Being brave, we decided to walk up Castle Hill to the, well, castle and then we thought that we’d take the funicular railway back down.
The start of the walk.
Sufficiently firm underfoot, which I always appreciate.
Much of the view lower down was rather blocked by trees.
Looking up at the funicular railway.
Our first clear views over Ljubljana and beyond.
There was evidence of an older path, but they’ve clearly spent a fair sum of money on this new wooden path.
This photo was taken from just above the funicular railway station, the square type pod is visible at the bottom which transports people up and down. The walk to the top takes around ten minutes, or around three hours if you’re with Richard (I’m sure he won’t mind me saying that).
And the view at the top, which I thought was rather lovely. Lots more about these mountains, and indeed other ones, in future posts. And, no, I didn’t climb any despite now being a climbing professional. Anyway, the main reason for climbing to the top was to look in Ljubljana Castle, so more of that coming as well.
