Slovenia: Hike & Fly - Blegoš

Plan for today was to try a new take off site for paragliding, so Rok, Nada and me drove to Prtovč, from where we hiked to Koča na Blegošu mountain hut, 1391 m. It was a little bit windy, so we had a longer break in the hut. A little less than 3 hours of waiting was enough, so we continued to the top of Blegoš, 1562 m. We were not satisfied with the wind, so we decided to hike back to the valley, but when we started descending, we changed our minds, so we prepared the gliders and flew to the valley in Hotavlje.

Bad choice for a landing site - the nearby bar was closed, so we had to hitchhike
