Slovenia: Hiking, Paragliding, Geocaching and Mountain Biking around Zreče
Nada and me decided to spend the weekend around Zreče. Since the weather was still good on Saturday, we did many outdoor activities, while the rainy Sunday convinced us to visit the local spa resort. We both had an awesome weekend.
Start of the hike towards Waterfall Lindek.
Waterfall Lindek - Lindeški slap has height of 8-9 meters.

Poor shoes, dirty and wet.
Castle is mentioned in 1264 as Lindecke, in 1333 as castrum Lindekk, in 1335 as Lindek, in 1430 as Lyndekg and in 1441 as haus Lindegk. The name comes from the German word for linden tree, "die Linde", which is also stylized in coat-of-arms of Lindek.
The last resident on the castle was Franc Wolf in 1758. So nobody was home today.

Paraglider started to turn into the forest, but I successfully navigate it into the right direction.
 |
| Quick way down. |

We continued with geocaching. This one was Slovenian cache of the month.
Somewhere in the bunkers, deep underground.

| Maze. |
 |
| Another entrance. |
Drinking water with operating instructions.

| When nerds go outdoors. |
 |
| Maze in the maze. |
We were both caught on camera.
 |
| Window without an exit. We found it elsewhere and successfully found the cache. |
We continued to Rogla, where we had lunch on Koča na Pesku mountain hut.
Highest point of the day, Rogla observation tower, which is 30 meters high. At the top you are standing at the highest point of Pohorje.
 |
| Nada left me and I did a mountain bike trip from Rogla to Gorenje pri Zrečah. |
 |
| Autumn. |
 |
| Plenty of nice cycling roads. |
