wandering through the Trnovo FOREST
the first nice day finally comes, after so much rain and gloomy days sirocco. Meanwhile, I devoured the expensive guide on the forest of Trnovo, which offers a wide choice of routes in this beautiful forest a short walk from home and still do not know it deserves.
output with Cassandra Project, hungry for solitude and hiking in the woods, and the neo - Nicola mountain, which has to test his brand-new hiking boots.
morning cold and crisp, inviting to walk. At 10 and 30, after a very strong brunch, we are ready to leave for this new path karst plateau.
The snow is soon appear and sparkle in the sun in the morning. In the village there is ice on the ground and very little information, we are trying to reap where we can, since the guide is generous with its precise indications. Let's take a dirt road that seems to be the right one, and enjoy the silence of the snowy forest, broken only by the crackle of the boots on the frozen ground.
The snow has just covered the ground with a few inches of white, but the trees and shrubs are designed white and the sun shines the snowflakes swirling in the air with each gust of wind and glittering whirl.
Bivi and trivia one another without clear and without a chance to move the map drawn on the rail thin. Not bad, since everyone likes the landscape and the path is never too hard, with small ups and downs in the woods.
After an hour of peaceful journey we find ourselves in Trnovo, had found no trace of the bow lookout Sekulak and rock and I built the first defeat of the day, while my fellow travelers did not seem disappointed by the failure, and instead appreciate a glass of hot tea and a cigarette. We still lack the climb to the Kuk, which could compensate for not having hit the first goal is to reach by car the trail in the peaceful village of Rijavci.
still uncertainty about the path, but the sky was clear and powerful light midday splendor to the snow-covered plateau and no one cares much. The trail runs between thick walls and a tunnel of branches whitewashed, which is enough to touch off a light snowfall incongruous under the sky of enamel.
Then we enter the dense beech forest, following the footsteps of our predecessors. With a long, lazy loop circumnavigate the mountain to find free access and then We come out on the tarmac, just above a Rijavci.
Light, warmth of the sun and human encounters, we are back in the world without even reaching the second goal. It matters little: the balcony that opens before us gives a glow liquid in the direction of the Adriatic with the sky dotted with gliders, while Julian is a stretch as far as the eye of jagged white teeth. The stomach growls and the idea to drink a beer and eat something together. The Zogica is crowded, even though they are three in the afternoon.
go back home which is almost dark, cooked tired and dazed by the light and the dazzling white snow.
I'm writing, the day after its release, the warmth of my office, while outside it started snowing slightly. I can hardly find the words and go back down again in the magical atmosphere of the snowy forest yesterday.
I find it hard because I was not alone and in company with the senses and the mind is detached contemplation. You talk, inevitably there are concerns the welfare of others, all noble pursuits, but that distract from living the way it deserves.
There is no solution: try to convey the passion for travel and nature to those you love, but then the hard work and requires the sharing of the tax waiver.
DEPARTURE
enters Slovenia from Gorizia crossing point from the Red House, following the signs for Bovec and Tolmin. Now out the center of Nova Gorica, you reach an intersection at the bridge over the river Isonzo. Ignore the directions to Bovec, Tolmin and Goriska Brda, take the road on the right and Sveta Gora Lokve. At the inn (Gostilna) Skalnica must continue in the direction Lokve. Is reached after a few miles to the town of Trnovo, a typical Karst village of the mountain.
EXCURSION
do not really believe that, after failing both the goals of the excursion, I can give you some indication of dreaming!
From the village there are a lot dirt allowing walks in the area: free day, then, as in travel organized. The forests and glades of the area are beautiful, as well as the fraction of Rijavci, reached the paved road (sign) that is off to the right of the center of the country.
Just know that if you do not know the area well, the forest roads maintained by the almost endless trails all look the same and lack of specific targets, being always in the thick forests of the plateau. Stray too far without a map and detailed directions, the risk of loss, there is remote.
But the forest of Trnovo is a magical place in every season: I love her unconditionally and I do not know her anger as well as it deserves! But to correct the account, perhaps by dint errors, as happened this time!
