Here is the first part of our second day as an addendum, as my Garmin watch, for whatever reason, did not transfer the tour to Komoot. We walked the first 8 kilometers the day before. At first it was slightly uphill until we reached the hut on the top of the Jimanec. Luckily it was open so early in the

On the fifth day we only planned a short stop in the small town of Idrija, as we had booked an apartment and wanted to take a half-day break. Idrija was a centre of mercury mining for centuries until the 1990s. The route there soon led us steeply down into the valley of the river of the same name. After

We found a good place to camp and set up our mobile home with the first drops of rain. Fortunately, the first drops stayed and we will soon be able to cook in the dry.

Unfortunately, it wasn't, and we didn't have much to eat. Luckily, a gas station on the outskirts of town

In the evening we walked the first few kilometers of the third stage. After a cold drink we started at the Skocje caves, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and were able to look down the rock walls and deep into the doline, where the Reka river flows out of a cave below, only to disappear into another

On the first day, we continued on the second stage through the beautiful Val Rosandra with its waterfall up to the plains of the karst terrain. After a tough climb, we followed the cycle path on a railway line for a few kilometers and passed through several tunnels. On one of them there was a sign saying

The way out of Idrija initially went steeply uphill for almost 600 meters on a narrow path in a beautiful forest and we were repeatedly rewarded with beautiful views. The sky kept clearing up and the sun shone up above. We passed several farms and small settlements. We had a beautiful panoramic view
