed. (but well secured). Nice greetings.

Today from Ravenska Kočna along the new (car) road to Štularjeva planina. From there to the Czech Hut and along the old path to the top of Vratc.
Descent on the new path and through Žrelo I climb also to Kranjska koča. At the exit from Žrelo I find a Salewa helmet, which I leave with the hut keeper at the hut.mežikanje
Down to the valley on Slovenska, on the road just before the car the predicted rain catches me.nasmeh
Nice, varied path and given the forecast the right choice.nasmeh

Where does the new path to Vratca run?

garmont20. 08. 2017 04:56:42
The new path from the Czech Hut direction is approx 100 meters higher than the junction of the old path and runs across the scree, joining the old steeper path just below Vratca.
But no significant difference in path length. mežikanje
