Countryside In Western Slovenia

in #photography6 years ago

As you already know, we spent the last week of our vacation in Slovenia. It's a tiny country and you can see a different landscape and climate types in a small area. Nature there is wild and amazing.

In today's post, I'll show you the northwestern mountainous part of Slovenia.

In commercials, we like to call it On the sunny side of the Alps.

Enjoy.

If you avoid Highways and you not afraid of narrow winding roads on your journey, you can see many villages like this one.

This miniature hey stack is part of traditional farming and heritage. Nowadays more like an attraction than of a real use.

You can still find a lot of stuff from First World War in the public and private Museums and on the fields and mountains. The hidden cavern is just one of examples.

Wild spring creek.
No chlorine, I can guarantee.

Churches in the mountains are not as spectacular as in Barcelona but they serve the same purpose and people always find shelter for their bodies and souls at hard times in their life.

This is how the street sign looks like in the mountain crossroad.

The flock of sheep is happy about spring arrival, and blooming apple tree in the background is a perfect match for a good photo.

Cheesemaking is centuries old tradition here and the stables still serve their purpose. It's nice to see they preserve tradition and built the new ones in the same way as old.

The mountain on the left, with the most snow on top of it, is called Krn, the same as the village on the photo. This is the view from the South.

After all day hiking, we needed to replenish our dehydrated bodies with some fresh electrolytes. The bottle of the famous brand of Slovenian beer was more than capable of doing that.

Well, if I want to be honest, just one bottle was not quite enough.

Cheers, my friends.

Sort:  

could it be any greener? looks like something out of "THe Sound of Music"

Man that place is lush with greenery, even the beer!

so much greenery , you must have enjoyed traveling this beautiful place .
at last Cheers...

Laško je zakon :)

No, no. Tudi Union ni kar tako, hehe. Je pa res da v Torontu se dobi samo Lasko kolikor je meni znano.

Za Toronto nebi vedel :) Je pa res, da je tudi Union dobra izbira .

Your pictures are great promotion for Slovenia. They are perfect example of how green our country really is. Amazing! Even beer's bottle Laško is green ;)

Beautiful mountains! I haven't been to Slovenia yet, but now it's on my bucket list! :)

Slovenia is really a beautiful place and with this green environment. This should be the perfect place for relaxation. That beer is enough to cool off
