Slovenia: Backcountry Skiing - Prag below Batognica

Our 4 day backcountry skiing camp with Chera Hiking began yesterday with our ascent to Komna, to a hut called Majerca and today was our first tour. Over saddle Bogatinsko sedlo we reached the Lake Krn and from there we continued to another saddle called Prag. We prolonged our trip for a few more meters, to a nice plateau below Batognica, which was our destination. After a break we skied back down to the lake, made another ascent to Bogatinsko sedlo and then we enjoyed some more skiing in the Gracija valley until we reached our home hut - Garmin Connect.

View towards the toilet with our Komna plateau.

Many options.

Badžo, Tomaž and Mark.

Break on the way.

Approaching Lake Krn, the largest Slovenian high mountain lake, that lies at a height of 1391 metres.

Krnsko jezero lake is nearly 400 metres long, 150 metres wide and 17 metres deep in its deepest part.

Start of our 2nd ascent towards mountain Krn.

Still a long way to the top.

Looking back.

Some of us were already tired.

Finally the saddle called Prag, 2058 m.

We reached our destination.

We returned on the same path.

Remains of the Rapallo border between Kingdom of Italy and Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the mountain valley Za Lepočami. The extensive barracks complex once numbered seven masoned structures.

 

After almost 9 hours we returned back home, where we had an evening party with some foxy ladies.
