  • Join my epic 3 days of solo hiking through the majestic Julian Alps in Slovenia. 🏔️ This adventure took me on a 12km journey each day through the enchanting Seven Lakes Valley and the wild mountains, reaching an elevation of about 6,000+ft (2,000m) high.
    Beginning in the quaint village of Stara Fuzina in the North of Slovenia, I conquered the rugged & steep terrain toward Vodnikov Dom, marveling at beautiful landscapes like the Devil's Bridge and the carved Mostnica Gorge.
    Despite facing moments of defeat and extreme fatigue, the awe-inspiring views and diverse alpine landscapes make every step worthwhile!! As the journey progresses, it's impossible not to be inspired by the sheer beauty of the Slovenian mountains. The emotional rollercoaster of this hike - filled with challenges, exhilaration, and even the loss of a drone 😢 serves as a testament to the power of solo hiking adventures.
    Come along with me for this epic journey and experience the highs and lows of a challenging solo hike through one of Europe's most beautiful mountain ranges. 🧗🏻‍♀️
    Keep exploring,

    I just found this channel a week ago. I've been watching travel vlogs for years and I never saw this channel before which shows it is very difficult to reach out to viewers on UA-cam if you are not a famous channel. I love this channel as you presentors are very informative, you explain everything in detail and goes on interesting and inspiring trips. It makes me want to go out on adventure. You deserve to get alot more viewers.

    Some points that need to be highlighted;
    1. Julian Alps are not part of the Balkans.
    2. Flying drones in Triglav National Park is highly illegal (unless one acquires special permit) and can be fined up to 2500€.

      Balkan is not in Europe,never was,it is intentionally used to call this part of Europe,Western Balkans,because of neoturkish interest into conquering this part of Europe silently in hidden genocide which is happening every day,but no one is brave enough to say it publicly,because they,Turks and Albanians kidnap children and they don't give them back,if you refuse to be silent,they kill them!
      Balkan is in Turkmenistan,Asia,where Balkan people live,but term Western Balkans is used for central European countries,which Turks and Albanians want to conquer!

      Balkan is in Asia,Turkmenistan,even capital cit is called Balkanabat(Balkan city)...Balkan is not in Europe it is in Asia.
