Slovenia: Toško Čelo, Šmarna gora and Rašica

It wasn't a beautiful day, still I decided to do some mountain biking near Ljubljana. My plan was to conquer three very popular peaks, Toško Čelo, Šmarna gora and Rašica. Although they are not that high, conquering all of them required quite a lot of energy.

The suspension bridge linking villages Medno and Vikrče was designed by engineer Stanko Dimnik and built in 1934.

Bridge eased crossing of the Sava river for inhabitants of Vikrče and Medno and many tourists coming from Medno railway station to visit Šmarna gora. Until then all the river crossings were made by boat or small ferry. At first, until 1941, there was a toll to pay for crossing the bridge. A small toll shed was standing at the entrance to the bridge from Medno.

 

At top of Šmarna gora, 669 m, I rang the bell 3 times for 3 wishes to come true, had lunch and continued to the last peak of the day, Rašica, 641 m.

I continued towards Voklo, where Nada picked me up
