Hidden hospital from the World War II, Slovenia

Today we woke up in a very nice place, still happy from the fire from the night before, we searched for the first sun rays, which were tapering close to the tent.

With the sun in our faces, we prepared our daily breakfast - some oats with fruits and coffee. After a long and very chilled morning, we packed the tent that was luckily already dry in the backpack and got ready for the third day of our journey.

After studying the map, we passed through a very busy hunting area, where we met a lot of senior hunters preparing for organized hunting. This is a special hunting strategy where, with team work, the hunters are trying to catch as many animals as possible.

With good mood and lighter backpack, we started hiking downhill. On the road, we saw a sign which says that a partisan hospital is only 20 minutes away. As it was still very early, and we had a whole day ahead of us, we decided to take you there.
