Slovenia: Hike to Košutica & Hrast Memorial

After the hard picnic day we decided to remove some toxins from our bodies, so Nada and me went hiking. We started from Karavla to Planina Korošica, 1554 m, where we had 2 cups of tea each and then we continued over Hajnževo sedlo, 1701 m to Baba/Košutica, 1968 m. Cold and windy weather reminded us to our last years winter ascent. We quickly ate a sandwich and descended to Stari Ljubelj, 1370 m, where 19th Hrast Memorial was taking place.

Even the birds flew low due to low visiblity
