This is just a short video which shows some scenes on the summit in beautiful weather.
Some hikers went up there to spend the New Year's Eve in the mountain hut on top, but we returned to the trailhead and drove back home.

77) Uršlja gora - 31/Dec/2016
Uršlja gora (1699m) is not too far from our home, and it's a lovely hike, so we decided to go there on the last day of the year.
This is just a short video which shows some scenes on the summit in beautiful weather.

76) Velika Planina - 26/Dec/2016
Velika Planina is a very popular spot, known for the traditional shepherd huts.
The huts can be rented, and the owners offer fresh milk products.
In the warmer months, cowbells are ringing everywhere - but the cows don't stay up here in winter.
They are taken to lowlands in the end of September.
Our three dogs had great fun running about in the beautiful setting.
Velika Planina is right on the edge of the mountain range named Kamniške Alpe, so the views are quite beautiful.
Ljubljana basin can be seen in the south, and much of Slovenia is visible when the skies are clear.
The highest peaks in Kamniške Alpe, which are towering in the north, provide a very beautiful backdrop.

75) Smrekovec - 24/Dec/2016
This short video shows us fooling around on the summit of Smrekovec (1577m).
Smrekovec is of volcanic origin, and is therefore quite different from the mountains in Slovenian Alps which are mostly composed of limestone.
A nice hut named Dom na Smrekovcu (1375m) is located at the base of Smrekovec, and is a very popular destination for family trips and hikes.

74) Peca - 17/Dec/2016
We climbed Peca (2125m) several times before, and it is always a wonderful hike.
It's a very popular peak, but we hardly met anyone on our hike, and we were at the summit alone.
The video begins at a mountain hut named Dom na Peci (1665m).
I took the relatively demanding climbing route, while others went up the easier hiking trail.
We met at the summit and spent some time there, taking in the views across Slovenia and Austria.
Peca is right on the border between the two countries.
On the way down, we visited Matjaž cave with the statue of sleeping King Matjaž.

73) Velika Zelenica - 10/Dec/2016
This video shows a winter hike to the summit of Velika Zelenica (2114m).
The mountain should have been covered under a thick blanket of snow, but we had T-shirt weather in December.
Our hike began at Planina Ravne (1500m), and it took us about two hours to reach the summit.
The views on the summit are quite wonderful: the neighbouring Ojstrica (2350m) looks particularly impressive.
