May 3, 2023,Mali Lipovec/Kroatien: auf den Japetić und zum Gasthof Žitnica und zurück

At 879 m, Japetić is the highest peak of the Samobor Mountains in the Žumberak-Samoborsko Gorje Nature Park. The observation tower takes you a few meters higher. However, the visibility did not reach very far this afternoon. At least it didn't rain.
