Slovenia: Hike & Fly to Dovška Baba, Afternoon on Prelaz Ljubelj


Dovška Baba is a peak in the Western Karawanks, and since I still haven't been there, today was the time to do that. It is a very known peak for ski touring, but today it was used for a hike & fly adventure. Nada was a photographer, while Rok and me made another tick to our new take off sites list.

Since that wasn't enough, Nada and me did a short afternoon hike to a pass prelaz Ljubelj.

Slovenia: Mountain Biking around Dobrča


It was great weather for mountain biking, so with Nada we decided to visit Koča na Dobrči mountain hut, 1478 m. After a short break at the hut we hiked to the peak of Dobrča, 1634 m, and Šentanski vrh, 1635 m. Soon we returned back, where we met some friends and we had a nice lunch and a few beers, but soon we had to move on, since we also decided to visit the Koča na Prevalu mountain hut, 1311 m. It wasn't easy, but we made it and after 50 kilometers we also gained around 2000 height meters. We finished the day with a descent straight back home.
