Slovenia

After riding over that b$%¿h of a pass called Wurzenpass we made it into Slovenia! This place was beautiful. We spent the first night in a town called Bled which sits on a beautiful lake. The camping ground was very touristy but at least it had free WiFi. We hung here for a night, but then decided to move on. We planned to get further into the Julian Alps, in the Bohinjska National Park.

So the next day was a fairly short 35km day to Bohinjsko Jezero which is a bigger lake in the Bohinjsko reserve. We ended up staying 3 nights there because it was just so amazingly beautiful. Lots of outdoor activities to do and we had a great quiet campsite in the forest at the edge of the lake. So the hot days were filled with swims, hiking, riding, and resting.

On one of our rest days we went up in the cable car to the Vogel Mountain area, where we did a lovely little 5 hour hike to the top of Mt Vogel. Here´s a view of the Julian Alps from the cable car as we went up. It was cool.

Up the cable car. Our campsite was tucked in the trees in that green lump you can see at the bottom edge of the lake.

After a good few rest days, we heaed out of Bohinjsko National Park and took 2 days riding some beautiful, and some not so beautiful and in fact terribly busy, roads till we got to Croatia.
