Planjava

Planjava () is the highest mountain of the eastern Kamnik Alps in northern Slovenia. On the western side there is a steep wall over the KamniÃÂ¡ko sedlo pass, on the eastern side runs a long ridge and on the northern side there is an almost high wall above the Logar Valley.

History of climbing

The first recorded climb was by Franz Hohenwart in 1793 with a local from KamniÃÂ¡ka Bistrica, although it is speculated that there were local hunters who climbed the mountain before them. Planjava is now one of the most visited peaks in Slovenia.
