Croatia: Kuna gora


On our last vacation day, Nada and me cleaned up the weekend house and then we headed towards the new hill called Kuna gora. We drove all the way to the mountain hut, and from there we had an easy hike to the top, called Bukovski vrh, 521 m. After we signed the logbook, we returned back to the mountain hut, where I prepared my glider and I flew down to Pregrada. Nada picked me up and we just returned back to Slovenia, picked up a geocache and returned back home. End of vacation in Hrvatsko Zagorje.

In less than 1 hour, we were back at our starting point - Garmin Connect.

Preparing the glider for the first flight in Croatia.

 
Nice take off site and wind in the right direction meant only one thing, a quick launch without a lot of running.

I ended nice and short flight on a nearby meadow - Garmin Connect.

 
On our way back home we visited the Iron Lady, belonging to JŽ 53 series, that was created in 1927 in Austria as the BBÖ 378 series.
