PSYCHOTHERAPY IN SHARE
dazzling September this year. It 's just started in the autumn, but if it were not for the twilight advancing inexorably eating days and the fruity smell of the campaign, you do not notice. It's hot, with temperatures that reach thirty degrees in the daytime, but if you leave the city you smell the must and glazes high in the sky blue remove all hope: the summer is dying. I want to go to the mountains today, though with a heavy heart.
The choice falls on Vogel. There have been a couple of times, but it's close and with little effort you get on top of a "real" of almost two thousand meters, but wild and full of charm with a shelter to offer comfort to Mr. walkers.
I wake up without effort, while having an argument with the blankets pulled my niece all night, turning over constantly. It matters little: it was a small, amusing nuisance.
Dawn is happy and I am confident that my mood will be lightened by the fatal ascent. The forest is dense and silent, on the narrow road that climbs up sheer from Tolmin to Planina Lom. Here the fall is really started, with red beech trees swept by strong winds and a family of amanita muscaria to welcome. We cross the pasture and we continue along the track which is close to Planina Razor almost an hour easy walk on level ground. For me it will be one hour of tears, but that's another story.
Arrive at the refuge and the mountain seems to me that not even I care anymore. I'm terrified I can not lose the only real pleasure in my life. I try not to think about it and attack the climb.
Vogel is over our heads, a little 'grayed by low clouds that threaten it, but you can start to sweat.
One step after another, beginning the mantra. Gain altitude slowly, one step after another. Just breath and slow steps. Only the feet and legs and breathing. One step after another. Sete and breath, one step after another. The heart that beats strong and slowly adjust back, one step after another.
therapy works: after an hour and a half of mantra, the thoughts are dissolved, melted away like snow in the sun. There are only small drops of fatigue on the front and back.
No fanfare, today, only grass graying, Hazy skies and drops of sweat, a step by step, nothing but thought, thank God.
At the top, no euphoria. Only the relief of finally being empty of thoughts, in order to be able to see a sky without fanfare and padded tops and windswept. Silent lunch, each with their own thoughts, until it makes its way an idea: take a loop through the Globokar Planina Razor and then down to a new location. Along
the sharp ridge is just angry Bora and a steep slope that goes off in beech. Then the track gets lost among the sharp rocks of the ridge and you have to collect ideas for coming up with the route heads north for a few meters and then to step back and return to the original side. Just a little exercise guidance, nothing more, but this clears the last thoughts survivors.
In absolute solitude, we come uprooted tombstones of old boundaries and some other artifact. Then, just downhill at breakneck speed down the valley, with some short gravel to go running to the gas in the legs.
Again sweat and thirst and hunger and want a beer. Back in
refuge with the needs of a strong heart and lighter. The jota is hot and the cold beer. The legs are a bit 'packed and feet hurt. You want to go for mushrooms and make some pictures.
It comes back to life.
TECHNICAL
Charter: Planinska Zveza Slovenj "Julian Alps" 1:50.000.
Elevation gain: 998 m in total. From Tolminske Ravne (m 924) to Planina Razor (1315 m) meters 391, and the Vogel Planina Razor (1922) 607 meters.
DESCRIPTION
Departure: reached the town of Tolmin in Slovenia, continue to the hamlet of Ljubinj, from which a narrow and winding stock facing steep slopes (be careful), which can be covered in full up to an obvious parking near Planina Lom. Here you can leave the vehicle to continue on foot.
PATH
Continue to clear the Planina a cart in an open alpine pastures. It goes without mistakes along the long route that serves the hut Planina Razor almost entirely in the forest with moderate slopes. In just under an hour you reach the Planina Razor.
just behind the part of the easy path for Vogel reported on the ground, open meadows, dwarf pines and rocks that rises gently towards the northeast. Once you are in an obvious saddle between the summit and Globokar, with the view that opens in the north - east, go left for an easy slope of the Vogel, which is just a few minutes nice top, open in all directions (1:45 am from the refuge). You may enter the same route, or continue westward along the charming and sharp ridges up to a rocky summit and absolute, beyond which is a step that leads with a clear path to the south to Planina Razor. To break the deadlock, you must get off in a northerly direction for a few dozen meters up the obvious trail that goes from Bohjinj to the Vogel and remains on the north side. Gained the path, it always runs west wine to a saddle with a fork, where it goes up to the obvious fork, facing south. From here the route is intuitive, as the refuge is with a view to our feet and all that remains is the clear path ahead.
CONSIDERATIONS
Vogel I like it very much: the drive is short and sweet, without congested highways, the path is not too hard to get to a respectable share of 1922 meters. Canin and sweeping views to the Triglav, seasonal blooms from manual, cozy retreat, jota fabulous dumplings and cake: what you ask for in a mountain?
There are many who think as I do, because there is always very popular, but I swear that is his only flaw!
