Planjava
# Planjava

Planjava (2,394 meters or 7,854 feet) is the highest mountain of the eastern Kamnik Alps in northern Slovenia. On the western side there is a steep wall over the Kamniško sedlo pass, on the eastern side runs a long ridge and on the northern side there is an almost 1,000-meter (3,300 ft) high wall above the Logar Valley.

## History of climbing

The first recorded climb was by Franz Hohenwart in 1793 with a local from Kamniška 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.
