Snježnik and Guslica

I've long wanted to visit the namesake of our Snežnik, which lives a bit across the border. To make the most of the day we combined the path with cycling and visited neighboring Guslica too. On Guslica there are remains of a JLA relay station and a 4-story bunker.

Snježnik and Guslica We start by bike on the old Roman road, which leads to the Roman gates below Snježnik, from where we have 20 minutes on foot to the summit.

Snježnik and Guslica Parts of the bunker are separated by huge doors. Blastdoors in English, to be honest I don't know what it's called in Slovenian.

You can because you have a guard with you, I mostly walk alone... zavijanje z očmi

For two days we retirees of PD Škofja Loka wandered around Gorski Kotar. We stayed at Platak, where nearby Rečani have a ski slope. Unfortunately last winter it operated only six days. Also in summer around the hut plenty of recreation. Here is the starting point for Snježnik, Guslica and Risnjak. First day we went to Snježnik and Guslica. Very quickly at Snježnik. Pity they never repaired the hut that burned years ago. Even more devastated than a year ago when we were here. Then we headed to nearby summit Guslica. On this mountain during the time of the joint state there was a large surveillance center with large underground spaces. Also the huge building is decaying - pity. I think some of it is still in use. Paths are nice, well marked. On the way back we had everything - hail, rain, thunder. Mud as much as you want.
