We had psyched ourselves up for today’s hike as on paper it looked to be one of our toughest at 18kms with over 1000m elevation and 1200m decent. We were also carrying a little extra food as our next stop didn’t have a supermarket or a restaurant. Our host from last night had pretty muchContinue reading “Day 26 Juliana Trail (Podbrdo to Grahovo Ob Baci)”

Since Bled we had been in a relatively busy part of Slovenia, or probably more accurately an area more popular with tourists. The next (and last) stage of the Juliana trail was going to take us down a quieter valley back towards Tolmin it was really just starting to dawn on us that we reallyContinue reading “Day 25 Juliana Trail (Bohinjska Bistrica to Podbrdo)”

We were staying two nights in Stara Fuzina to complete our last side trip which should have been a 20km round trip around Lake Bohinji with a hike up to see a waterfall. Unfortunately we awoke to torrential rain and low lying clouds and didn’t even set foot out of the apartment until lunch whenContinue reading “Day 23 & 24 Juliana trail (Stara Fuzina to Bohinjska Bistrica)”

The day started brightly all sunshine and no rain and the day ahead of us was mostly gentle downhill with one steep section.  The hardest part was that it was another 20km plus day and while we were getting used to the long days they do start taking their toll.  We were still fresh fromContinue reading “Day 22 Juliana trail (Goreljek Na Pokljuki to Stara Fuzina)”

We had been watching the weather forecast while in Bled quite closely as our first day out of Bled was looking like we were going to be hiking over 20kms in torrential rain.  Needless to say when we awoke it was cold and miserable and raining quite heavily but after delaying until about 9.30am weContinue reading “Day 21 Juliana Trail (Bled to Goreljek Na Pokljuki)”

Having stopped in Radovljica for an extra break we only had about 8km walk from there to Bled and it was flat and once again through fields and villages and really quite pleasant.  Our arrival in Bled was in sunshine and we decided to head straight for the lake and we were both really impressedContinue reading “Days 18, 19, 20 Juliana Trail (Bled)”

Today was the start of our mini holiday within the hike. We had a very flat 7kms to walk to Radovljica and a rest day after. After that we have another easy walk and three days in Bled hence the mini holiday feel of this days walk. It was another beautiful sunny day and weContinue reading “Day 16 and 17 Juliana Trail (Begunje to Radovljica)”

Today’s walk was meant to be about 17km (ended up being 20km) along a valley towards Begunje. It was relatively flat and we began by walking through the industrial town of Jesenice which wasn’t the most scenic of routes we have taken but I guess it’s something that is always going to happen on aContinue reading “Day 15 Juliana Trail (Jesenice to Begunje)”

We were pretty happy that we had changed our plans and not stayed in Mojstrana for two nights as it turns out our room was a sweat box with windows that didn’t open. So we were up early and out the door as we had a big day with a climb to do in theContinue reading “Day 14 Juliana trail (Mojstrana to Jesenice)”
