Overview

Štruca is situated between Dolgi Hrbet to the W, and Skuta to the E.

Štruca is amusing to look at in its S to W view. As the name says it appears as a bread loaf pouring onto the Veliki Podi karstic grounds. Veliki Podi are the Big Grounds, a big terrace lying between Grintovec to the W (bivouac), and the S (SE) ridge of Skuta to the E.

Above the Ledine terrace and hut, the N and NW faces offer a few Alpine routes, as the Skuta N face does.

A climbers imagination is mostly stimulated by the W face, its compact limestone and its enormous overhang (a famous Aid-climb in the 1960's).
The Štruca S face offers moderate Alpine climbs (trad) on perfect rock and is therefore popular.

Getting There
