Larches below Vršič Pass were still green.

In the afternoon we drove to the Mangart Pass. On the way there is a beautiful beech forest.

Views from the Mangart pass road.

Views from the Mangart pass towards Italy.

Luka joined us for a few hours.

Mt. Triglav in all its glory.

Views from the top at 2014 meters above sea level towards the Julian Alps and Triglav that got shrouded in clouds fast.

Panoramic view of Mt. Triglav and its surroundings.

Just imagine there is Mt. Triglav in the clouds. :)

Mt. Triglav in the morning

Mt. Triglav - 47 kilometers away.

Me on top of Mt. Kriz pointing to Mt. Triglav with its famous north face.

From here, the views toward Mt. Triglav are spectacular.

Zajamniki and Mt. Triglav in the background.

Looking back we could see Mt. Triglav.

Last look of Mt. Triglav before descening to the other side.

Views from Kriška planina across to the Julian Alps and Triglav.

Looking towards the northwest: the church of St. Ana in Tunjice and the Julian Alps with Mt. Triglav in the background.

Even Triglav, Slovenian highest mountain, could be seen in the distance.

St. Ana church in Tunjice and Mt. Triglav in the misty background.

Mt. Triglav.

Woohoo, we're above Mt. Triglav!

Mt. Triglav and a paraglider.

From here you can see directly to the Triglav Lakes Valley with Mt. Triglav itself in the bakground.

On the way down from Mahavšček, looking towards Triglav.

The meadows at Dolniki, looking towards the Triglav Lakes Valley.

Mt. Triglav.

Mali Draški vrh, Veliki Draški vrh to the left, Triglav and Rž to the right.

Triglav in the distance.

Triglav, again with both huts: Kredarica and Planika.

Around the Aljaz tower at the top of Triglav.

There was nobody at the top of Triglav.

Dolic hut at the bottom, Hribarice and the Triglav valley.

The Triglav valley and Lepo spicje. You can even see the Prehodavci hut.

Triglav from the north.

Triglav and its north rockface.

We started the hike in the Vrata valley at 5 a.m.

The hike began before dawn. It was 6.30 when we set off from the valley. The first sun rays just hit Triglav.

Triglav's famous north face from below.

Our goal - Triglav - at sunrise.

First sun rays on Mt. Bovski Gamsovec.

Nearby mountains were glowing red.

We scrambled on scree below the north face.

Soon the climb through the woods began.

Luknja col in front of us.

Light changed from red to more yellowish ...

On the other side of the col the Zadnjica valley opened up.

... and finally to bright white. This is Triglav's infamous north face.

There were too many people on this trail. Everybody prepared for the climbing part - we put away hiking poles and put on helmets.

At the foot of the north face, scree leads towards the bottom of the valley.

The beginning of the Plemenice route.

Arduous climbing in the scorching sun.

One more look toward the west and the Zadnjica valley.

Just before reaching Kredarica hut, we stopped to admire the views. There is Stanic hut in the background.

The large group in front of us caused a lot of waiting ...

Our first stop, Kredarica hut. We had lunch, left our rucksacks here and set off for the final hour of climbing to the top.

... so we overtook them at the first opportunity. We were gaining altitude fast. That is Luknja col right below us.

The whole ascend consists of steep trails and there is a steel rope to help climbers.

Views back to Kredarica and the ridge of Mali Triglav.

There was a lot of steel rope and pegs.

Did I mention there were many many people trying to do the same as we did? :)

A helmet has become a necessary part of equipment on the exposed trails.

The views from the climbing trail were spectacular all the time.

At the top of Triglav, there is a peculiar steel construction called Aljaž tower.

My brother with Mt. Skrlatica in the background.

Views were partially obscured by mist and smog.

Vrata valley far below.

Looking back towards Kredarica and Mt. Rjavina.

More climbing.

There's a tradition for those who climb Triglav for the first time that they have to be flogged with a rope. Since this was Nataša's first ascend, an unknown mountaineer volunteered to take on the task - and gladly so. :)

We were never alone - even though this is the most difficult marked trail, it's still very popular with many hikers.

We took in the views one more time before returning to Kredarica.

Looking down can be dangerous for those with vertigo. :)

The views on the way down were equally stunning as on the way up. Mali Triglav and the ridge of Debela peč and Mrežce in the background.

