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.

72) A hike from Robanov Kot to Korošica - 11/Sep/2016
Robanov Kot is a beautiful Alpine valley, just next to the more famous Logarska dolina.
The valley is off-limits to motorised traffic, you need to park your car near the entrance, and continue on foot.
So we did, and then we hiked all the way up to Korošica plateau, under the summit of Ojstrica.
It's a fun hike, with some steep parts when climbing up from the valley to the plateau.

71) Lake Bled - 02/Jul/2016
There's never enough of Lake Bled videos.
We spend a week in Bled each summer, and also visit often throughout the year.
This video shows a stroll around the lake with my son, and he also had some fun with his RC speedboat.

70) Mostnica gorge - 30/Jun/2016
After spending most of the day on the shore of Lake Bohinj, why not stretching your legs a bit?
Mostnica gorge is just nearby, just outside of Stara Fužina.
This gorge is about 2 km long, up to 20 meters deep, and in some places no more than one meter wide.
The river Mostnica has sculpted some amazing features in thousands of years, one of the most prominent is "The elephant".

69) A day out at Lake Bohinj - 30/Jun/2016
A relaxing day out on the shores of Lake Bohinj.
Swimming and chilling out in a beautiful setting.
Our kid played with his RC speedboat, and I swam across the lake to the other shore and back.

68) Vintgar gorge - 28/Jun/2016
Vintgar gorge gets quite a lot of visitors, because it's not far from Bled.
It does not take too long to hike from Bled to Vintgar.
With a car, it's just a few minutes drive.
The gorge is about a mile long, with near-vertical walls reaching up to 100 meters high.
It's a beautiful walk above the rapids and waterfalls of impossibly green river Radovna.
The gorge ends with a 13-meter high waterfall Šum.
The best time for taking good pictures and video is in the middle of a day, when the sun rays reach the gorge.
We went in the evening, so the video could be better - but that's OK.
