 Piran from Walls by Waxbag
The old town is really quaint and beautiful. There are many Italian tourists here during the summer so it can get crowded but they tend to stay on the beach on the north side of town (and sometime forget to put on cloths).
The Church of St. George is a Renaissance/ Baroque church that dominates the peninsula. It has very similar characteristics of the tower structures found in Venice. There are some 15th century walls on the east side of the old town. Piran Harbour is a pleasant place with a square to the north surrounded by the town hall, court house, and post office. It is regular hang out for locals at the end of the day. On the end of the peninsula the streets get very narrow and you may find yourself experiencing some dejavous if you have already visited Venice. Leave a Comment Directions: Can be easily reached from Koper and Ljubljana by bus.

 Kobarid Museum by Diosa
The museum comes from an interesting anti war standpoint. It's one of the few military museums I've seen whereby there's no real bias to either side of the battle lines. Containing an impressive collection of uniforms, weaponary, letters, maps and all other manner of military parafinalia, it's an extraordinary experience. We were there over 3 hours which is impressive considering those travelling with me being more outdoorsy than museum 'types' (not that there is such a thing!)
I digress! I wont go on to describe much more in detail, it spoils the whole experience., suffice to say it's a moving place to visit. I left with such a deep sadness over the suffering of both people and nature but it left me even more resolute on the sheer horrors of war and ever so slightly hopeful that we will continue to remember the past, perhaps learn from it and avoid such tradgedy ever again. One can hope!!!
The museum website provides all current information on opening times, tours, exhibitions and costs.
The town of Kobarid is situated in the north west of slovenia, approximately an hours drive from Bled or Idrija. whilst in the region it is worth exploring areas of the Soca Valley such as Cerkno and the Franja Partisan hospital. The drive through the Soca pass itself is visually stunning, you can quite simply park at almost the summit of a mountain and survey for miles in every direction.

 Logarska dolina by FRONA
Logarska Dolina lies nestled deep in the heart of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, and due to its location is an ideal starting point for numerous excursions into the mountains. The foundations of the picturesque Alpine valley one can enjoy today were in fact laid down during the last Ice Age when a huge glacier abraded a 7-km long, 250-m wide "U" shaped basin. Today this trough-like valley lies enshrouded by the lofty peaks of Krofička, Ojstrica, Lučka Baba, Planjava, Brana, Turska Gora and Rinke, all of which rise above 2,000 metres. The valley is divided into three parts: the lower tract is called Log, the central one Plest, whilst the upper part is known as Kot. Log and Plest are covered by meadows, whilst Kot is partially forested.
The attraction of Logarska Dolina Valley to the nature lover lies in its abundant natural sights coupled with an almost pristine environment. A characteristic mark is also imparted by the farmsteads which have over the centuries aided in contriving a cultural landscape fashioned by the hand of man. The result? - Complete harmony of man and nature, a characteristic seldom found in this day and age. Because of all this Logarska Dolina was made a regional park, the future image of which rests on the successful development of quality tourism in symbiosis with nature. Leave a Comment

Bled is a village situated in northwestern Slovenia. It is well known for its lake. On this lake there is the only island in Slovenia. On this island there is a church. It dates from the 17th century and was built on an earlier church fron the 9th century. Bled also has a castle. They say this is the most ancient in all Slovenia.
I stayed in Bled only some hours. Nor did I go to the islet or visit the castle. I had a long stroll on the path looking on the lake and took some pics. I went to Slasciarna Smon (it's a cafe-confectionery) to have a kremna rezina (see tip) and I had a very good rice with seafood at the restaurant opposite the bus stop. I think its name is Pla Prinicu.
I hope to go back to Bled to visit the church and the castle.
There are direct buses going from Ljubljana to Bled. The journey takes around 1 hour and a half. Leave a Comment
