Comments
planiram za ovaj vikend napraviti vasu turu zrmanja vrelo - postak - plavno. Molim da mi odgovorite na par pitanja:
-Da li je moguce doci od Jelovih Greda (prvo skretanje lijevo nakon vjetroparka na Postaku) do Kaldrme? Cini mi se da postoji put u duljini 13 km.
-Da li je moguce doci od skretanja u visini Kozje Jame do Babica Jezera? Cini mi se postoji put u duljini 8 km.
Stipe
Ovu turu sam vozio bez puno istraživanja lijevo/desno, no Babića jezero i upravo ovaj smjer koji si naveo ostali su za neke buduće planove tako da bi i meni bilo drago ako voziš u tom kraju da preneseš svoja iskustva kao komentar ispod ove vožnje. Kraj je veoma lijep za vožnju.
Nadam se da će vas i vrijeme poslužiti i uz dobru sreću trebali bi uživati. Eto nisam puno pomogao i hvala na razumijevanju.
