Slovenija: Postojna via Snežnik do Prezida

Overall a nice trail. I skipped from Velike Bloke to Novi Vas as the previous comment suggested. Lots of resupply opportunities and nice forests, even though a lot of gravel roads. Mostly marked well enough but you need to keep this app handy to stay on the trail!

Beautiful route with lots of things to see on the way. The path between Nova Vas and the Cross cave is completely overgrown at some places, I think due to the storm. Had to go back to the car road and walk all around to reach the cave

Just finished the 7 days trek around Slovenia and it was ok. It has very nice spots but the fact that it has so many gravy roads and so many asphalt is a little disappointing, specially considering that you are most of the time surrounded by beautiful forest. Water was for mesometimes harder to find (the last stage is over 30 km with any water source) that i expected. My stages: day one, from Razdrto to the outsides of Gorenje (slept in tent). Day two, slept by the river (tent) in Krajinski park, just after Skocjan caves. Day three slept by the church (tent) in Ulaka (beautiful spot with water source closeby). Day four I slept just off road in the forest (tent) around one hour after Nova vas. Day five I slept in the forest (tent) also just off road halfway between Grad Sneznik castle and Masun. I encountered two bears but they were more afraid of me than I was of them. Day six i made it to Sviscaki. The hostel was closed (it closes mondays and tuesdays) but i was lucky enough to meet the lady as she was leaving and she let me stay in one room. Last day i climbed Sneznik and get all the way to Prezid in Croatia. You definitely need gps and track to walk the way as there is very often high grass covering the paths and signalling is poor so you may skip some paths. It is all walkable, but it may be tricky to find the way. Signalling is not very good, many of the marks are almost gone. Specially the via dinarica one has a poor choice of color, as it is basically green in the middle of the forest. It would be much better to change it to white, for example. The part between Velike Bloke and Nova Vas was my least favourite as it is basically walking on asphalt. I probably would recommend skipping it as there is nothing too special about it. You walk through some nice villages, but the asphalt makes it not worthly for me. Passing through Blosko Jezero is nice for a bath but i found it too touristy to stay. By the way, the “Old school villa” in Nova Vas is not a youth hostel anymore but a hotel. My favourite part was from Grad Sneznik up to the end, specially climbing Sneznik. Overall it has been a nice week, with plenty of moments to remember and a good way to get my body used to the hike.
