Kriški podi

Julij je pravi čas za obisk gora. Ta vikend smo šli na Kriške pode, ki so dobro izhodišče za obisk višjih gora. Ker smo bili zjutraj malo pozni, me je mož prosil, naj ne fotografiram vsake skale ob poti. Vzpon traja štiri ure in nismo smeli izgubljati preveč časa, zato sem raje fotografirala po poti nazaj.

Pot vodi iz Zadnjice do Pogačnikovega doma na Kriških podih in ni pretežka. Tam sva bila že jeseni pred nekaj leti, ko sva občudovala rumene macesne.

Pokrajina z majhnimi jezeri blizu koče je čudovita. Ker je bilo včeraj precej mrzlo in vetrovno, smo šli le do spodnjega jezera.

July is a perfect time for mountaineering. Last weekend we went to Kriški podi, which is a good starting point to visit some of the highest peaks of Julian Alps. In the morning we were a little late and my husband kept asking me not to photograph each rock on our way up. It was a four-hour long ascent and we couldn't afford to lose too much time. So the photos were taken on our way back to the valley.

The mountain trail leads from Zadnjica valley to mountain hut Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and it's not too difficult. We were already there in autumn a few years ago when there were lots of yellow larch trees.

The three little lakes near the mountain hut complete the scenery. It was windy and quite cold, so we went only to the lower lake. 

Pogled od koče na okoliške hribe jemlje dih.

A view of surrounding mountains from the hut is beautiful.

V tem letnem času cveti veliko gorskih rožic. Te res obožujem. Zame nobena vrtna cvetlica ni tako lepa kot te divje rožice.

In this time of the year, a lot of tiny mountain flowers are blooming near the hut. I adore mountain flowers. In my opinion, no garden flowers can be as beautiful as wildflowers.

Po poti navzdol (in tudi gor) smo občudovali razgled na Trento.

On our way down (or up) we enjoyed a view over Trenta. 

Velike skale ob stezi so na več mestih podprte z lesenimi palicami. Mogoče jih ponoči prinašajo škratje in tako preprečijo, da bi se skale zakotalile v dolino. Moj mali se je moji pripombi samo smejal. pravi, da sem otročja.

Big rocks near the footpath are held up by weak wooden sticks. Maybe some dwarfs bring these sticks at nights to prevent the rocks to roll to the valley. My son laughed at me and said that I am childish.
