On Saturday 30.06.12 I fulfilled a big wish - to circle most known points around Krn, mainly related to the Soča front. A bit after 18h I started from planina Kuhinja, it was still quite hot till the junction with the path from Drežnica. Then it cooled due to altitude, after 2.5h I was at the shelter, quick change and caught the sunset from the top. Then I just sat, first on top, then before the hut enjoying the view (moon shining) to Batognica, Vrh nad Peski, Mrzli Vrh, valley ahead with lit hamlets (Drežnica church stood out). In short, my own world... In the morning a bit after 5 I caught the sunrise, then after breakfast via Škrbina to Batognica, where viewing craters I first really realized all I'd read about it. Then via Prag under Vrh nad Peski to Peski and pyramid, then I looked for direct way to the lake in Lužnica, didn't quite succeed, so in the end over scree to the foot of Škofič and lake. Then via gully between Studor and Maselnik down past planina Leskovca back to start. Probably nothing special for old hands, but for me a whole new view opened, finally got real idea of terrain and individual locations. And the whole time completely alone - priceless and so soothing in today's world.
