Stenar, Mountain summit in the Julian Alps, Slovenia
Stenar rises to 2501 meters and features steep rocky walls on the north side, while descending gradually to a karst plateau on the southwest. The different faces of the mountain display varied geological characteristics.
Stenar belongs to the Razor and Prisojnik group of the Julian Alps. Its walls drop steeply to the Na Rušju plateau and the Vrata valley, while the gentler slope toward Kriške pode carries the normal route to the top. The north wall, called Trikot, holds several hard climbing routes. To the west the Stenarska vratca saddle links it with Križ, and the Dovška vratca with Bovški Gamsovec.
The summit features a registration box and stamps, continuing the Alpine tradition where climbers and hikers record their successful ascents.
The main route begins at Aljažev dom in Vrata valley and follows marked trails to the summit. The hike takes about five hours and requires steady footing and good physical condition.
