HIKING - PART 1.png

Today me and @urskaskamen woke up to the beautiful sight of sunshine. We hadnt planned to go hiking today, because it is New Years Eve and we were feeling to lazy., but we simply couldnt resist the sunshine which is pretty rare in this part of the year in Slovenia.

Without previous plans we decided to go hike a nearby hill with the name Resevna (682 m). It has a lookout tower on the top of the hill so we expected to see some spectacular sights of the local hills and valleys.

We started our hike in a narrow valley near where Urška lives.

The path was just a little snowy but nothing special. We walked along a creek. Urška said that she hiked here before so I trusted here with finding the correct path. Well. I was wrong... :)

She forgot if we had to cross the creek so we did it, which resulted in a very pretty picture.

It was not very wide but we still didnt want to get our feet wet so we had to skip on some rocks. Good luck for us we got some practice in crossing a creek the first time because we had to cross it once more, when we saw the path on the other side of the creek. :) Urška was wrong but hey... It happens.

After exiting the valley we got onto a road that lead through some outcropings of houses.

After passing the houses we once again entered the forest. The path was very muddy in places and very slippery. But still the hiking was pretty nice, with the sun shining through the branches of the bare trees and through the branches of the pines, which are a rare sight in this part Slovenia.

The terrain soon leveled off which was very good for our lungs. The hill was very steep from the road on.

We once again meet the road from earlier that leads to the mountain lodge on the top of Resevna. We decided we would stick to the steep hiking path and we would return along the road. The path was once again muddy. The roots of the trees were covered with snow which forced us to go slowly so we wouldnt slip and fall. We soon set our eyes on the 20 m high lookout tower on the top of Resevna which you can see through the trees if you look carefully.

The hike was full of magnificent views along the path. The end on the lookout tower was just the cherry on the cake.

Thanks to Urška we also did the mandatory selfie.
