This day was a bit of a reunion with our original itinerary.
We drove our car over the Vršič pass to the small town of Trenta. From there we hiked along the azure Soča river. We walked by some beautiful traditional architecture of the area. It was an easier day, as hiking goes. Our trip ended when skies opened up, just in time to catch a bus back to the car.
We left a Tilley hat on the bus. Not to be deterred, we drove back up the mountain pass, hoping to catch up with the bus. Many hairpin turns later, we found it at Vršič and got the hat back!
On our way back down the pass we met a bus in a narrow hairpin curve. A whole line up of cars had to back up, us included, to let it by. Driving in these parts is thrilling, to say the least! Video below looks sideways but plays upright. Takes a minute to load. We have a little Renault Clio. Fantastic in these mountains.
We love Slovenia more with every passing day.

Someone must be very attached to their Tilley hat! Bangers looked great, I think I’d have preferred them with mash, but still, a hearty meal for hikers extraordinaire! More beautiful shots, I can see why you’re beginning to love Slovenia.

From a cyclist perspective, the video of the mountain decent illustrates a rough turtle back road surface, with compact switchbacks. It would be fun to ascent, but, the decent would be difficult. The hiking trail looks gorgeous and the beer, thirst quenching.
