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)”

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)”

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)”

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.

We got up ready and rearing to go full of energy and excitement. It helped that last night we ate dinner at our guest house and were absolutely blown away by the quality of food and service. Luckily we are staying at the same place on the way back so the prize of eating atContinue reading “Day 1 Juliana Trail (Nova Gorica to Smartno)”

As the Juliana Trail was only officially opened in 2019 I couldn’t have heard of it that long ago but I do remember being enchanted by the idea of being able to explore a country by foot and this hike was meant to take us around a beautiful part of Slovenia where we would stayContinue reading “Juliana Trail The Beginning”
