Our day started with a steep 500m climb to the top of the ridge with clear views through the valley.

This path was much longer and more challenging than expected and culminated in a frantic (and not very graceful) backpack sprint for the train. The host of the homestay apartment, Danica, gave us the most beautiful welcome and we enjoyed a memorable night (along with our fellow hikers Anita and Dietmar) around the table with a delicious homecooked meal + beers + local wine + liquor + slivovitz. Needless to say, we all slept well!Read more
