On Tuesday there were quite a few posts and most of them started like this: "Today I used the last nice day of this week...". Well, they probably meant "last sunny day", because nice days are still continuing... nice in their own way or specially nice.
Today I didn't expect much... at most an icy "highway" to the top, fog, clouds, possibly wind, but something still drew me up. Maybe "female" intuition  ...
When I arrived mid-morning in Brezje above Tržič, something completely different awaited me: 5-10 cm of fresh powder and snowing, only one car in the parking lot, and even that was two dog walkers who left while I was changing. So already at the start it promised a real winter fairy tale... which it really was... no sun, no blue sky, no views, but everything covered and whitened with new snow, solitary (yes, solitary on Dobrča, can you imagine!  ), only quiet snowfall, colors mainly gray and white... majestic and unforgettable atmosphere for my taste... when you're alone in silence with yourself and let your thoughts run free... and you hear nothing, not even your own steps in the fresh snow...
One hiker overtook me still below the takeoff site, we exchanged a word or two about all this beauty, he liked it too and went on. On steeper sections it was a bit slippery under the new snow on the icy base below, so I decided not to go direct to the top, but to make a gentler detour via Lešanska planina. When I reached the takeoff site, I realized that the predecessor had obviously decided the same, because there was a completely fresh, deep track leading to the planina. Great, I thought. But the track didn't last long... at the crossroads of paths to Lešanska and Bistriška planina I realized he had turned onto the road into the valley, while towards Lešanska planina everything remained untouched. Hm... didn't feel like going back, I plunged into the snow, whatever happens, I thought. To the planina it went great, across the planina upwards more strenuous because the lower older layer was breaking through, but above the planina it got better again. Well, from there to the top it's not far anymore.... Back down the direct path it was flying .
On the way back I met a lady, by her appearance she is already quite advanced in years. Slowly and persistently overcoming the steep slope. When we made eye contact, I saw pure joy and sparks in her eyes. She must be a warm, friendly being, I thought. We stopped and chatted. How much joy of life was in her voice and how much fire in her words as she rejoiced in the beauty of today's day and the peace and tranquility of nature. I admired her and wished that I too could enjoy beautiful moments in nature like that in her years.
But for now I hope to catch another such beautiful day this week...
