Slovenia: Flying from Mangart Saddle

Our vacation near Nadiža river ended and for the last day we decided to drive to Mangart Saddle via highest road in Slovenia - Mangart Road. From the saddle, Rok and me used our gliders and we flew back to the valley, to Log pod Mangartom, while Ana and Nada decided to enjoy the view on the top and pick some flowers for the tea. After the nice flight we all regrouped in Kranjska Gora.

Great sunny day.

View to Jalovec. 

Plenty of space on the take off site, still we were standing on the top of steep rock face.

View towards Loška Koritnica, a picturesque valley in the Triglav National Park.
