Slovenia: Happy Birthday Rade
Nada's uncle Rade celebrated his birthday today at a gathering hosted by a friend on Vrhe. I decided to ride there by bicycle, and after nearly 90 kilometers in the saddle, I finally arrived - Garmin Connect. The day was filled with good food, drinks, and great company. In between the celebrations, some of us even climbed a nearby peak called Krvavica (Garmin Connect) to enjoy the views and stretch our legs. It was a wonderful day spent with family and friends, and a great excuse for a long bike ride. Happy Birthday, Rade!

Arrived.

| View on the way to Krvavica, 909 m. |
 |
| Summit. |
 |
| Although only 909 m high, it stands prominently above the surrounding hills because its slopes are very steep, especially on the western side. |
 |
| According to local legend, Veronika of Desenice was imprisoned in the tower of Ojstrica Castle above the Church of St. George in Tabor. Above Ojstrica lies Krvavica, whose summit is surrounded by cliffs ranging from 50 to 150 metres in height. According to legend, Veronika was pushed to her death from these cliffs. To this day, it is said that on moonlit nights she returns to sit on these rocks. It is after her tragic fate that the hill is said to have been named Krvavica. |
Happy birthday.
