31.18 Slovenia: Vitranc, a mountain peak above the ski slopes in Kranjska Gora.

A rather steep and fairly tough climb of 3,000 feet along and above the ski slopes of this famous region. Apparently, world championship competitions are held on these slopes. Fortunately, no snow was encountered but it certainly was a challenge. Upon arriving at what appears to be a summit, the hiker has a further forty minutes of walking up-and-down to reach the very small and exposed peak.



En route to the top, a quick look at a village below. The mountain in the background is in Austria.




The first and only view of the surrounding mountains taken from the small peak.




The following day, Jenni walks at the lake in the town. See picture below.




Telephoto lens shows the same lake from 3,000 feet higher and a few miles distant.

High-noon in the village of Kobarid; we enter and everyone leaves.
