Due to bad weather yesterday, the race did not go all the way to the Grintovec summit. The goal was set to the Kokrsko sedlo saddle (Cojzova hut, 1793 m), starting from Kamniška Bistrica (600 m).
There were 197 participants from 16 countries.

Yep, Bled is a real Tourist resort, and I usually avoid that.
Rowing... ha, great work-out I guess.

Thanks for the link anyway.
Cheers Eric!

Rowing is a great and beautiful sport and whatever we can say about Bled, with or without tourists, watching world rowing champs in Bled can only be gorgeous experience ! I don't know many bodie of water entitled to host major events and located in such scenic place, except perhaps
Aiguebelette

I checked on the Mokrica page and in the External Lins section, I opened the "360° view".
And I get this message:

DISPLAY OF VIRTUAL REALITY PANORAMA IS DISABLED DUE THE SLOVENIAN GOVERNMENT INSPECTION

I wonder how come.
Any clues?

EDIT : it came back !

Well... there is a SP page. LOL

Speaking of Triglav,
today is 80 years since the first Slovenian feature movie

Some Sweet Flying I saw on youtube!

Good find, thanks for sharing.
Yup, sweet flying!

One sees them leaving from the Ceska koca hut and make the ascent to the Grintovec summit.
First flight down to Jezersko.
Next, one sees them crossing from the Ceska koca hut to the Kranjska koca hut (that's where the chopper leaves from).
From there they went up to Ledinski vrh's summit and flew down again to Jezersko.

Thanks borut. Looks like those mountains have some signifigant elevation gain from the valleys.

Here is a gallery of Alpinists from Slovenia that are (were) SummitPost members (unfortunately only few are active on the site). In fact, there are more, but these at least contributed a profile image.

Steve House will again be visiting our neck of the woods - in December, featuring the translation of his book Beyond The Mountain (Onkraj Gora, in Slovenian). First in Maribor. Maribor is the place Steve 'landed' as he first visited Slovenia in the late 1980s (chapter two of the book: The School Of Slovenian Alpinism).
