Slovenia: MTB - Javornik with Prelaz Ljubelj in the morning

In the morning I took Bronco on a morning hike to Prelaz Ljubelj - Garmin Connect and then Nada and me were ready for our mountain bike trip. Our destination was mountain pasture Planina Javornik. The road led us from Grahovše to Potarje and then straight to the pasture. We descended to Dom pod Storžičem mountain hut, where we had a beer and then we just returned back to our starting point - Garmin Connect.

 

Along the way to Planina Javornik mountain pasture.

 

Planina Javornik is a picturesque alpine pasture located below Ženiklovec in the Karawanks mountain range.

Ivanščica is the highest mountain in northern Croatia, with its peak reaching an elevation of 1061 meters. It is part of the Zagorje region and is known for its lush forests, diverse flora and fauna, and numerous hiking trails. Nada, bronco and Nada visited it from Prigorec village and on top, where there is a mountain hut, we had a few drinks - Garmin Connect. When we returned back to our weekend house, we received a surprise visit from Rokly and Badžo and then we had a long evening, playing cards.

Many trails lead to the top and many of them are also suitable for mountain biking.

Welcome to Ivanščica.

Since it was 1st of May, a holiday, there was quite a lot of people at the summit.

 

Beer and Wild garlic.
