We're going on a bear hunt! Dom na Komni to Dom Planika

The weather was better than expected so Charlie decided we could go on a little tour!!

"Why don't we go to the Triglavski lakes Dom  (2h30 away) and see what we fancy doing from there?" I agreed this was a good idea.

On the way to the lakes we were on the lookout for any evidence of brown bears, especially as there had been reports in Trenta of a mother with 3 cubs but Charlie then said: "Although I'd like to see a bear, I don't think I'd like to encounter one!" We spent a while discussing potential tactics!

After a quick coffee , she said:

"Seeing as we've made such good time, why don't we head up to the col before the next hut?" Again I agreed, a little more reluctant as our bailing options were dwindling! In the meantime, we passed two more huts, and spotted a couple of black salamanders.

At lunch at the col, there were 3 options, but Charlie only really had one in mind: Dom Planika, just under the summit of Triglav (Slovenia's highest mountain). After presenting a convincing case, we agreed to stop the night at said hut at 2400m.

At dinner, Charlie suggested that we get up at 5:30 to climb Triglav the following day. I went to bed quietly confident that she wouldn't wake up at such an early hour...

Water doesn't get much clearer than this
