Slovenia / Austria: Motorbiking and Geocaching Day


After a difficult Saturday it was time for an easy Sunday. Nada and me took the Blue Horse and we went for a ride. First we crossed the boarder and did some riding in Austrian Carinthia, we continued in Slovenian Styria and ended back home in Upper Carniola.

Riding through Sele Fara (Zell Pfarre)

Time for the first stop at our first Geocache place of the day @ Muri Quelle/Spring/Vrelec

It took us some time to find it

Our road continued over Pavlič Pass (Pavličevo sedlo) to Logar valley (Logarska dolina)

At the end of the valley we visited one of the tallest waterfalls in Slovenia, waterfall Rinka, with its drop of 105 metres and the longest step of 90 m.

The third geocache of the day took us to this beautiful spot

The location of the last geocache was close to more then 250 year old water-powered mill, called Žagarski mlin (Žagar's mill). Žagar's mill is the only operating watermill in the upper part of Savinja valley. Before Second World War there were almost twenty mills in Luče and nearby villages, unfortunately, due to electrification and technological progress these mills were no longer economically viable, so they were all getting ruined. Žagar 's mill was registered in time of Maria Theresa, which means that mill is at least 250 years old.

The day was over after 190 kilometres

Happy Youth Day!
Today we found 4 geocaches:
- Muri Quelle, GCQNFH

- Logarska dolina / Logar Valley, GC51J5A
- Žagerski mlin/Žager's mill, GC3WPY8
