Knapovska pot

Knap's circular trail runs in the Zasavje mining basin. We started in Trbovlje and circled it far around over the hills above the valley. We borrowed the idea from runners, adapted a part to hiking pace. Still, it added up to rich 32 km and 1800 elevation gain. There are quite a few huts along the way, surely open only on Kal and under Mrzlica. More in photo story. We'll come again nasmeh
