After a very short night I took the train from
Podnart to
Litija with my friends Aleš, Rok, Primož and Danica. In
Litija Aleš and Ana joined us and we started the hike.
First hikers started the 27th annual hiking event on the Levstik path from
Litija to
Čatež at 6 a.m. Despite bad weather, around 4000 hikers from all over
Slovenia took part in walking the Levstik path. The 22 km journey from
Litija to
Čatež is one of the most popular hiking events in Slovenia.The trail was described by
Fran Levstik in his travelogue “The Journey from Litija to Čatež”.
Since we started a bit late, we needed the whole day, still we didn't reach the end due to bad weather, nevertheless we were close to the finish line, therefore we will need to do the
Levstik's Trail again next year.
