Slovenia: Morning hike to BSS, Film Under The Stars

BSS meaning Bivak Stebrasta skala (Bivouac Pillar rock) is a bivouac made by Alojzij Žakelj, just above Jesenice. He is rather an interesting person, who loves mountains more than anything else. You can check his life story in a movie called Blue is the Sky.

Grega, Rok, Nada and me started with this hike at 4:00 a.m. After 45 minutes, while city was still sleeping, we were already at the top.

Posing near bivouac.

The bivouac is rather small, but there is a quite a lot of space just below it. Although some may not like the colours, they have a meaning. Red is the colour of passage, it is a signpost. Blue is the colour of the sky, grey for the rocks and yellow is colour of light.

This was a small section of the hardest part.

Quick morning hike, that we were planning for more than a year

After work Nada and me went to see another movie under the stars on Ljubljana Castle.

Ticket for the film Belye nochi pochtalona Alekseya Tryapitsyna (The Postman's White Nights).  It tells the story of the people of a remote Russian village, whose main contact with the outside world is a postman.
