Slovenia: Veliki vrh and Toplar


Every New Year's Day is a little different, and this one was no exception. Nada and I spent New Year's Eve at home, and the next morning we woke up early because we wanted to reach the summit of Veliki Vrh in time for sunrise. Of course, Bronco joined us as well. This year there wasn't much snow on the peaks, so the hike wasn't particularly demanding. We reached the summit just in time to watch the sun rise. After taking a few photos, we began our descent. First we conquered nearby Toplar, found a geocache and then on the way down, we met some friends, and we all stopped at the Dom na Kofcah mountain hut for a few drinks and a chat. After spending a wonderful day in the mountains, we returned to the valley about seven hours after setting out - Garmin Connect.

Yep, it will rise over the silhouette of Kamink-Savinja Alps.

On 2000 meters above sea level for sunrise for New Year.

Bronco explored the Western part of Košuta ridge, while we only admired Julian Alps and Western Karawanks.

Nada and Tuši.

Returning back to the valley.

Some of our friends had same intentions.

Typical lunch for new year back home. Sarma (stuffed leaves) time.
