Velika Planina Hike Part 2

All the photos of the mountains and the huts! After lunch it was nice as the sun started to come out and it cleared up some and by the time we were back to the car it was warm again! Not super hot like yesterday, but tshirt weather. On our way to camp we stopped by the side of the road to spy on Igla - The Needle - a national monument rock separated from the main wall by a narrow gap which they thought looked like a needle hence the name.

The last 4 photos are from camp - the first two on a small wander and the last two the views from our camping spot! It is pretty nice, but once the sun started going behind the mountains it started getting cold even though it was only like 4pm! It is so damp that it made it colder and we had to go inside and snuggle up in the blankets! I did come back outside with my warm jacket on for dinner and it doesn’t feel too bad, doesn’t feel as damp as it was, so I am sitting outside enjoying the view until it gets too dark or too cold again.

There was also an ultramarathon on there road we came in to camp on today and we had passed the last runner on the way here (we passed the car following him at the end) and in the third to last photo he is actually there on the road still running along! When we passed him he didn’t look like he was doing that well, but he looked to be doing alright by the time he got here so that was fun. I just looked it up and there were 5 starting points depending on how far you wanted to go - from 9km to 72km so he might have been running for quite a long time!

We got to camp early so had lots of relaxing time which was nice. It is really nice sitting and enjoying the mountains! Tomorrow we have a steep hike up the side of a mountain so we shall see how that goes! It should be gorgeous!Read more