Scrambling up on all four.

Precipices on both sides make for lovely views - and vertigo for the faint-hearted.

Sfinga.

The trails evens out for a while ...

... before plunging towards Kredarica again.

Me thrilled with the climb.

Another look down the Vrata valley.

A couple of climbers and Triglav in the background.

Triglav.

It was so peaceful at sunset.

After breakfast we had to cross a snow-covered slope, but as the snow was soft, we didn't need crampons or an ice axe.

Even ghosts felt it was safe to make an appearance. :)

Mt. Jalovec and Mangart in the background.

Seeing the sunrise is something you don't want to miss when you're so high up in the mountains.

We soon reached another rock face.

Quite a few people gathered in front of the hut to observe the morning colors.

Red rock.

I wonder what that man is pointing to?

Triglav.

Going towards Triglavska skrbina.

More and more people came, but the sun was still not up.

Clouds started to roll in from the south.

And there it is - the first glimpse of the sun.

My brother and his long legs.

Some were watching, some were taking photos, some were recording the whole thing.

A blaze with a view.

Kredarica hut before sunrise.

More steel ropes.

Kredarica hut at sunrise.

Looking back to where we came from. Mt. Razor in the background.

Kredarica hut more than an hour after sunrise.

First glimpse of the Aljaz tower at the top.

It's amazing how the colors change in such short time.

Kredarica on the other side.

Then it was time to head back to the valley, but not where we came from. For the B&W version place the cursor over the photo.

Again, many people at the top.

We went toward Pokljuka to the south.

Kredarica hut from above.

There were plants with red leaves growing next to the trail.

Stanic hut and Mt. Rjavina.

Careful!

It's a tradition to be "baptized" with a length of rope when climbing Triglav for the first time. :)

Fall colors were starting to show.

Fog in the Vrata valley almost 2 kms lower.

One of the mountain pastures close to Pokljuka.

More clouds rolled in from the south.

On the final stretch of our hike - walking the last meters towards the parking lot on Pokljuka where Aco was waiting for us with the car.

We spent an hour at the summit, eating and taking photos. Of ourselves, too.

Aljaz tower and the Vrata valley.

Proof I was there. :)

The descent is steep but the steel rail makes it a lot easier.

Peter going backwards.

On the way to Kredarica.

The fog on the right hand side prevented us from seeing down the precipice.

There was quite a bit of snow left. Still not a lot compared to a glacier that used to be here decades ago.

Already halfway down Mt. Mali Triglav.

My and my blue helmet.

"Marked climbing trail"

After some hearty "jota" we looked towards Mt. Tosc and Veliki draski vrh before heading for the valley.

Kredarica hut.

There were still 3.5 hours of descent ahead of us.

Triglavski podi.

The blue sky and puffy white clouds and steel rope.

Patterns in the remains of the Triglav glacier.

Mt. Triglav.

We had to cross quite a few snow patches.

Stanic hut. Mt. Rjavina was already in the clouds.

Me in front of Mt. Begunjski vrh.

Triglav is home to many chamois. They are quite used to people and don't run away until you get really close.

The red rock face of Mt. Begunjski vrh.

Another chamois.

It was a long way down and my knees were already feeling shaky.

The trail to Luknja col that we had climbed early in the morning.

Looking up.

A group of hikers going up and we cornered a chamois, which didn't seem to be bothered at all.

One of the few sections of the trail that didn't involve climbing.

Last look of the Triglav north face before we reached the valley floor about 14 hours after we had set off.

The beginning of a number of mountains trails. The pole marks the boundary of the Triglav National Park.

Triglav with a sprinkle of snow.

At the top of Mt. Viševnik at 2050 meters above sea level. Mt. Triglav was hiding behind a cloud and jackdaws were flying over our heads.

After a hearty snack at the top we headed towards the Srenjski preval pass with the views of Triglav getting better and better.

Mt. Triglav and two mountain huts: Dom Planika on the left and Kredarica on the right.

Views from Mala Tičarica to the north: Veliko Špičje, Zelnarica, Kanjavec, Triglav in the background.

Swirl of clouds around Triglav and Kredarica.

Backlit leaves on the way to the waterfall.

Pericnik and a rainbow.

Under the overhang.

More rainbow.

A closer look.

Handheld.

From the other side.

Mary used for scale. :)

Beautiful setting.
