--- title: 'Day 12: Ljubljana -> Slovenska Bistrica' author: nadim.salloum type: post date: 2021-08-21T17:21:01+00:00 categories: - Velotour Sommer 2021 --- After another break I was ready again for a longer distance, so I headed towards Maribor, and was just going to see how far I could make it in that day. For big parts I was on remote roads, with a highway nearby, but I was also mostly the only cyclist. At one point I met three fellow swiss cyclists, but we didn‘t meet for long. I got very quickly into much less populated areas, through many different tiny villages with no more than twenty houses. I also left the alps completely behind me and while I still had some hills, it was generally getting much flatter. By the afternoon I realised that I would not be able to make it to Maribor, but I also did not find any camping nearby. It was getting later and darker quickly and I was getting exhausted, so I decided to go wild camping and started looking for forests. I found a spot and just as it was about to get dark managed to set up the tent. I quickly went to sleep as it was a long day…
unfortunately I missed about two hours in my tracking because it was on pause… should be closer to 140 km
At one point the road ahead was blocked and I decided to turn around
still hilly, but not as much as before
lots of forest and not many people
I was lucky with the weather, but the clouds were looming above me
