Slovenia: Brezniške peči or from Žirovnica to Podljubelj


The ridge of the Brezniške peči is the westernmost beginning of the Kamnik - Savinja Alps, and in its highest part it barely exceeds a thousand meters above sea level. Usually we always see it while driving on the motorway towards Jesenice, but today, it was time to see it from close. We started the hike from Žirovnica and immediately we ascended to the ridge. The path follows the ridge almost all the time, crossing the less known peaks Brinjev vrh, 715 m, Mali vrh, 861 m, Peči, 855 m, Reber, 883 m, Gosjak, 888 m, Golovec 953 m, Jecola 1080 m and Smokuški vrh, 1122 m. At Smokuški vrh, the ridge ends and we followed the trail to the north, to a mountain pasture Poljška planina, 1180 m. Our first stop was on Planina Planinca, 1136 m and the last one on Koča na Prevalu mountain hut, 1311 m. From there, we just descended to our home - Garmin Connect.

 
We started the hike in front of Čop’s Birth House in Žirovnica, following the trail past water station, built in 1914.

 
Through the tunnel to the ridge.

View towards Jelovica plateau.

The path mainly follows the ridge.

We were below the highest peak of the Karawanks, Stol, 2236 m.

Above the artificial Završnica lake.

Julian Alps with our highest mountain, Triglav and Upper Sava Valley.

Towards Mali vrh.

 
From time to time, we really had a magnificent view to the surroundings.

 
On the way, we had some quick breaks.

 
Towards Reber, 883 m.

 
Near Golovec, 953 m, the view opened again.

 
Finally over 1000 m above sea level.

Towards Tomčeva koča na Poljški planini, 1180 m.

We made our first break at mountain pasture Planina Planinca, 1136 m.

From this point, our route goes only down.

Our last stop was at Koča na Prevalu mountain hut, 1311 m.
