Yesterday on the Saturday morning, we had the idea of going to the highlands. It has already become hot enough that the snow in the mountains has almost melted. That's why we decided to use the Saturday day in the mountains; they are called Kriški podi.
The path is extremely beautiful, not too steep. We started the hike at 4:30 in the morning from the Trenta Valley parking lot.We had to stop halfway and eat a sandwich; we were not yet hungry at home.
After more than 4 hours, we arrived at the mountain lodge called Pogačnikov dom. The cottage is located between the lower and upper lake. We visited the lower lake, which is 120 m long, 90 m wide and 9.5 m deep. It is the warmest of the lakes in Kriški podi. In winter, the lake is deep under snow due to avalanches.
Looking at all these mountains that surrounded us, I felt small, fragile, but at the same time wonderful that I could experience all these wonders of nature. Grey-white rocks, green plains of grass and mountain flowers, birds hovering overhead and, of course, an emerald green lake resting peacefully in the arms of the mountains.
We took off our hiking shoes and dipped our feet in the cold lake. This is really good after a long hike. Your feet really relax in the cold water. I'm glad we decided to go on this hike. I have another memory that I will remember with great pleasure.
See you in the next post.
