58) Stol - 24/Oct/2015

Stol (2236m) is the highest peak in Karavanke range, on the border between Slovenia and Austria.
Access to the summit is easy from south and east, but more difficult from the Austrian side.
We started the hike at Valvasorjev dom (1181m), and hiked a little more than one thousand vertical meters to the summit.
The views from Stol are wonderful, once you are above the tree line.
All the highest peaks in Slovenia can be seen, and also the towns in Gorenjska (Upper Carniola): Jesenice, Bled, Radovljica, Lesce etc.
A mountain hut named Prešernova koča (2174m) is located just below the summit.
Once on the summit, a view into Austria opens up.
We took a different trail back to Valvazorjev dom - via Zabreška planina.
