It is indeed very nice..... We were\nastounded by the number of Slovenian cars up there, and relatively small\nnumber of cars from anywhere else - this seems to be the way in this area,\nwhich is quite the refreshing change. Not sure where all the people were\neither as the trail to the waterfall, which you might imagine would be a\nhighlight, wasn't actually too busy! We'd recommend this side trip - be warned\nthat it's quite a hill. BUT you do also get a lovely view of the valley from\nthe entrance, ie while cycling past!</p>\n<p>Back to today. It was no hardship to ride along the Savinja river gorge again</p>\n<ul>\n<li>it's some of the prettiest riding we've done in Europe so far. Nice quiet\nroad, albeit not always very smooth! Although it's uphill all the way, things\ndon't ramp up until after the Logar valley turn off. You then have around 8km,\nmostly at 100r more. It's pretty tough going but quiet, and with some lovely\nviews. There's some respite after the border but don't be fooled - there's\nstill a sharp uphill before you're (mostly) done for the day.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The main descent into Austria is probably steeper than the ascent, and the\nroad isn't brilliant, but we've ridden far worse. Once in the valley, we road\nalong the river for a long time, mostly going gradually down. There was\nanother sharp climb (which felt really long, but probably wasn't!) as we got\nnearer to the campsite - I was pretty done in by this point.</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.strava.com/activities/1751478434\">https://www.strava.com/activities/1751478434</a></p>\n<p>We camped at 'Camping Sud' on the banks of the Klopeiner See. It's not cheap\n(31 euros for the two of us) and is a bit cramped, but the location is\nliterally right on the lake. We were reliably told it was 27 degrees -\nwonderful!</p>\n<p><span\n      class=\"gatsby-resp-image-wrapper\"\n      style=\"position: relative; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;  max-width: 800px;\"\n    >\n      <a\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-link\"\n    href=\"/static/696baffb133c159ee39fa9d723293c1c/f9218/278C450A-AAA8-4971-AC16-5EDD06F376CD.jpg\"\n    style=\"display: block\"\n    target=\"_blank\"\n    rel=\"noopener\"\n  >\n    <span\n    class=\"gatsby-resp-image-background-image\"\n    style=\"padding-bottom: 75%; position: relative; bottom: 0; left: 0; background-image: url('data:image/jpeg;base64,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'); background-size: cover; display: block;\"\n  ></span>\n  <img\n        class=\"gatsby-resp-image-image\"\n        alt=\"Klopeiner See\"\n        title=\"Klopeiner See\"\n        src=\"/static/696baffb133c159ee39fa9d723293c1c/4b190/278C450A-AAA8-4971-AC16-5EDD06F376CD.jpg\"\n        srcset=\"/static/696baffb133c159ee39fa9d723293c1c/e07e9/278C450A-AAA8-4971-AC16-5EDD06F376CD.jpg 200w,\n/static/696baffb133c159ee39fa9d723293c1c/066f9/278C450A-AAA8-4971-AC16-5EDD06F376CD.jpg 400w,\n/static/696baffb133c159ee39fa9d723293c1c/4b190/278C450A-AAA8-4971-AC16-5EDD06F376CD.jpg 800w,\n/static/696baffb133c159ee39fa9d723293c1c/e5166/278C450A-AAA8-4971-AC16-5EDD06F376CD.jpg 1200w,\n/static/696baffb133c159ee39fa9d723293c1c/f9218/278C450A-AAA8-4971-AC16-5EDD06F376CD.jpg 1333w\"\n        sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\n        style=\"width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;vertical-align:middle;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n      />\n  </a>\n    </span></p>","frontmatter":{"date":null,"path":"/journal/190","title":""}}},"pageContext":{}}}
