Tito, used to have a summer residence. The story tells: The Maker<br />
intended to shape a part of the Earth to the image of Heaven.<br />
That is how Istria came into being, like a garden covered with<br />
magnificent trees and vast meadows, washed by the deep blue sea,<br />
appealing people to a happier life. But the jealous devil destroyed<br />
his work by tearing the bag in which the angel was carrying the<br />
unused stones. Thousands of rocks scattered around the Istrian<br />
land making it a land of contrasts, gentle and rough, fertile and<br />
barren, sunny and cloudy. The desolated angels gathered the<br />
pieces of Heaven remaining among the scattered rocks and<br />
protected them by the sea waves and <strong>create</strong>d Brijuni*. Return to<br />

DAY 4, SUNDAY, KRANJSKA GORA:<br />
Breakfast. Here <strong>we</strong> start the first of our numerous biking routes<br />
of this program. We start cycling in Kranjska Gora and pass<br />
Podkoren on the opposite bank of the River Sava, on the sunny<br />
side of the valley, which was formed in the past by glaciers. Shortly<br />
after passing Podkoren <strong>we</strong> arrive at the Zelenci nature reserve,<br />
with the source of the River Sava Dolinka. The name reveals the<br />
dominant colour (zelen – green) of the small lake in the swampy<br />
ground. Shortly after the Zelenci nature reserve, the valley opens<br />
up and the Planica Valley splits to the south. Just a little more and<br />
<strong>we</strong> will reach Rateče, the last village before the Italian border and<br />
one of the coldest places in the country. Return to Kranjska Gora,<br />
overnight in the hotel.<br />
STARTING POINT – 810 m above sea level; FINISHING POINT –<br />
866 m above sea level; DISTANCE – 5,700 m one way<br />
DAY 5, MONDAY, KRANJSKA GORA:<br />
Breakfast. After breakfast, <strong>we</strong> will continue to explore Kranjska<br />
Gora’s breath-taking views. We will follow the already known route<br />
along the former railway from Kranjska Gora and pass the Zelenci<br />
nature reserve on the right, until reaching the road where <strong>we</strong> turn<br />
left into the Ponca Valley. We will soon notice the world famous<br />
ski jumps platform “Velikanka” famous for the world record in<br />
ski jumps. The construction of ski jumps was possible due to the<br />
characteristically glacially formed valley, which leads us past the ski<br />
jumps to the start of a bit more demanding climb. It’s a good thing<br />
that the barrier prevents cars from driving deep into the valley<br />
thus enabling cyclists to enjoy a peaceful ride in the beautiful and<br />
natural environment. The sandy road, several parts of which are<br />
filled with rocks carried from beneath the steep rock walls into the<br />
valley by the fast flowing mountain streams, leads us through the<br />
forest to the green oasis at the foot of the rock walls and to the<br />
very edge of the Triglav National Park.<br />
The Tamar Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys and the<br />
mountain hut, located at the very end of today’s tour, offering<br />
pleasant refreshment. From here <strong>we</strong> continue on foot since the<br />
mighty rock walls of Jalovec force you to return back using the<br />
same path. We advise caution when descending; look out for the<br />
sandy and sometimes rolling ground.<br />
STARTING POINT – 810 m above sea level; FINISHING POINT –<br />

on the opposite bank of the River Sava, on the sunny side of the<br />
valley, which was formed in the past by glaciers. Shortly after passing<br />
Podkoren <strong>we</strong> arrive at the Zelenci nature reserve, with the source<br />
of the River Sava Dolinka. The name reveals the dominant colour<br />
(zelen – green) of the small lake in the swampy ground. Shortly after<br />
the Zelenci nature reserve, the valley opens up and the Planica Valley<br />
splits to the south. Just a little more and <strong>we</strong> will reach Rateče, the last<br />

ski jumps platform “Velikanka” famous for tte world record in<br />
ski jumps. The construction of ski jumps was possible due to the<br />
characteristically glacially formed valley, which leads us past the ski<br />
jumps to the start of a bit more demanding climb. It’s a good thing<br />
that the barrier prevents cars from driving deep into the valley thus<br />
enabling cyclists to enjoy a peaceful ride in the beautiful and natural<br />
environment. The sandy road, several parts of which are filled with<br />
rocks carried from beneath the steep rock walls into the valley by the<br />
fast flowing mountain streams, leads us through the forest to the<br />
green oasis at the foot of the rock walls and to the very edge of the<br />

mountain hut, located at the very end of today’s tour, offering<br />
pleasant refreshment. From here <strong>we</strong> continue on foot since the<br />

sunbathing on the beach, but it is much healthier, has a lot of<br />

one of the biggest prayer centres in the world.<br />
The Legend of Medjugorje is one of the most amazing supernatural<br />
events of our time.<br />
