28. + 29. August 2025 After Štanjel, we slowly made our way toward Ljubljana. We had, at times, been a bit unlucky with eating options. Traditional restaurants here are called gostilna—but they were always closed, or located where we weren’t hungry at the time. But then we finally had some luck! We found … Continue reading Ljubljana – Tourists fuck off Read more
27. August 2025 Slovenians can be quite the jokers sometimes – we puzzled over this sign for a long time until we realized that the rain cloud had been mounted upside down.

26. August 2025 Our next destination was Štanjel, a very special place. On the way, we stopped in Vipava. The area has quite a bit of history. In the year 394, the Eastern Roman ruler (Theodosius) and the Western Roman ruler (Eugenius) were at war. Theodosius attacked Eugenius’s army but was defeated. The … Continue reading Vipava + Štanjel – The naked man who gave us pears as a gift Read more
25. August 2025 In the morning, we learned about the unique location of the place: we were above the clouds! And for quite a while, too. And the following morning as well. That’s really great! We still wanted to head down into the valley, though, and had picked the small town of … Continue reading Idrija – Not enough lunch, too much museum and a brave girl Read more
24. August 2025 3,5 km 0 m up 510 m down 1:30 hrs. According to Mapy this was our last stage. Kosijev Dom functions more as an excursion inn than an overnight hut. It is easily accessible from the lower holiday resorts and, in addition to tasty food, offers a viewpoint over Lake … Continue reading Kosijev Dom -> Bohinj Lake -> Car -> Jazne – The End and the Beginning Read more

22. August 2025 7,5 km 405 m up 880 m down 4:10 hrs. said Mapy. And the weather forecast? It promised only a little rain today and even some sunshine.

21. August 2025 4,6 km 430 m up 80 m down 2:10 hrs. Mapy says this about today. The weather forecast predicted heavy, continuous rain, later even with thunderstorms.

20. August 2025 8,1 km 585 m up 100 m down 3:15 hrs. This is, what Mapy says to the actual hiking day.. We first drove to Rudno Polje.

Rudno Polje belongs to Pokljuka (or the other way around … Continue reading Rudno Polje -> Vodnikov Dom – too many clouds, too many people, too many stones Read more
18. + 19. August 2025 It’s really amazing how close Slovenia is! Hardly had we crossed the Austrian border, we were already at our destination—at least in terms of kilometers. In reality, though, we were stuck in traffic. And we later learned: there’s always traffic there. And it’s really bad. Apparently, the town … Continue reading Bled – Petty, expensive and full of No-Gos Read more
