Triglavski Jezerih -> Kosijev Dom – Milkcoffee instead of Chai

260 m up

880 m down

said Mapy. And the weather forecast said: after 11:00 continuous rain…. So off we went quickly, grateful for every dry step! But before that, we took a little farewell photo with our new Czech friends:

 

 

Then we went first a bit along more lakes:

 

 

 

It became more humid and dark.

 

 

And then the rain began, with no chance for pictures. My jacket and plastic bag system held up, but it wasn’t exactly pleasant. With the stones and tree roots, we had to watch our step carefully—it was quite slippery. But we were lucky: the rain stopped again, and we could continue along a drier stretch.

 

 

 

 

We were back in the greenery, surrounded by nature, where there were animals and small huts. It seemed like you could stay in them for a while, but not actually live there

 

 

 

And then we actually reached a small hamlet with a few little houses. In one of them, there was a woman who ran a tiny inn and also rented out beds in a small hut. This would be the perfect place to stay overnight! And the best part was: just as we arrived, the next downpour began! So we quickly squeezed around a small table in her hut and had milkcoffee. For some reason, it reminded me of Indian Dhabas, and I would have loved to order a chai. But there wasn’t any. Still, I really, really liked it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that, luck was on our side, and the weather stayed stable—still damp, but no real rain anymore. The trail through the greenery was actually quite interesting, but toward the end, it felt like it went on forever, and I stopped taking pictures..

 

 

 

 

 

Due to the dampness, the descent was quite strenuous; we had to be very careful not to slip and tumble. Luckily, we managed well and reached the hut safely.

 

This hut was very different. Almost all the others from our previous hut descended straight into the valley and ended their hike. We had added one more hut so we could reach the car the following day.

 

This hut was accessible by car for the host and had hardly any guests. There was only one couple and one American family. But there was a warm shower! Admittedly with a water-saving reminder, but still wonderful! And there was mobile reception again. So after a tasty dinner, we sat clean and pleasantly scented with our phones and enjoyed the evening.

 

We also pondered how to get back to the car. We could hike down, but it didn’t seem very appealing. We could walk down and take one of the two daily buses. We could invest in a taxi. Or we could try hitchhiking, though the route didn’t seem very straightforward and was rarely driven.

 

Which option we chose—you’ll find out in the next blog post!
