Where
Šebrelje is a village on a small plateau above the Idrijca valley, with four hamlets. A well-kept footpath, an old mule track, climbs to it from the village of Reka. To the east lies the Vojsko plateau.
-
How
Mountain trails are marked with the Knafelc blaze (a red ring with a white centre). There are trail maps in the apartment. Wear good shoes, take enough water and set off early, while it is still cool.
-
Why
Below Šebrelje is the Divje babe cave, where a young cave bear's thighbone with two holes was found. It is thought to be the oldest known musical instrument, a Neanderthal flute more than 50,000 years old.

Permits and rules
Walking needs no permit. Stay on marked paths, close pasture gates behind you and leave no litter. Cycle on roads and tracks where cycling is allowed.
Stay by the river
Apartma Tolmun is a good base for all of this. Check your dates and send an inquiry.
