From the Camp Triglav camping place in Trenta to the spring of the river Soca, this was a nice, relaxing day trip within the UL Summit. On the way back we visited the Alpine Botanical Garden of Slovenia, which showcased many of the flowers we've seen on our trip.

We started from the camping place in Bohinja Bistrica, from where we hiked for five days till Trenta through the Triglav National Park. The highlight was bivying at 2300m elevation on a barren high plateau with Mt. Triglav in view and Ibexes as neighbours. A superb trip!

A bikepacking trip, we rode from the Parkano railway station to the Seitseminen National Park and onwards towards Kuru, where we camped at a nice camp site. The next day we continued to Kuru and then via back roads to Tampere, from where I took the train back home.
