Hiking in the Košuta area

It only took me four months to post-process photos from a hike I did last fall. :)
On a sunny September day, I decided to climb a few peaks in the Košuta mountain range above Tržič. Early in the morning I drove to Planina Šija:

On my way to the first peak, Kofce gora, I noticed how smoggy the valley was, even though it looked like it was sunny:

From the top, the trees looked so tiny:

My heart was singing and I kept stopping to take more photos:

A different panoramic view from the top ;)

Among the rocks, small red plants basked in the sun:

There are areas of the grassy slopes that are covered with heather:

The trail continues on the crest to Košutnikov turn, but I had to head back to the valley and home:

The hike was exhilarating! Breathtaking views all around and hardly any people around, which is great if you like solitude in the mountains - I know I do. Highly recommended!
The trip is described in more detail and with more photos here.

Jure, hvala! Tudi tvoj blog ni od muh. V vsakem primeru pa pomaga, če človek rad hodi v hribe, ki so itak po defaultu fotogenični, a ne? :)
