Slovenia: Hike: Levstik's Trail: From Litija to Čatež


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.

In Litija, before the start, we crossed the Sava river

Cloudy weather didn't stop us

One of many stops on the way, where you can buy refreshments, usually home made ones

One man down

We lost 3 of them, so only 4 left on the picture

Up and down the hills


I think I hurt my ankle here. Not sure though. 

Another energy boost

Demanding 22 kilometres, still we didn't totally finish it, so we will have to come back next year
