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)”

Day 13 Juliana trail (Kranjska Gora to Mojstrana) The hotel we were staying at in Kranjska was huge and when we awoke we went down for our included breakfast and the dining room was heaving with activity. There were loads of people all dressed in hiking or biking gear and everyone was filling up gettingContinue reading
Day 12 Juliana Trail (Tarvisio to Kranjska Gora)
We headed out from Tarvisio centre and jumped on the old rail line which has been converted into a rail trail or bike path. We thought this was great as we were not on a road. After not having a great time yesterday I think we would have had serious thoughts of catching a taxiContinue reading “Day 12 Juliana Trail (Tarvisio to Kranjska Gora)”
Day 11 Juliana Trail (Log Pod Mangartom to Tarvisio)
Well today was a day of two halves (well a first bit and a second bit anyway). The day began early as we had another 20km day ahead of us with a 550m climb to start. Our first hurdle was trying to make breakfast oats using a tiny kettle and some powdered milk (due toContinue reading “Day 11 Juliana Trail (Log Pod Mangartom to Tarvisio)”
Day 9 & 10 Juliana Trail (Bovec rest day & Bovec to Log Pod Mangartom)
Our Bovec rest day was supposed to be a 22km hike to the Great Soca Gorge but we both woke up exhausted and not really in the mood for that length of side trip. Tim’s knee had also flared up a little and so using that as our excuse we instead spent the day loungingContinue reading “Day 9 & 10 Juliana Trail (Bovec rest day & Bovec to Log Pod Mangartom)”
Day 8 Juliana trail (Kobarid to Bovec)
Today’s hike was to be another fairly long one. The book stated 21km and 440m up and 220m down but somehow we have learned that the reality seems to be often somewhat longer than that and it ended up being 24km with 685m up and 440m down. I am sure we didn’t take any wrongContinue reading “Day 8 Juliana trail (Kobarid to Bovec)”
Day 7 Juliana Trail (Kobarid Rest Day)
I know it’s only week 1 of 4 but waking up in a bed with a short walk to a coffee machine and a cooked breakfast means the challenging walks seem easily manageable. Yes you wake up tired and with sore body parts but it doesn’t seem tough. I can remember parts of the LarapintaContinue reading “Day 7 Juliana Trail (Kobarid Rest Day)”
Day 6 Juliana Trail (Tolmin to Kobarid)
Today was our first day of hiking on the loop of the Juliana Trail. Up until now we had been doing a part that is known as the Brda extension but we were now beginning our way around the main loop so we will ultimately end up back in Tolmin after about another 270km (excludingContinue reading “Day 6 Juliana Trail (Tolmin to Kobarid)”
Day 5 Juliana Trail (Tolmin rest day)
When we were planning the trip we decided that we would take the time and do all the recommended side trips so we found ourselves waking up and not needing to get a move on. After yesterday’s effort both of us were pretty glad for it as our bodies were a little sore. Mostly ourContinue reading “Day 5 Juliana Trail (Tolmin rest day)”
Day 4 Juliana Trail (Kambreško to Tolmin)
As we have already mentioned briefly we didn’t officially make it to the end of the stage yesterday as the only place we could stay at there wasn’t open. So while that meant for a nice easy day yesterday our day today was going to be a little tougher. We were looking at 23km withContinue reading “Day 4 Juliana Trail (Kambreško to Tolmin)”
