OverviewThe Planjava via-normale is classified as demanding in the categorization of marked and secured mountain-hiking paths.
What is demanding is a shorter, but steep and exposed scramble (secured) just below Srebrno sedlo, the saddle which we reach before rejoining the base of the (comfortable) Planjava SE ridge.
This route is most probably the initial Planjava summit access.
Shepperds certainly made use of the Korosica and Petkove Njive meadows which lay ESE of Planjava. The progressive inclination of the SE slopes was certainly a sheep favorite, consequently leading to the agreably rounded off SE ridge and to the E summit (where the summitbook is).
Wild goats (ibex) are often spotted around here in winter, as they come up for a mid-day sun bath.
Getting ThereOur path starts at the Korosica hut (Kocbekov dom na Korosici).
Route DescriptionNext to the hut, our marked route is signposted PLANJAVA and KAMNISKO SEDLO.
We leave westwards, slighly downhill at first, then horizontaly crossing the slopes below the Planjava E ridge.
The meadow below us, to our left, is called Petkove njive (Fridays fields). As our path ascends towards Srebrno sedlo, we reach the secured passage.
Srebrno sedlo (silver saddle) offers lefthand views down the Repov Kot valley (the leftbank Zeleniske Spice crest is especially attractive).
We continue westwards, but very soon split righthand (signposted Planjava), now properly heading up the comfortable SE ridge to the Planjava summit.
If we wish to traverse the Planjava upper S face -heading W for the Kamnik saddle Hut (signpost Kamnisko sedlo), we ignore the right hand Planjava indication
and reverse this route.
