planine nad Sočo / alpine pastures above the river Soča

Sončno nedeljo sva izkoristila za potep po planinah pod Krnom. Na vrhu Krna je še sneg, v dolini že cvetijo zvončki, midva sva hodila nekje po meji med pomladjo in zimo.

We spent sunny Sunday wandering through the mountain pastures below Mt. Krn. There is still some snow at the top of Krn, whereas snowdrops are already blooming in the valley. We walked somewhere in the middle, along the border between spring and winter.

V hribih nad reko Sočo je kar nekaj planin, kjer je poleti precej živahno. Takrat se tam pasejo krave, na planinah pa izdelujejo tradicionalni tolminski sir. Sredi februarja pa srečaš le redke planince.

There are quite a few alpine pastures in the hills above the Soča river and in the summertime, it is quite lively there. Cows and cattle grazed on the meadows and traditional Tolmin cheese is made there. In mid-February, however, we met only a few mountaineers.

Midva sva šla od planine Kuhinja bo planine Leskovca, se povzpela na planino Sleme, nato spustila do planin Medrje in Pretovč ter skozi vas Krn vrnila na izhodišče. V sončnem dnevu sva prehodila krožno pot, malo navkreber do snega, pa spet navzdol v dolino.

We started from the pasture Kuhinja continued to the pasture Leskovca, climbed to the pasture Sleme, then descended to the mountain pastures Medrje and Pretovč and returned to the starting point. It was a circular path, a little uphill to the snow border, then downhill into the valley, enjoying the sunny day.
