Slovenia: Kofce gora, Toplar and Veliki vrh

Once more Nada, Bronco and me decided to visit some nearby two-thousanders and this time also Ana joined us. We started the hike below mountain farm Matizovec and past Ravni we reached the Janez Krstnik chapel below Kofce. We continued to our first peak on Košuta ridge, Kofce gora, 1967 m. After a short beak we continued over Toplar, 2000 m, to Veliki vrh, 2088 m, the highest point of the day. On our way back we made a stop in Dom na Kofcah mountain hut and then we returned back home - Garmin Connect.

Below Kofce in a clearing in the middle of a grove stands the lovely chapel of St. John the Baptist.
