We were travelling with a VW T6 Bulli with
a pop-top roof to sleep in. With us were a
Fanatic Falcon Air and a Fanatic Ray Air
Premium. Well, expect the unexpected:
Christoph broke his leg a few weeks before
the trip so he tried sit-down paddling this
time around with a double-bladed paddle!
After we pumped up the boards for the
first time, we just put them on the roof
rack, so we could easily grab them when
we found another wonderful SUP spot.
Slovenia
After four exciting days we left South Tyrol
and drove to Slovenia, which greeted us
with beautiful small roads and many lush
green trees along our way. Every one of
the small bridges was decorated with
flowers and the ancient villages seemed to
be right out of a fairytale. After a short
drive we arrived at our first Slovenian SUP
spot: Most na Soči.
The Soča River has the most amazing
shades of blue – no filters are needed.
From Most na Soči you can paddle along
the calm river for quite a while, where the
landscape changes from deep Caribbean
blue water and plant tendrils to a rocky
steep but still very green riverside that
makes you feel like you were the first
person to explore this landscape.
The next day, we drove to Ljubljana to
SUP through the city, but unfortunately
some heavy rain met us there and we
had to rethink our travel route. I mean,
how awesome is it, that you can just
avoid the rain? Imagine having booked a
hotel in a rainy spot – then the whole trip
might be ruined!
