* By the TOMINŠEK ROUTE ( Tominškova pot )
This is one of the most interesting marked routes to Triglav,boldly
laid out and well secured.More exposed than the Prag route but wide
enough to walk along comfortably.A good head is needed to enjoy this
ascent.And be careful if there is snow ( may persist till end of July)
in any of the gully-heads, an ice-axe will come in very handy.Start =
behind Aljažev dom......(hut)
* By the PRAG ROUTE ( Čez Prag )
This path is easier than the Tominšek route and excellent for a quick
descent.But it is frequently used for the ascent too, especially in the
early summer when the gullies on the Tominšek route may still be full
of snow and hard to negotiate.In this case, an
ice-axe is advisable for the Prag route too.Start = follow the bad road
up the valley beyond Aljažev dom....
* By the PLEMENICE ROUTE ( Plemenice)
This is third path leading up to Triglav from the Vrata Valley.It
follows the west ridge of the North Face,starting on the saddle LUKNJA
and ultimately reaching the summit via its southwest flank.The most
rewarding, but also the most demanding of the three normal northeren
ascents.Marked and secured,rather long (Aljažev dom-Triglav 6-7 h,plus
at least one more hour for the descent to Kredarica)and in some places
really exposed.So be careful my advice is for experienced mountaineers
only or maybe with guides!Start = LUKNJA = from "Aljažev dom" ( hut)
just 2 and half hour hiking to reach this place,...
* By the KOT VALLEY (
Čez Kot)
The route via the Kot Valley and Stanieev dom(hut 2332
m above sea level)is the shortest,easiest and most direct northeren
approach to Triglav from Dovje-Mojstrana.We took it last July 30
th and reached the Mt Triglav with flag of VT - look my VT meeting
page at Dovje:-) Few people take it,though,as you can see Triglav
only after having reached Stanieev dom,that is after 6 hours' walk from
Mojstrana(or 4 from Kot valley).
View to Kot Valley
from the way to Stanič Hut
Especially those making their first ascent prefer maybe the magnificent
Vrata Valley ( not me hehe:-)) as their starting point.But the solitary
Kot has its charms;dominated by the north face
of Rjavina -2557 m and a few adjoining peaks and pinnacles it provides
perfect alpione scenery.
Start = from Mojstrana in direction to Zgornja Radovna.Then the Kot
road branches off right whereas the road ahead descends
to the village of Radovna.....
EASTERN APPROACH from Krma valley
* The access via the KrmaValley is
the easiest of all, but also the longest.Gentle slopes have made it
into excellent skiing grounds.No wonder hat on a fine day in late
winter or early spring there may be more people there than on a fine
day in summer,It was also -till 1995-the route taken by my friends
(look at Zgornja Radovna page-the Psnak farm and apartments) porters
whose
horses and mules carry up provisions to the huts.Via Krma Valley you
can
reach any of the following huts: Stanieev dom,Triglavski
dom=Kredarica,Planika and Vodnikov dom.
A path branches off left for Vodnikov dom, 1805 m-5 h from
Mojstrana,via Bohinjska vratca,1979 m,the notch at teh head of the
left-hand defile between Tosc and Vernar.
Bohinjska vratca 1979 m
Vodnikov dom stands some 150 m below this notch(Bohinjska vratca) on
the other side.
Vodnikov dom
The left branch takes you via Konjsko sedlo-2020 m-to
Konjsko sedlo 2020 m
to dom Planika-2408m=5h30 h from Kovinarska koča in Krma.
Dom Planika 2408 m
The right branch takes you to Stanieev dom-2332 m- 6 -
7 h from Mojstrana(by Krma Valley).The path to Staničev dom continues
uphill over the great barren upland called Pungrt,leaving Rjavina on
the right.It follows a little valley steering towards Dovška
vratca-2305 m-the lowest point in the ridge connecting Rž and Rjavina,
but passes
under the col left to gain and cross the ridge further west.It finally
drops a few metres to the hut.This route is marked with high red poles
for skiers - you can be sure to enjoy your skiing there:-)))
SOUTHERN APPROACH from Bohinj
The southern slopes of Triglav are in sheer contrast to his northern
precipices.The point of departure to Triglav is Bohinj.The name is
applied to the whole of the basin of Lake Bohinj and the surrounding
hill country.
* By the Voje Valley to Vodnikov dom and Planika dom
Most direct of the Bohinj Triglav routes.Recommended for a hurried
descent from Triglav to Sv.Janez(the old church of St.John's).A walk
throughout, but very steep in parts.
trail from Planika to Vodnik
The difference in height between Stara
Fužina and the top of Triglav is no less than 2300 m - manage it in one
day??:-)) hehe - probably not:-).You can stay the night at the mountain
hut Vodnikov dom-1805 m-4-5 h, or at the hut Planika-2408 m-6-7 h from
Stara Fužina.
down to Vodnikov dom from Planika
*By Uskovnica to Vodnikov dom
It is accessible also by way of Uskovnica=about 1100 m
to the north of Stara Fu�ina and Srednja vas.About 5 h to reach
Vodnikov dom-is a little longer but pleasanter.It offers plenty of
variety and many a delightful view.Uskovnica is also accessible by car
via Pokljuka,with the starting point Bled or Stara Fužina.
*By Pokljuka to Vodnikov dom
Bled is taken as the starting point,and this is the shortest way to
Triglav-you can reach Rudno Polje by car(Bled to Rudno Polje=18
km-1340m).From there you can reach the summit in six hours,but if you
walk fast even less.
*Via the Valley of the Triglav Lakes - Dolina
Triglavskih jezer
The most popular route of descent from Triglav and an attractive route
of ascent, especially if one breaks it at the Lakes Hut-Koča pri
triglavskih jezerih-1683 m(4-5h from Hotel Zlatorog).Starting
point=You can reach Koža pri Savici-660 m by car.There you turn north
to tackle the Komarča Crag.The Triglav Lakes Valley constitutes the
centre of the Triglav National Park.The Valley,furthermore,is noted
for its abundat flora.From Hribarice the path descends over large
screes
to the saddle Dolič-2164 m, and the hut Tržaška koča-2152 m,situated
just north of it=2.30h from Koča pri triglavskih jezerih.The saddle
Dolič is the junction for a number of paths and two of them lead to
Triglav
- via Dom Planika and other straight to the top.
WESTERN APPROACH from Trenta
Valley
The western approach to Triglav takes the Trenta Valley and its
settlement Na Logu as the point of departure.Less frequented and maybe
more romantic:-)
*From Na Logu via Zadnjica From the alpine hut Zlatorog,at Na Logu, you turn eastwards to
enter the short side valley Zadnjica whose head at the very west foot
of Triglav.5 h from Na Logu to Dolič, 8 h from Na Logu to Triglav.
*From Na Logu via Trebiščina
You follow the main road down the valley about 2 km, where a side
valley opens to the left.The route takes this valley and
sticks to its bottom all the way up to the pasture
Trebiščina-1401m-3h.Then you follow the saddle čez Dol-1632m and with
another hour's comfortable walk takes you to the hut Koča na
Prehodavcih-2071m-4.30-5h from Na Logu
