Euro Day 28 - Even more Bohinj

Today I skipped an early run as I didn't sleep all that well and I was feeling pretty weary from the kayak day. Jon went out for a lap of the lake then a quick swim - still no photos though. But imagine something idyllic and that's it.  Here's a photo I took while he was out running:

After a leisurely breakfast (including croissants from the camping site's daily bread delivery), we drove 10 minutes to the start of the Mostnica Gorge hike.  This was an 11k loop trail which took us up the Voje valley on a mixture of trail and gravel road. Part of it was next to an impressively deep gorge with the usual blue-green water.  The deep bits were hard to photograph - here are some of the shallower parts.

Part of the route was through delightful Slovenian country side, and we passed a couple of cafes on the way both busy with hikers and bikers. I can't say the advertised offerings of Sour Milk, Buckwheat Grouts, Goulash, Sauerkraut or Curd with Potatoes appealed to me much. I would have been stuck with the only normalish sounding dish - mushroom risotto!

Anyway the waterfall at the end our our journey wasn't all that impressive, in fact the gorge and countryside were actually better drawcards. It was still pleasant enough though.

Back at our campsite I still had some energy to explore so Jon and I set out on a hike to another waterfall, right up in the corner of the glacial valley that Lake Bohinj lies in. 

It was another nice walk, although we did have to roll under some electric fences and follow the map pretty well to get there.  Luckily the way back was more straight forward.

The waterfall was Slovenia's most visited apparently.  We were there around 4pm so it wasn't all that busy. It was a nice waterfall though and well worth the 2 ish hour round trip to see it. (We could have driven most of it, but that would have been boring!). There are lots of beautiful looking summer houses and small farms all around us. These horses have it pretty good.

Tomorrow we leave Slovenia. We'll be sorry to do so, as it's been great - we've loved lots of things about it.  Each morning the NZ rowing team spend a few hours rowing up and down the lake. It's easy to see why - flat water, cheap prices! Some of the girls happened to be at the pizza place we were at tonight. They all had very impressive arm muscles!

Anyway - tomorrow.. Austria!
