ENLISH VERSION AT THE BOTTOM...
Zadnji lepi dnevi so kot nalašč za izlete v naravo in tokrat sem končno bila v Bistriškem vintgarju.
Glede na to, da sem že bila v Oplotniškem in Blejskem vintgarju, je Bistriški vintgar bil veliko presenečenje ... Če pričakujete ravne in enostavne stezice in poti, ste se prekleto zmotili ...
Iz Celja odidemo ob 10 uri in prvi postanek na kavi v Konjicah na stalnem mestu - Belem konju.
Odidemo proti Bistrici, kjer se preusmerimo proti Impolu, mimo restavracije Potočnica in parkiramo pri vodarni, tik ob vhodu v vintgar. Parkirnih prostorov je bolj malo.
Ogledamo si karto in pot pod noge! Tukaj še z nasmeški na obrazu ...
Na nekaterih predelih je pot prav strma, blatna, dodatno otežuje pot tudi listje, tudi skoki čez kamenje in skale vam ne uidejo! Na nekaterih predelih lahko z enim napačnim gibom pristanete v vodi.
Iščemo slap Žleb, ravno tisti čas pridejo mimo domačini in še nikoli niso slišali zanj ... ja super! Kasneje ugotovimo, da smo šli mimo njega ampak ga še vedno nismo našli. Označba je samo za rimski kamnolom in za slap Šum ...
Ker je bila že pozna ura, smo se 20 minut pred koncem odločili, da se vrnemo nazaj, tako da nismo obšli celotne poti. A ni to super, da je že tako hitro tema?! Hodili smo okoli 4 ure, verjetno bi bilo manj, ampak če imaš v družbi dva ljubitelja fotografiranja se pač stvari zavlečejo :P ...
Ker smo ravno bili v Slovenski Bistrici smo se še na hitro ustavili na gradu. Za ogled se nismo odločili, ker smo dobesedno bili uničeni od hoje, tako da smo si ogledali samo okolico in grajsko kapelico.
Še postanek na kosilu / večerji pri Larmoniji na rižoti z žafranom in gamberi ... mmmmm ...
Ne vem kdaj sem nazadnje celo pot domov bila tiho. Ta "sprehodek" po vintgarju je bil pa ni bil kar tako. Se vidi, da sem letos zanemarjala hribe ...
ENGLISH VERSION:
The last beautiful days are perfect for walks and this time I finally was in Bistrica Gorge.
Given that I have already been in Oplotnica gorge and Bled gorge, the Bistrica gorge was a big surprise ... If you expect a straight and simple paths and tracks, you are terriby wrong ...
From Celje we left at 10 am and the first stop for coffee was in Konjice in the same old place - White horse.
We went to the Bistrica, towards Impol, past restaurant Potočnica and park at the water pumping station, right next to the entrance to the gorge.
We checked the map and off we go...
In some parts of the path it is steep, muddy, the leaves are wet, even you will not escape from jumping over the stones and rocks! In some areas you can land in the water with one wrong movement.
We were looking for a waterfall Žleb, just at that time the locals came by and have never heard of him ... yes great! Later, we found out that we went past him but we still did not found the waterfall. The designation is only for the Roman quarry and Waterfall Šum ...
Since it was already late hour, 20 minutes before the end we decided to go back, so we did not go the whole way on the map. Don't we all love darkness at 4 pm?!
We walked for about 4 hours, it would probably be less, but if you're in the company of two lovers of photography is just longer the procedure: P ...
As we have just been in the Slovenska Bistrica we made a quick stop at the castle. We did not decided for a tour because we were literally destroyed from walking, so we just watched the surroundings and the castle chapel.
Another stop for lunch / dinner in Larmonija on risotto with saffron and shrimps ... mmmmm ...
I do not know when was the last time I was the whole way home quiet. This "little walk" in the gorge was not so innocent. I neglected the mountains this year ... I'll do better next year..
