Velika Planina

Today started early — very early 😄

Packing bags, loading the car, grabbing breakfast sandwiches, checking out of the hotel… the whole operation ran like a well-oiled machine because we absolutely had to catch the hourly gondola up to Velika Planina.

First gondola. Then chairlift. And finally: the high alpine plateau itself.

The hike up there was absolutely magical. Tiny shepherd villages scattered across rolling mountain meadows, little churches, fences, flowers everywhere, butterflies drifting through the air, and those unbelievably cute traditional huts.

We were slightly early in the season, so the shepherds and cows hadn’t arrived yet — but the spring flowers made the landscape feel even more idyllic.

After about 7 km and three hours of hiking, we eventually returned to the chairlift tired, happy, and completely charmed by Velika Planina.Leggi altro
