Slovenia: Two Day Hike To Triglav - Day 2

Early in the morning, at around 5 a.m., we continued with our hike to Triglav (Day 1). Still in the dark, we left Kredarica mountain hut and after one hour, we were standing on top of Slovenia, waiting for the sunrise. We were rewarded with a beautiful scenery and after we took all the photos, we started with our way back. Kredarica mountain hut was soon behind us, I made a short detour to Rž and then we regrouped at Dom Valentina Staniča mountain hut. We continued to descend in the valley between Cmir and Visoka Vrbanova špica and in early afternoon we finished our hiking trip.

 

We started with the help of the headlamps.

Wasn't easy but also not too hard.

 

Man made cairn markings helped us to stay on the right track.

Scree for quick descent.

 

We hiked to the bottom of Požgana Mlinarice, where Nada and me hiked a month ago (15024).
