Slovenia: Kršiše

While Nada and Bronco did a hike to Kršiše and Vodale a while ago, they lost a sign in book or better said, the book went over the cliff. Two weeks ago (16278) we tried to recover it with the rope, but the rope was too short. Six days ago (16286), Bronco and me found a way, that lead us below the cliff and we found the book, but since it was wet, we took it home to dry it and today we finally returned it - Garmin Connect. The logbook saga is therefore finished.

The sign in book is back on Vodale.

 

We recounted the entries from the temporary book.

Bronco, please look at the camera.

Nada, Bronco and Tuši.

 

We set up the Christmas tree in the evening and we equipped it with some new stuff.

Slovenia: Morning on Dobrča

After the yesterday's party (16290) we woke up into a beautiful morning in the mountains. It was still early, when we left the house and we headed back home. Amazing, how the route today was different as yesterday, when we walked on the same path, just in the dark - Garmin Connect.

Here comes the Sun.

Our Triglav.

 

We left the hut before eight.

 

Great start of the day.

 

On and off track.

 

Back in our village Podljubelj.

Always the same, still always different view.

Slovenia: Geocaching

During the day, I took my dad to Laško to spa for rehabilitation, so I had some spare time on my way back. I decided to pick up some geocaches along the way.

Slovenia / Austria: Prelaz Ljubelj

Today we made another hike to Prelaz Ljubelj. We spiced up things a little, since we decided to go through the tunnel to Austria and then to the top of the pass. On the way back Bronco spiced things up for us, since he escaped from the leash and scared some people, while he was running around - Garmin Connect.

Bronco's first long tunnel.

Approaching the end of 1566 m long tunnel.

 

Exploring a piece of new path.

We made it to the top.

Slovenia: Ljubelj and Fair in Kovor

In the morning Nada, Bronco and me did a hike to Ljubelj, where we wanted to visit Lučka in a bar Šentančan, but it was closed. When we started hiking back home, we made a call and Rajko told us, that she is on her way, so we turned around. We had a tea and then we really went back home - Garmin Connect. In the evening, Nada attended a christmas fair in Kovor with her merino clothes, while I was just a visitor.

 

Bar Šentančan was closed, but we didn't give up.

After a while, we came back and Lučka welcomed us.

 

Bronco simply loves snow.

Christmas fair in Kovor had some nice activities.

Country Ritem dancing session.

Slovenia: Kršiše

While Nada and Bronco did a hike to Kršiše and Vodale a while ago, they lost a sign in book or better said, the book went over the cliff. Today we took the rope and a climbing harness and we tried to recover it. No luck this time, the rope was simply too short, so we will come back soon - Garmin Connect.

Slovenia: Dobrča & Šentanski vrh

This Saturday, Nada, Bronco and me decided to hike to Dobrča and its neighboring peak Šentanski vrh, that is 1 m higher and stands at 1635 m above sea level. Fog in the valley and sunny atmosphere in the mountains were the highlights of the day.

 

Half way up towards mountain pasture Lešanska planina, 1450 m.

Lešanska planina was resting.

View over the pasture to Storžič.

With Bronco on top of Dobrča.

Šentanski vrh offers amazing views to all directions. Here we can see Julian Alps.

Stol, the highest peak of the Karawanks and Begunjščica.

At 10 kilometers long the Košuta ridge is Slovenia's longest mountain.

And view to the South with Nada and Bronco.

Posing at the summit.

Always necessary selfie.

Panorama from the top.

 

Slowly we returned back to the foggy valley - Garmin Connect.
