                                        After the hike, I took a detour returning home. I explored some dirt roads in the area, and from here I could actually see the mountain range I had just climbed.Jan 21, 2007

                                        Even Triglav, Slovenian highest mountain, could be seen in the distance.Jan 21, 2007

                                        Soon I was standing on top of Kladivo at 2094 meters above sea level.Jan 21, 2007

                                        Here you can see the nature of the whole range: grassy on the Slovenian side and steep and rocky on the Austrian side.Jan 21, 2007

                                        The trail from Kofce gora to the next peak, Kladivo.Jan 21, 2007

                                        The crest of the whole range is also the border. Here I was, standing with one foot in Slovenia and with the other in Austria.Jan 21, 2007

                                        On my right, the highest peak I was going to climb that day, Kladivo, could be seen.Jan 21, 2007

                                        The views from the trail towards the south revealed the Kamnik Alps in the distance and smog in the valleys.Jan 21, 2007

                                        I left the car and started climbing towards my first peak, Kofce gora.Jan 21, 2007

                                        Early in the morning, I drove to Planina Šija at about 1400 meters above sea level. The area is one big pasture.Jan 21, 2007
