mountains, then Jalovec is the undisputed king of mountains on the sunny side of the Alps and, for many, the most beautiful mountain in Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 2645 meters, Jalovec is the 6th highest mountain in Slovenia (if we also count Mali Triglav as an independent mountain), it lies in the very western part of our territory, its northern wall ends the Tamar valley, in the west its slopes descend steeply into a mysterious and somewhat forgotten valley of Lo\u0161ka Koritnica, to the south we descend from Jalovec into the magical valley of Zadnja Trenta, and from the east to its summit the ridge of Mojstrovki, \u0160it and other peaks above Tamar leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Jalovac, this part of the Julian Alps is dominated by Mangart, which stands on the other &#8220;bank&#8221; of the Lo\u0161ka Koritnica and together form two mighty rocky masses that rise more than 2,600 meters high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

Otherwise, all climbs to the king of Slovenian mountains are technically and physically very demanding and will take you at least 6 hours of climbing and about as much descending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"520\" data-id=\"15391\" src=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vzhod-na-Jalovcu-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vzhod-na-Jalovcu.jpg 924w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vzhod-na-Jalovcu-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vzhod-na-Jalovcu-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vzhod-na-Jalovcu-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sunrise on Jalovec &#8211; View towards Triglav and \u0160krlatica<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jalovec from Zadnja Trenta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffa300\"><thead><tr><th>Zadnja Trenta &#8211; Jalovec<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Basic data<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Starting height<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">900 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Height difference along the way<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1750 m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ascent time<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5 h<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The difficulty of walking<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">very challenging marked trail<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The starting point<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Zadnja Trenta (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/46%C2%B024'15.2%22N+13%C2%B042'35.9%22E\/@46.404222,13.7073903,501m\/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d46.4042183!4d13.7099652?authuser=0&amp;entry=ttu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">46.4042, 13.7099<\/a>)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Recommended equipment<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"> sports hiking shoes, hiking poles,<br>helmet, climbing Safety kit<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A cabin on the way<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Shelter under \u0160pi\u010dek (3 hours)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Parking fee<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">free<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Suitable for a dog<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">no<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.komoot.com\/tour\/1238617296\/embed?profile=1\" width=\"100%\" height=\"700\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zadnja Trenta is, in my opinion, the most fairy-tale valley in our country.

There, the mountain signs direct us to the right bank, looking up the valley, and the signs indicate that it takes 4 hours to reach the shelter under \u0160pi\u010dek (a bit exaggerated, realistically the climb takes about 3 hours) and 5 hours to Jalovec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike most climbs that start in alpine valleys, where the trail continues to climb the valley for some time, here it is a little different, as the trail immediately bites into the slope and begins to climb in serpentines through the forest. The steepness practically does not give way and forces us to take a moderate step and breathe deeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"520\" data-id=\"15399\" src=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prvo-krizisce-na-poti-proti-Jalovcu-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prvo-krizisce-na-poti-proti-Jalovcu.jpg 924w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prvo-krizisce-na-poti-proti-Jalovcu-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prvo-krizisce-na-poti-proti-Jalovcu-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Prvo-krizisce-na-poti-proti-Jalovcu-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The path through the forest around the first junction on the way up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After about 45 minutes, we climb up to the first intersection, where we keep to the left, and the signpost invites us to Vr\u0161i\u010d to the right.

The first part of the ascent passes under the small Jalovec, and after crossing the 2nd or 3rd ravine, we move under the 2645-meter-high King. there are not many steel cables in this part of the route, as the slope of the wall we climb is not excessive, but still steep enough to see the Lo\u0161ka Koritnica valley about 1,000 meters below.

Everything is perfectly equipped and protected, but still, if you&#8217;re bloody under the skin, some adrenaline circulates through your veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-28 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"693\" data-id=\"15446\" src=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-po-poti-navzgor-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-po-poti-navzgor-1.jpg 924w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-po-poti-navzgor-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-po-poti-navzgor-1-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-po-poti-navzgor-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A look at the path ahead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After crossing the path from the upper entrance, the path moves a little into the slope and the slope slightly decreases, and there are not so many steel cables anymore, although there are still quite a few.

We are about 200 meters higher than the shelter itself. From the saddle, the marked path turns left onto a steep meadow, but for the descent, in my opinion, it is better to use scree. After a quick descent, the path then takes us to the right, where we cross scree for some time, and the path soon leads us to a more divided terrain, where we walk past many rocks and boulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-32 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"520\" data-id=\"15454\" src=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-z-melisca-proti-Triglavu-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-z-melisca-proti-Triglavu-1.jpg 924w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-z-melisca-proti-Triglavu-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-z-melisca-proti-Triglavu-1-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vnaravo.si\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Vnaravo_Pogled-z-melisca-proti-Triglavu-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">View towards Prisojnik, Razor and Triglav<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As we descend the scree, increasingly beautiful views begin to open up towards Prisojnik, Razor, Triglav\u2026 but when we get from the rocks to the grassy slope, the view opens up to Zadnja Trenta.

That much is said to be needed for the descent from Jalovec to Kotovo saddle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The descent on the western side of the saddle is initially on scree, but lower down we also reach somewhat harder and more stable ground underfoot.
