Actually, I wanted go travel back North (and thus into the mountains) again today. According to the weather forecast, however, this could have been a rather wet day. So, I drove South instead. On the one hand the weather should be better there, and on the other hand one can go hiking below the surface, in karst caves. Continue reading The caves of Škocjan county

A cozy capital
When you are spending ten days in Slovenia, a visit to the capital should also be on the itinerary. Therefore, I spent a couple of hours in Ljubljana today. Continue reading A cozy capital

Beautiful Bled
My tour of lakes continues: Today, I visited Lake Bled. Additonally, I also hiked through Vintgar Gorge (which is close by). Continue reading Beautiful Bled

Off to Bohinj!
I spent the last two days in an accommodation near Lake Bohinj. Since this region was so beautiful, I limited myself to exploring the immediate surroundings. Why seek far afield when waterfall, lake and gorge are all within walking distance? Continue reading Off to Bohinj!

An (un)pronounced beautiful pass
Another winding mountain road! I followed the Soča again, only this time even beyond its source, up to Vršič pass. This pass is the watershed between Soča and Sava rivers – and a great area for hiking! Continue reading An (un)pronounced beautiful pass

The Isonzo Canyons
Yesterday, I already liked the Soča (aka Isonzo) river a lot. So, I decided to take the longer trip to the Soča Valley today in order to hike part of the Soča Trail. However, I decided against the almost eight-hour variant over the full 27.6 kilometers (from the source to Bovec). Instead, I opted for the scenically most interesting part (according to my guidebook, at least) which starts in Soča village. Continue reading The Isonzo Canyons

From waterdrip to waterfall
Today was dedicated to the Kozjak river. My first accommodation in Slovenia is on the way up to the mountain where the river originates. So, I was able to hike to a waterfall both in the upper reaches of the river, and a little further down. Continue reading From waterdrip to waterfall

One, two, and gone!
Today, I said goodbye to South Tyrol and continued to Slovenia, where I will spend the second (slightly shorter) part of my vacation. On the way, however, I made a a final stop in Italy. Again, I followed the motto of the last two days: A lake is needed, or better yet, more! Continue reading One, two, and gone!

Prags, not Prague
Today, on my last (full) day in South Tyrol, I visited another tourist hot spot: Pragser Wildsee, also known by its Italian name Lago di Braies. Continue reading Prags, not Prague

Look at this lake!
Today, the weather was supposed to be a bit more unstable again. However, the latest days with “changeable” weather actually turned out quite nice. So, I decided to go on a little hike nonetheless – just down in the valley: I hiked to and around Toblacher See, after spotting it yesterday from the bus window. Continue reading Look at this lake!
