At 1 p.m. when the ski lifts stopped working the snow was already quite heavy but not as much as one would expect in April.

The trail from Planina Javorniki was well-trodden.

Soon I reached the Lipanca hut with my destination, Mt. Mrežce, looming over it.
|
|

Looking back towards the valley.
|
|

Blue skies and puffy clouds.
|
|

From here on there was no defined trail and I had to trudge through the heavy snow.
|
|

Larches along the trail.

This was the good part of the trail. ;)
