Lake Jasna

Wow. What?! Slovenia you've done it again
Ruska Kapelica

Some pictures from the descent. It didn't take very long at all; I guess it really helps when it's downhill the whole way! At the bottom you emerge in a river bed with incredible views of the TriglavLeia mais
Slemenova Spica

What a morning to be a human on planet Earth
Erjavceva Mountain Hut

What a treat, I have my own little mountain cubby hole! I've now rocketed up to over 1500m but sadly it's quite cloudy on the peaks, so hikes to the viewpoints I had planned might have to wait untilLeia mais
Source of the Soca River

And here we are, it's a sad goodbye to the Soca river; its source just as incredible as the rest of it. A shimmy along the rocks takes you to a luminescent blue spring in an enchanting cave.

Kamp Triglav

In spite of my numbheadedness in not realising every supermarket would be closed on a Sunday, I've made it to Kamp Triglav, on nothing other than a pack of tower gate's finest digestiveLeia mais
Great Soca Gorge

The ground just opens up and the Soca twists and torrents beneath the surface.
Soca

Soca is just a dispersed settlement throughout this particular valley, but it feels like a good name to whack down a footprint from this morning, which has been so good! It's so so much easier hikingLeia mais
Bovec

Much of today was spent in Bovec (pronounced Bovetz). It was nice to have a relaxed day and only cough up mild quantities of phlegm. I even then got back in time to see the mighty Bournemouth win theLeia mais
Slap Virje

The weather finally broke! And thank goodness too, it was great to feel the pitter patter of grey matter (that is a brilliant jokette). But seriously, from all the countries I've visited lately, youLeia mais

Srpenica

After a lengthy but enjoyable time walking along the river, I decided to call it a day at Srpenica. Not long after the bus was delayed (it is the Balkans after all), I quickly found a ride into BovecLeia mais
Trnovo ob Soci

Truth be told, I didn't quite go into Trnovo, I just needed a name for this footprint. I've been following the Juliana trail today, which undulates along the banks of the Soca for its entirety. It'sLeia mais
Slap Kozjak

After an uncomfortable night with illness, I made my way to a pharmacy and popped some pills this morning. My day had hardly got started when I stepped out onto the trail and was quickly reminded ofLeia mais
Kobarid

Wow Kobarid is an incredibly beautiful place; England just doesn't compare. It's hard to believe that 12 battles took place here in 29 months during World War One, as well as the town hosting the siteLeia mais
Hostel Kobarid

Without a doubt the most luxurious hostel I will ever stay at.
Libusnje

Vrsno

Following Krn, I decided to switch onto the E7 European long distance path, which actually extends the entire way from Portugal to Serbia. Hopefully I'll remember to turn off, otherwise the nextLeia mais
Krn

So far today I've been following a stage of the Alpe Adria trail, which actually stretches from Austria's highest peak, Grossglockner, all the way to the Adriatic. On the ascent up to the firstLeia mais
Camp Gabrje

This place is a big campsite, seemingly really popular with paragliders and adventurers alike. Been a really great first day, very relaxed!

Tolmin

Tolmin Gorges

After sinking 8 ice lollies and like a kilogram of grapes in Tolmin, I enjoyed the 'nature' along the Tolminka river as I made my way to Tolmin Gorges. My first time back in Triglav national park inLeia mais
Sotocje Tolminke in Soce

How is it even possible for a river be this colour?! From the first of what I anticipate will be many swims, the temperature is refreshingly cold, but thankfully not Valbonë freezing
Most na Soci

Ok ok, I know I already put a footprint here but seeing it in the day is different. Good thing I didn't plan to go far today, because I can't seem to go more than a few steps without stopping to takeLeia mais
