Divja tura po globeli slapov potoka Pasjak, slovenska Istra

Pred leti sem se že podil v tistih koncih in že takrat sem bil presenečen, kako neobljudeni oziroma malo obiskani so kraji v notranjosti slovenske Istre. Stvari se v zadnjih letih niso spremenile in pred dnevi smo izkoristili čas za super divjo turo po globeli potoka Pasjak, ki teče praktično na meji med Slovenijo in Hrvaško. S turo smo začeli v simpatični vasici Topolovec, nadaljevali mimo cerkvice Svetega Hieronima, potem pa se je pot počasi zgubila, avantura pa je iz metra v meter postajala bolj zanimiva – beri divja. 🙂 Zadnjič sem Pasjak obiskal v zimskih mesecih, ko je bilo vode ravno prav, rastlinstva praktično nič in raziskovanje globeli je bilo dokaj enostavno. No, pred dnevi je bila zgodba malo drugačna. Vode je bilo zaradi zadnjih nalivov kar nekaj a prav zaradi nje so bili vsi slapovi še toliko lepši. Vzorce poti smo našli le na nekaj odsekih, vse ostalo pa je bilo zaraščeno, polno trnja in ostale džungelske navlake. Če povzamem – vse skupaj je bilo bolj podobno kakšnim pripravam za amazonsko ekspedicijo kot pa vikend pohajkovanje po slovenski Istri. 🙂

Couple of years ago I was already exploring this places and was amazed by the fact, that so little people visit this really beautiful places in Slovenian Istria. Things have not changed in recent years and couple of days ago we decided to go on another adventure in Pasjak stream gorge and explore all those beautiful waterfalls. We started with the tour in the cute village of Topolovec, continued past the church of St. Hieronim but after that path slowly disappeared. The last time I visited Pasjak during the winter months when there was less water, almost no vegetation and because of that hiking was easy. This time there was plenty of water due to the rainfall in last days, vegetation was in full bloom and because of that it was almost impossible to find a path. But maybe also because of that the hike was really something special. 🙂 It was like we are preparing for some Amazon adventure. 🙂 😉
