I am always searching for secluded paths in our mountains, where I can really enjoy in silence while watching the nature. And this weekend I really hit the jackpot.
I visited Pihavec, the moutain in Razor group. It is situated above Kriski Podi plateau and right in the middle of the highest mountains in Julian Alps. Pihavec is connected with Bovški Gamsovec over the ridge, that also look very wild and must be a very interesting climbing route. Only one marked and secured route leads to the summit from Kriški Podi, but this was not my route.
I decided to ascend from Luknja over the south east side. Since there is no marked path and even almost no trace of humans, this really is untouched and wild part of Julian Alps. You just try to follow the most logical way to the top. The path also offers nice but easy climbing.
I descended over marked route towards Kriški podi and since I still had some time, I did not turn right towards my starting point. I followed a path towards Stenarska vrata and then ascended Križ. From there it was a nice descend towards bivouac IV and then to Vrata.
A really nice hike.
