What an absolutely amazing video with such beautiful scenery. Cheers guys ⛰️👍🏻

Ahh thanks Micky. 🙏 Have you tried via Ferrata before?

[@mickyg3820]

@@wanderingsofalanandcaz no, I only bought a van last year. I’m still converting it. I made a small trip to Switzerland and France! But I never really done enough homework will try again next year. I’ll be sure to keep watching your videos. You do a lot of stuff that I want to do one day and you’re both very interesting to watch.

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

@@mickyg3820 Ahh thanks Mickey. There’s quite a few older videos on our Chanel from France and Spain with loads of ideas. If you need any advice on the van build then feel free to reach out on Instagram or on here 👍👍🚐

Well done! Great watch 😊

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

Thanks guys! Hopes you’re all well and back on the road soon 🙏

[@thevigarfeeling]

Well done guys! It looks awsome. We are yet to go here. We will add it to our list 😊

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

You’ll love it! Slovenia is way way better than we thought it would be. Just the right mixture of old and new.

[@zdravkohorvat8522]

There are two ascend routes to the top of Mangart, called Slovenska smer ( Slovenian route ) and Italijanska smer ( Italian route ). You two ascended via Slovenian route and descended via Italian route. Slovenian route is a bit harder, than the Italian route. There's also a Via Ferrata called Via Italiana, which isn't a direct route to the top. It starts at Bivacco Nogara, some 300 meters down on the Italian side, and ends up on the Mangart saddle, and that's an actual ferrata, wheretho Slovenian and Italian routes are "only" protected ascend routes, not really classified as via ferratas. Either way, I'm very glad you liked it, and you're very welcome to climb some more of our beautiful mountains :)

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

That’s right. We were the wrong side for the Italian. We CE down the normal route 👍 Have you done the Slovenian or the Italian route?

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

We’ll look out for that Via Italiana next time. Sounds good.

[@zdravkohorvat8522]

@@wanderingsofalanandcaz it starts down below that lookout point you two were standing on the edge at 6:05 and exits just a tad bit higher from the point where you fixed your via ferrata gear :). It is very exposed though, and literally passes over the wall which can be seen left from Caz at the same time stamp ...

[@zdravkohorvat8522]

@@wanderingsofalanandcaz done all three of them quite a few times tbh :) ... I only wanted to point it out to you, as you were referring to Slovenian and to Italian route as via ferratas, which they aren't that, technically. Don't want to nitpick on it too much though, and I want to congratulate to both of you on scalling Mangart ... it's quite an achievement 🙏. And one more thing, I want to give you a 👍for the proper gear, while scalling the mountain. Sadly many tourists are oblivious to the requirements of safe climbing and our mountain and rescue service is having quite a step incline in the number of interventions because of that, quite a few even ending tragically unfortunatelly

I love this way of traveling. I drove through Europe in an autocamper, and it was so nice. I really enjoyed all the freedom it brought us. Seems like a really nice adventure you've been on and what a great video. Your drone shots around 11:20 is so pretty 🤩Nice to watch and have a great day. Cheers, Simon

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

Ahh thanks Simon. Great to have you along for the journey. It sure is a great way to travel. Don’t still have a van? We’ve got a load more to come from this trip so stay tuned 👍🚐

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

[@CyclingExplorers]

Love it. Ferrata looks amazing! Is it easy?

[@wanderingsofalanandcaz]

It’s not too bad actually. once you get into the swing of disconnecting and connecting again. Are you planning to try it?
