It is time for new part of my Tour de Slovenia series.
I still have few photos on stock from my trip to Tamar Valley which I visited on my last stay in Kranjska Gora.
You probably know Planica better, especially if you are from Europe and you are fan of winter sports. Planica is traditional ski flying event at the end of the season. It was the largest ski jumping center for a long time and had record for the longest distance, but in the past years Vikersund has this record. I would say not for long my Norwegian friends :)
When there is a time for ski flying event in Planica it is like an unofficial holiday here in Slovenia. We are really crazy about this sport as we had a lot of success in the past.
Tamara Valley is continuing from Planica, so I suggest to use parking at Planica for the hike as well.
Tamar Valley is one of my favorite hike destination as it offers relatively easy 45 minutes hike with few hills to conquer. At the end you are rewarded with great food option at the cottage which is located surrounded by mountains. I always have mixed štruklji, which is typical Slovenian dish, so that would be my recommendation for you. In winter times you also have to have some spirit with it to warm your body :)
I still have one special trip to the cottage in my memory from few years ago when we went there with friends on the first day of New Year. It was snowing like crazy, but we were young and had a lot of fun doing all the winter joys…
This time it was different as it was relatively hot, but in the valley there is never too hot so it is a great getaway from the city as well. What is also refreshing is Nadiža spring. It is about 15 minutes additional hike, quite steep but still manageable without special protective equipment. This time we didn’t do this hike to Nadiža spring, but I am looking forward to doing it in the near future as water from the spring is so refreshing…
What I like from the Tamar Valley is also that landscape for the whole trail is really beautiful. Also when you meet other people on the way they all always greet, so it gives you a warm feeling and that is Slovenian nation as well.
Enjoy in few photos with beautiful nature and see you soon with next part!
