This time I went with PD Za Selško dolino Železniki with their guiding section on the final trip into the unknown. I thought we would turn towards the sea-but wrong direction. We headed towards Tolmin and then to Italy. Soon they guessed we would conquer the pilgrimage center Stara Gora/Castelmonte. To the starting point San Leonardo/also Svet Lienart or Šentlenart/Friulian then Šentlenart. San Leonardo is a municipality in the decentralized regional unit Videm in the Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located 60km northwest of Trieste and 25 km east of Udine. It took us more than three hours to get there. The hiking trail start is well marked. But it was a struggle with mud, fallen trees, slippery rocky path etc. Well, we safely arrived in front of the mighty monastery building and pilgrimage church, whose interior vault construction is something special. We looked inside. No monks seen. To the monastery itself with the church there is a nice asphalt road. Unfortunately too little time to see Udine. We had to hurry back to Slovenia because we had an arranged end in guesthouse Marco Polo. Two participants performed a full theatrical addition. We had a great time. I like going with them.
