In the western end of Bohinj lake, Ukanc is a small residential area. A few nice houses in a gardened area and a camping park, compose a very calm set of resources for a relaxing vacation in the lake.
No, Srednja Vas was not in my plans and I doubt that I would ever ear about it if my GPS didn't get mad, approaching the lake. It sent us to a dead end, in a narrow and frightening path late in the night. However, while turning back we noticed that it could be pretty by daylight, and Fernanda forced me to "get lost" again (flowers oblige!).I did it, and really appreciated the village - very nice and... unexpected.
The most beautiful access to Bohinj lake is Ribcev Laz. The village is beautiful and has the most developed commerce around the lake. Don't miss the nearby villages, where the wooden house with flowers are still more beautiful
Obcine is a very small village situated near the main road Ljubljana-Zagreb, in the vicinity of town of Trebnje.Here you can see the wooden houses, barns and wells built in the begining of the 20th century. Not much of likewise houses has left in Slovenia.
Velenje is one of the biggest industrial and mine centre of Slovenia. It is located out of main roads but easy to reach from the highway Ljubljana-Maribor. There is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful medieval castles in whole Slovenia, worth to see.
Ljutomer is a small town in the eastern part of Slovenia. It is located in area of so-called "wine triangle path" of Ormoz-Jeruzalem-Ptuj. If you are a wine-lover, you shouldn't miss this place. Also, there is a beautiful church in Ljutomer a must see.
Nace’s house is a beautiful wooden farm building located in the quiet nearby southern suburb of Puštal and takes about 10 minutes to walk to from Mestni trg. It is one of the oldest wooden houses left standing in Slovenia and as such has become a museum and a monument of the Slovene cultural legacy of national interest. The oldest part is the lower stone storey which is believed to date from the 16th century whilst it’s most eye-catching feature is the baroque wooden upper storey and roof which date from 1755. The floor plan is typical of an Alpine house. On the ground floor there is a hall, “black” kitchen, wooden lower house, a small room and a granary. An almost identical ground plan is repeated on the upper floor, where along the main and front façades, the house is encircled by a promenade balcony with a decorated railing.Directions: Walk south from Mestni trg and cross river via...
Pekel (Hell) cave is an unusual occurrence in Pohorje mountain range. This cave is typical carstal phenomena, and it is situated hundreds of kilometres away form karstal areas of Slovenia!Just like any other decent (oh, well..) carstal cave, this one has a river flowing then disappearing in the middle of some field and re-appearing 4 hours later in this cave.The origin of its strange name is rather obvious - looking towards the cave you will easily recognize the whole figure of the devil, and the entrance is between his legs.Legends that have been circulating among people were "explaining" that it is the devil's home where he hosts beautiful young ladies. These ladies sing and bewitch helpless men who can not resist and have to enter the cave only to be "forced" into immoral activities. Not only the figure of the devil, there are other numerous "proofs" that this place is absolutely...
Resotred and operated by the Idrija Municipal Museum, the 'Franja' hospital is named after Dr. Franja Bojc Bidovec. This incredible hospital hidden up in a canyon near Cerkno operated to treat wounded partisan soldiers in the second world war. Most of the cabins stand in their original camouflaged form (the first 3 were rebuilt after an avalance in 1989) with many medical implements, beds and supplies still remaining, a testament to the impressive location chosen leading to the hospital remaining secret throughout it's working life. Each and every cabin has a different use from basic supplies cabins to the X-Ray cabin and Quarantine wards. Two generators at the end of the pass provided a source of hydroelectric power allowing the cabins to be dimly lit, heated and of course to run electrical equipment. I'm actually struggling here to quite describe it!!! It was one of the places in...
Gondola ride to Vogel ski center and hiking trails is very exciting. New modern gondolas are gliding smoothly enabling you to enjoy views over whole Bohinj lake and high mountain peaks, among them is also Triglav - highest point in Slovenia.
