In July we visited Durmitor and did two nice hikes.
Bobotov kuk from saddle (2523m), path nice easy, just below summit could install some cable for better feel. At top views magnificent, luckily found Bosnian mountaineer who kindly explained whole panorama. On descent we split: some back to saddle, we to Bezimeni peak (2487m). Junction poorly marked, have to search a bit. Descent quite demanding, no protection, over scree of big rocks path barely visible but you see where to go. Ascent to peak well marked and easy. Followed descent to Valoviti dol, no trodden path, follow marks, direction Obla glava and Ledena pecina. To see it had to climb some 200m but worth it. Cave full of ice stalactites, to reach them properly need crampons. Recommend visit. Past Stari katun down to Crno jezero where rest of team waited with water and swimsuits so we bathed in lake (22 degrees).
Next day to Savin kuk (2319m) and found that chairlift goes up
. Path lower part along ski slope, upper on meadow, easy undemanding. Summit rounded with nice view. Below see Velika kalica valley and snowfield size of our Triglav glacier, above bivouac. Found path down but disappointed. It's steep gully with spiral drop to bottom (250m
) full of gravel everything rolls.
Wife and kids returned via chairlift, my curiosity wouldn't let go. Descended gully (hands brown for two more days) reached wonderful valley, walked on snow, saw chamois, visited bivouac (for 10 people)
and ran to Crno jezero.
In short two wonderful days, more to find, Medjed ridge for sure
.
