Google Maps took me perfectly to the Trailhead at Suhadolnik (901 m) on the Southwest Side of the Mountain where I stayed Overnight. I was the only one there. In the Morning i made my way up the signed Trail and soon thereafter I run into Heavy Washout and not much of a Trail anymore. That was ok because it wasn’t steep. Eventually I caught up to the Trail again and it was a nice walk in the Forest till I reached the steep part through the Gorge which was completely wiped out and gone. This took some time to figure out a way through with the occasional Cairn and Paint-marked Rocks for guidance. Past this Section I joined the Trail further up with the occasional Washout up to the Hut which was closed for the Season. There was also a Sign saying the Trail is closed. (Same Sign is at the Parking Lot in Four Languages, Just didn’t see it in the Morning). From the Hut to Summit the Trail is in Great Shape with a little Scree but nothing bad. Great Views over the Mountains with Fog in the Valley. Returned back the same way to the Hut and down the Closed Trail where I meet another Hiker just ascending. Don’t know where he came from because my Car was still alone in the Parking Lot on my Return. Other People I had meet at the Summit had a North Side approach Trail to the Hut. While my Route is not bad in general it just takes a bit more time in Route finding and scrambling through the Gorge.
