Kamnik Bistrica to Velika Planina

After regrouping in Ljubljana we took a bus to Kamnik, then to the trail head for Velika Planina.

This was a beautiful hike up and up, through small villages and past lovely churches.

Velika Planina is a high elevation shepherd settlement in the Kamnik Alps. Although there are a few settlements left in this region, this one is situated magnificently and is well-preserved.

Still feeling happy to be safe.

Coming upon this magical sight after hours of climbing

This is what it looks like when you take the cable car back down
