Afterwork hikes to Šmarna and Rašica in Ljubljana are great, but we have really missed a proper day hike in the mountains and were very excited when we finally parked our car in Tolminske Ravne. Path through the woods to the Planina Razor was quickly behind us, so we continued to the summit of Vogel mountain and hiked the ridge to Globoko Predel …

Windy.
Hills around our Vipava Valley may not be as high as the Alps or the Karawanks, but they continue to impress me every time I hike up there. On a bright sunny day, the views over the Valley are beautiful and Saturday afternoon looked just like that – it was windy and the sky was so clear. We hiked to Kucelj via Srednječavenska path …
Stop and stare.
About a week ago, skies finally blessed us with first snow this season. Growing up in Vipava Valley, in winters we could only observe snowy hills around the Valley and bagged parents to take us sledding “up there” after school. I guess that’s why I still long for snow so much and am looking forward to it every year. So when I was visiting my hometown last weekend …
Debela pec & Brda
This January has been very generous with sunny weather, the only thing we’re missing is snow – I’m crossing my fingers for some snowflakes by the end of the month. We visited the Julian Alps on Sunday, as we have yet to discover many of its beautiful corners. We usually prefer visiting Karawanks and K. S. Alps because driving to the starting points will take less time (read …
Perfect start of 2019!
It felt like a blink of an eye and 2018 was all over. It’s been one crazy busy year hence this hobby blog of mine didn’t get much attention. However, I’m happy to be writing again after a while, I enjoy it and I missed it. I can’t say how things will roll, but I want to keep it up and a New Year seems like a great starting point for a fresh new post …
Canyon Gorropu
This spectacular canyon wasn’t really in our plans – but after all the hiking on West, we quickly figured that Sardinia has more to offer than just turquoise clear blue seas. And as we are currently staying so close to the National Park of Orosei and Gennargentu, we simply had to see what it has to offer. We started our hike at Genna Silana pass …
Sunny start of the holidays.
Long holiday weekend is here and we’re so excited about all the food and family time that’s planned for the next days. Besides baking Christmas cookies and wrapping gifts, we started Saturday with a super sunny and quite warm hike to Nanos. It was so lovely. There was a lot of snow up on the plateau about two weeks ago but since then …
Why do we do it?
When the alarm goes off at 7am, of course I’m not excited to wake up. What follows is a lot of yawning, eating breakfast half asleep, gathering all the equipment, googling directions to our starting point – and before I know it, we’re already hiking our way up. It gets easier when your heart is starting to pump and your body warms up …
Hiking in first snow.
Snow is here and winter fun can begin! The plan for the weekend was to hike to Raduha and from our starting point Kosmaceve Rastke to the Lodge Koca na Loki everything went great. We were hiking above the clouds, enjoying sun and snow and having a lot of fun. After a quick coffee, without thinking much, we went ahead …
Feeling small.
We knew we wanted to explore some more of the amazing Karawanks mountain range last time we were around here. The view over the part of the range with summits Gubno and Kepa impressed us enough to return in two weeks time already! Both being 2.000 + m alt summits one next to another on the chain, we decided for Gubno …
