Itinerary description

June 22, 2023.

And we left the "Hostel Lake Bled" at eight in the morning, leaving the keys at the left-luggage counter as the manager told us the day before, he told us that we could leave our backpacks at the entrance of the Hostel from the outside so that no one was going to touch anything, which surprised us as we are used to Spain, we didn't see a window with bars and we saw many open doors, Slovenia does not seem like a Mediterranean country, but we decided not to do it so as not to have to come back because we had rented a car for 6:00 p.m. hours and the place where the car was received was very far from the Hostel and then we had until seven in the evening to get to the shelter without having our reservation canceled and we were just going.
We went into a supermarket to have a smoothie and some milk without stopping, we wanted to go up to the castle and then go to the Vintgar gorge, all without using buses or other means of transport, we like to sweat dinner but they promised up to 36 degrees of temperature which with the high humidity is quite hot.
We continue through the streets of Bled until we reach the lake again.
And from here we went up to the castle, at the door we decided not to enter, 15 euros for entry was excessively expensive for the short visit we wanted to make, because we did not want the heat to catch us outside the gorge so without stopping we continued through the streets of Bled in search of the gorge, and its coolness...
At quarter past ten in the morning we started queuing at the ticket office of the gorge, for about ten euros we would have access to the walkways that would put us on the water, but without getting wet.

And we crossed the gorge filled with the freshness of the water and the curves of the river that twisted anxiously among the limestone of the mountain.


The truth is that we found the gorge beautiful, although too touristy and frequented for our rude mountaineering tastes, we would describe it as pleasant and picturesque, I would see myself more in a neoprene suit going down the river than on the tourist footbridges.

We left the gorge two hours after, waiting for the train to pass over it and loitering because it was very hot outside, but we continued through a closed forest to a hermitage where there was a picnic area to stop in the fresh air.
We go to the town of Zasip and there we have another beer with its ration, it's two in the afternoon and we don't have the car until six, we have to spend time escaping the heat.

We arrive at a quarter past five in the afternoon to the delivery point of the car, but they tell us that it will not arrive until six, in the end they arrive at a quarter past six, we make the contract, we pay 180 euros for two days plus a retention of 200 euros as a deposit, and we leave in our Fiat Punto for the mountains again, we get tired of civilization.
César takes the wheel, we will not have to pay tolls, they are included in the rent, and we go to the province of Jesenice where we climb a tortuous mountain pass, Vrsic pass, surely a training place for the brave Slovenian cyclists, which is closed in winter due to snow, and we stand in the Erjavceva refuge…
The Erjavceva refuge is located between very high mountains of the Julian Alps but it is totally new and with many amenities, it looks more like a hotel than a refuge.

And we celebrate dinner with craft beer, outdoors surrounded by mountains and forests, hard to forget.

Tomorrow we will see if the storms from the early hours of the morning allow us to do a route, it is another story…
