Slovenia: Birthday Hike

This year's birthday party was a bit different. I invited my family to join me on a hike over Prelaz Ljubelj and Povna peč to Vrh Ljubeljščice, which was our highest peak. We continued to Spodnji plot and Dom na Zelenici mountain hut, where we had some drinks and lunch. our trip was finished with a descent back to our starting point and then we drove home. Soon we had more food and a cake on the table and the day was slowly finished.
