Slovenia: Recreational BD Party

This year I organized a recreational party for my birthday. Our first goal was to conquer Dom na Zelenici mountain hut and attendees had a chance to decide how. First option was with a bicycle and they had an honour to be with me. John, Katja, Tanja, Borut, Aleš and Boštjan joined me on this trip.

Lake Završnica is a reservoir, artificially dammed lake in the valley below the mountain Stol (2236 m) in the Karawanks.

Lake lies at an altitude of 640 meters, has an area of ​​2.5 ha and a maximum depth of 10 m. From this point on we had the hardest part in front of us.

Horses near the lake.

On our way up we helped to move the stove at Smokuška planina.

At our destination, Dom na Zelenici mountain hut, 1536 m, the second group joined us. Aleš, Andreja, Klara, Matic, Vid, Tim, Danica, Nada, Primož, Blaž, Saška and Vlado hiked up from Ljubelj.

Bikers: Tanja, Katja, Aleš, Borut, Tuši, John and Boštjan @ Koča Vrtača mountain hut, 1288 m, half way down

Guess who broke the bicycle again? This time it was only a tube, which was quickly fixed with 2 patches.

Bicycle tour (43.23 km, 6:12:58, ↑1.291 m): Podljubelj - Brezje pri Tržiču - Rodine - Žirovnica - Smokuška planina - Koča pri izviru Završnice mountain hut - Dom na Zelenici mountain hut - Podljubelj

In the afternoon we switch from recreational part to relaxing one. Katja and John left us, one for Brezje pri Tržiču, one for Whitby, New Zealand. Me and others went into the forest, where my mum has a small hut and we started warming up a prepared goulash and while we were waiting we had a couple of refreshing drinks.

Bringing the goods to the hut was an important task

Food, drinks, good company, party...
