Mount Blegos
Slovenia
1.00 pm - Here we take a longer rest, to take in all the beautiful mountain views and fresh air. If there is will and energy, we can walk to the top of Mount Blegos (cca 20min hike) and enjoy the marvellous view of the hills of Skofja Loka, the Julian and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, and the Karavanks. If the weather is kind enough, we might even catch a glimpse of the Adriatic Sea.
