Slovenia: Mountain Biking and Hiking under Košuta ridge

Nada organized a gathering with her friends on pasture Planina Pungrat, 1447 m. Everyone decided to come to the pasture by car, while I decided to do a little mountain biking. I arrived to Pungrat before noon and then I could rest on the sun for almost 2 hours, since people were late. After the lunch, we all did a hike to Šija. Soon we also did the return trip and it was time for goodbye. People drove back in their cars, while I continued with my Black Mamba.

Under Košuta Ridge

Being 10 kilometres long, the Košuta ridge, part of the Karawanks is Slovenia's longest mountain.

Kids enjoyed the nature

Do you think anyone wanted to step in the puddle?

Schoolmates Nika, Vesna and Nada

Košuta's numerous peaks and mountain pastures make it a paradise both for hikers and mountain bikers.

Even though we had a beautiful day, sometimes the conditions are not that friendly
