Slovenia: Hike & Fly - Begunjščica
Begunjščica is also great take off site for paragliders, so I convinced Nada to join me on a hike to the summit. We started from Ljubelj and over Dom na Zelenici mountain hut we conquered the peak of Begunjščica, 2060 m.
Hike with heavy backpack.
 |
| Our first stop was at Dom na Zelenici, 1536 m. |
 |
| We continued over the scree under Begunjščica. |
 |
| Some less known peaks North from Dom na Zelenici mountain hut. |
 |
| Continuing in direction West. |
 |
| Some of the peaks: Na Možeh, Vrh Ljubeljščice, Spodnji Plot, Košutica, Veliki vrh. |
In the area, where the sun don't shine in Winter time.
 |
| View to Vrtača. |
 |
| Smelling the Sun. |
 |
| Different world on the other side of the mountain. |
 |
| Sharing the sky with the birds. |
 |
| At the top of Begunjščica, 2060 m. |

| Nada and Tuši on top of Begunjščica. |
 |
| Enjoying the view. |
 |
| Vrtača, Zelenjak and Palec with Suho Ruševje. |
 |
| Towards the windy take off point. It became windy earlier as the weather forecast promised. |
 |
| Time for lunch. |
 |
| Checking the conditions. |
 |
| Setting up the glider. |
 |
| I gave up and decided to go to another point, hopefully with less turbulent wind. |
 |
| Towards Begunjska Vrtača. |
 |
| Conditions were much better. |
 |
| One by one people started launching. |
 |
| Some headed towards Radovljica, others towards Podljubelj. |
 |
| After 2nd attempt I was also airborne. |
 |
| Flying home. |
 |
| Above our house with the landing area. |
 |
| The village of Podljubelj. |
 |
| Above the main road leading to Austria. |
 |
| Saying hi to my neighbours. |
