A late afternoon start from Cerknica towards Ilirska Bistrica via the Javorniki mountains. We had our first encounter with swarms of mosquitoes, completely indifferent to Autan. We climbed the hill at a snail’s pace to the top of Javorniki, then we could simply descend all the way to Juršče. In a meadow between Zagorje and Knežak, we had dinner (pasta with pesto) and set up the tent. A cold night awaits us.
