    Hvalevrijedan putopis kao i svi koje sam do sada pregledao uz jednu malu ispravku da Hahlici i opisana ruta nisu u Gorskom kotaru.

    Hvala Ljubo na komentaru i posjeti. Slažem se, no pregusto bi mi bilo za preglednu kartu i tablicu razdvajam na još uža područja od postojećeg, tako da je ova ruta “upala” u blisko područje većeg Gorskog Kotara. Budem u narednom periodu pokušao malo srediti ta područja, ali na žalost zbog gustoće i opsega područja, teško da ću moći razdvojiti Gorski Kotar od Grobničkih Alpi.
