Jesenice

This weekend we went hiking in Jesenice - Hruški vrh 1 776m and Dovška Baba 1 891m. Our crew was Finno-Ugric: Balázs and Judit from Hungary and me as a Finn.

On the morning we arrived to the train station of Jesenice, bought some food from the market and continued the way to the start of a walking path called Stara Rudna pot. On this summer my Hungarian friends participated in a working camp there, cleaning the path and streams, digging ways for water to flow down.
On Jesenice train station we also saw an old steam train - wow! 
 
Jesenice is located on the border of Austria and Slovenia, so a part of the way we were walking in Austria's side. So, hehe, now I can say that I've been in Austria. Or even better, hiking in Austria ;-)

This is Austriaaaaa!
 
On this hike we reached two peaks - Hruški vrh 1 776m and Dovška Baba 1 891m on the Karawanken Alps.


On the border there is just a small, broken fence... And a great view!

On the way down we stopped by a hut (unfortunately it wasn't open) for a lunch which we had with us
On the way down it was already getting quite late, so we missed the last bus to Ljubljana. But no worries - hitchhiking was successful and we got to a train station of Lesce-Bled and caught the last train.

Mali Golak part 2

On Sunday we went hiking on Mali Golak for the second time. Previous one was around April, when there was still plenty of snow and the weather was so foggy that we didn't see further than 5 metres on the top! Now we were luckier, on the morning the weather was a bit rainy but sky got quite clear while we were walking up so the view was great! It was possible to see all the way till the sea. It was only a bit shame that we didn't see the Alps properly - there were a bit more clouds on that direction.





As also on the previous time, we started from Predmeja. This time we chose a different way up, but went back the way which goes by the cottage.
