Skrlatica
Skrlatica is among the highest peaks in our country, second only to Triglav. It's not so easy to climb it (but it's not too difficult either). So it might not be appropriate for inexperienced hikers. A possible starting point is the Vrata valley, which you can reach by driving from Jesenice to Mojstrana. Drive all the way into the valley, passing a magnificent waterfall Pericnik. Park your car at the end of the road close to Aljazev dom (a large mountain hut). From this hut, hiking trails lead to the surrounding peaks, including Triglav. Find the trailhead to Skrlatica. It takes 5 to 6 hours to reach the top, however if you're in good shape, you might be able to do it in 4 hours. Plan the same time for return, so it obviously will be a full day affair.
This picture shows Skrlatica in evening sunlight, as seen from the road to Vrsic pass. This is the west face of the mountain.
Another possible starting point is a hut called Pogacnikov dom. It stands on a plateau (well, sort of) Kriski podi and there are three tiny lakes in proximity. These are actually the highest lakes in Slovenia. Pogacnikov dom is accessible from various directions: from Vrata valley, from Zadnjica valley and from Vrsic pass as well. Plan on around four hours to reach Pogacnikov dom from these places, except Vrsic, which can take about 6 hours.
You will need around three hours from Pogacnikov dom to the summit.
This is a view of Skrlatica from the summit of Triglav. That's its southeast face and this is where the trail to the summit leads.
Like I said, the climb is not too difficult, but there are a couple of quite vertical spots. Here you can see me just climbing out of the final barrier. After this one, it all gets fairly easy, but caution is still advised.
This is the final part and from here you can reach the top in 30 minutes or so. Watch your step - loose rocks and sand can be tricky. It's best to go slow and be very careful here.
This is a view from just below the summit. These are the neighbours of Skrlatica. They are called Rokav. No marked trails exist here, in fact, no trail is marked north of Skrlatica (with the exception of Spik). The Rokav range has probably some of the most difficult peaks to climb in the whole Julian Alps. These peaks are only for very experienced climbers and a proper set of climbing gear will be essential here. You must know the area well, or else there's a good chance of getting lost.
That's another view of the summit. All the trails unite here and only one leads to the top. The final part of the trail starts in the lower left corner and leads diagonally to the upper right one and then follows the ridge all the way to the top. There are a couple of tricky spots on this final part which might make your heart beat a bit faster. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it's actually great fun.
A bit more on trail from Vrata valley: it gets quite spectacular once you're above the tree limit. Not the least because of great views across the valley towards the north face of Triglav, which looks really vertical and mighty. At halfway, there's a shelter, Bivak 4. Not much comfort in there, but it will provide roof in rainy or snowy weather.
This is the spot where both trails from Vrata and Pogacnikov dom come together. In the background you can see the southeast face of the range. The other side, west face, drops vertically into Krnica valley.
