Baraga Path

Baraga Path is named after Friderik Baraga, a Slovenian missionary and bishop. The path is circular and leads through some places from his life. The starting point in Trebnje is very close to us, so we set off to explore this part of Slovenia as well.

We parked on Baraga Square in front of the Church of St. Mary's Assumption, where there is plenty of space for several cars. We continued across the bridge towards the prominent Trebnje Castle, which is in quite a sad state. At this point the circular path begins, which can be walked in both directions. There are really numerous Baraga signs for the correct direction, so it's hard to get really lost. The exception is in Knežja vas, where they disappear soon after the church for a good half kilometer. I suspect someone intentionally removed them eek

. There we used the GPS track.

We walked clockwise and first visited the highest point of the path, which is Trebni vrh. There we also met the only hikers of the entire day. Afterwards we were completely alone, which we're already used to nasmeh

. Baraga Path is partly forested, partly scenic, and the surface is mostly comfortable for walking. When wet it can be slippery in many places, which fortunately we didn't experience velik nasmeh

. On a few short sections there is also brambles that effectively catch passers-by. There is little asphalt, and the roads are completely traffic-free.

Kilometers were left behind us, villages followed one after another. After Knežja vas we soon returned to the original valley and spotted Trebnje in the distance. But the path to it was still long and ran along the slopes above the valley. Before Trebnje Castle there followed a descent to the road and return to the starting point. More in the photo story ...
