Three trips (Skuta-Dolgi Hrbet-Češka cottage-Kranjska cottage-Savinjsko pass, Lovrenc lakes, Kanin)

Last two weekends I finally took some time for myself and did some trips to hills and mountain. There were three to be precise.

The first one was a bit more then just a trip, since it was quite intense. My sisters fiance Božo and me went on a trekking to Skuta, Dolgi Hrbet, Češka cottage, Kranjska cottage, Savinjsko pass and back to the valley. It took us altogether 12 hours and few minutes with all the rests and stops to finish this trekking. Our knees betrayed us on the way down. But we did it and were glad.
You can find some photos here.

The second one was to Lovrenc lakes. The pristine lakes on Pohorje that are really beautiful. We went there with my parents and it was a bad choice actually. There were tons of people all over the Rogla (our starting point) all the way to the lakes. It was hardly bearable, much like pilgrimage. Still it was worth all the beauty and fresh air.
Some photos are here.

The third one was to the mountain of Kanin. The plan was to see the new part of highway that was opened just a week earlier, and to get through Trnovski forest to city of Bovec and from there to Kanin. It was our first time in Trnovski forest and we were amazed by the beauty of it. Its the pristine natural forest in the midland. Perfect for easy trips and picnics. I bet there are lots of mushrooms there as well (note to myself: get them next time). We took the cable car from Bovec to the ski resort of Kanin and did some trips up there. Rocks are so different there because of all the glacier remains and karst terrain. There are some of the world deepest abysses here.
Again some photos are here.
