Traditional Slovenian drinks from the four regions of Slovenia. After the tour some crazy photos were taken.
The next day was not a walk throe the park, but a walk over the mountain called Velika Planina. For the people who were full of energy the previous day had some difficulties with the walk. At first we jumped on a bus that took us to Terme Snovik. That is an Eco spa that heats up the houses and water with organic pellets. We saw how the whole system works and we watched a video about this eco fuel made from old wood, which can’t be used for building material. The Lithuanian group was much exited when they saw a Lithuanian guy explaining how he invented that way of heating up houses.
After the short tour of Snovik the bus took us to a high parking place in the middle of the mountain and left us there. Luckily everybody got a bottle of water which was priceless on the mountain in the hot sun. On Velika planina we saw haw the traditional shepherd houses were build and had some close but friendly contact with the cows ;)
We also visited a cave or VrtaÄŤa, that still had snow inside in the middle of summer - nice. The looong hot walk was finally over when we came to Zeleni rob, were we had lunch. After a brake we went to the highest pick of Velika planina at 1612 m, to be baptized as true climbers. That experience was more painful for some than others.
The walk down was very relaxing and nice. The sun was shining, we were enjoying the nice view ant easily floating down the mountain. For the grand finale we took the cable car down the mountain which was very exciting for everybody. After a few minutes we "landed" directly in our E-nature camp and we fell in our tents and relaaaaaxed.
At 20.00 it was time for the Slovenian evening, but that will be covered in the next blog poste...
