Today's hike can be described quite simply: up the vineyard, down the vineyard, up the vineyard,...
😉. It was still beautiful. We were lucky and came across a supermarket along the way. Besides stocking up on supplies (mainly fruit), we also had a cold drink and, of course, an ice cream.

A tour of the Brda wine region in Slovenia on the border with Italy. The destination of the day, Smartno, is a town well worth seeing, which is enthroned on top of a hill with town fortifications. You can explore the few narrow streets quickly, so that you can then settle down and relax in a vinotheque.

A tough stage, and that in the rain! The altimeters are not spectacular, but the length makes this trip quite difficult. Britte is well through it after today. Curious how that ends? Listen to episode 9 of the TrailTalks podcast: spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/4g9J5GkTIzb
