• Pohojre bike ride and Slap Skalca

    27 Temmuz 2024, Slovenya ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Today we RIDE! Rent e-bikes, take the cable car to the top, and we’re off!! There are supposed to be trails over the top of the mountains so let’s find them. We start going a little up and down, off onto grass, then back to shell rock. After a little too steep and rocky of a downhill (you can only squeeze the brakes so long) we decide to head towards paved roads.
    Minimal treacherous paths get to the road and we start flying downhill. As we pass a cute little house, it’s the name of a trail target Slovenska Kače! We stop for cappuccino and find out it’s a pizza place. Have to come back here later.
    Back down the road to find the Slap Skalčan aka Fram (or Skalča) Waterfall. There’s a small brook from the mountain which runs a small water wheel of undetermined purpose, then falls over a 12-14m (35-45 ft) drop with a number of other shorter falls later on. No challenge to Niagara but a pretty little spot in the forest. The steps down and up require strong legs and balance, looking quite treacherous for winter.
    Back to the road, and as we take the straightaway up to 50kph, we head back into Maribor and up to the house.
    Great morning and now we make up for abandoning Daisy (she who was left behind and didn’t appreciate it)
