z družbo v hribe / a hiking buddy

Nad Bovcem se dviga hrib Svinjak, ki sploh ni tako visok (1653 m), vendar je pot do vrha precej naporna. Izhodišče je v Kalu Koritnici in po tri urnem vzponu (višinska razlika 1193 m) po strmem pobočju dosežemo vrh. Od parkirišča najprej nadaljujemo do muzeja na prostem Čelo, kjer se lahko sprehodimo med jarki in ostanki iz prve svetovne vojne in že uživamo v razgledih na dolino. Nato nadaljujemo skozi gozd, potem pa po skalnatem področju. Pot se vedno bolj strmo vzpenja, proti koncu je tudi nekaj jeklenic. Na vrhu pa naju je pričakal veličasten razgled na dolino Soče in gorovja, ki jo obdajajo.

Above a town Bovec rises the hill Svinjak, which isn't a giant hill (1653 m), but the path to the top is quite strenuous. The starting point is in Kal Koritnica and after a three-hour ascent over a steep slope we reach the top (altitude difference 1193 m). We started to walk at the parking place and continued to the open-air museum Čelo. There we could walk among the caves and remnants of the First World War and already enjoyed the view of the valley. Then we walked through the woods and lately over a rocky area. The path climbs more and more steeply, towards the end there are also some safety steel cables. At the top we had a magnificent view of the Soča Valley and the surrounding mountains.

Včasih imam občutek, da me noge kar same nesejo v hribe. Včeraj pa ni bilo tako. Moje noge so bile težke in jaz sem se spraševala, zakaj to počnem, zakaj raje ne ostane na doma, mogoče gledam tv, malo počivam, spijem kavo, pa malo poklepetam o tem in onem… Potem pa sva v gozdu srečala prijazno kozo, ki je šla z nama celo pot vse do vrha, spotoma jedla listje z grmov in elegantno skakala čez skale. Bila je zelo dobre volje in uživala sončen dan. Če malo pomislim, izleta s tako prijetno družbo pa res ne gre izpustiti. Počivanje lahko še počaka.

Sometimes I have the feeling that my feet are simply carrying me to the mountain peaks. Yesterday, I didn't feel that way. My legs were heavy, and I was wondering why I didn't rather stay at home, maybe watch TV, rest a bit, drink coffee, chat about this and that… Then we met a nice goat in the woods who went with us all the way to the top, along the way she ate leaves from the bushes and elegantly jumped over the rocks. She was in a very good mood and enjoyed a sunny day. If I'm honest, a trip with such pleasant company really shouldn’t be missed. We can rest another day.
