 What attracts visitors in the winter as a ski jump turns into a great summer activity. The Wold's biggest ski jumping hill becomes Wold's steepest zipline. Is it really? Try it out and let me know whether it is or it isn't.
If you are not into an adrenalin rush you can walk up ski jumps, small or big, the view is better than at the bottom of a valley. Last renovation brought a cable railway, making it even easier to see the view.

 Many people call this waterfall, Waterfall Kozjak, one of the most beautiful or one of the most picturesque waterfalls of them all. I would definitely agree with them.
It is situated not too far from Kobarid in western Slovenia. The trail to the waterfall starts not far from town Kobarid, near the Kobarid – Drežnica road. Coming from Kobarid, there is a turnoff to the falls soon after the intersection beside the Napoleon Bridge. The trail is undemanding and quite rewarding at the end. A perfect combination for many. The last part of the trail takes you through the forest along the Kozjak stream, but you don’t get to see the waterfall till the very end, since it is caught within a stony natural amphitheater.
You reach the waterfall by crossing elevated wooden bridge-trails, which lead you to the edge of a cave. The waterfall itself is only 15 m tall, but as I said,it is truly beautiful.
 When I was preparing photographs for the Vintgar Gorge I have realized I have none landscape oriented. Gorge, as you probably all know, is incredibly narrow valley that was carved through millenniums by the stream, Radovna in this case. In fact it is so narrow there is no natural path to walk through the gorge. Luckily eager members of tourist association have placed more than a century ago wooden trail and made it easily visited.
It's vicinity to Bled and very easy accessible made it exceedingly popular among tourists. Since there is just one path it is not easy to escape the crowds and it just might be possible, that you get stuck in a slow paced crowd. Which wouldn't be a big problem by itself. But if you are In search of some good photographs you might need your own pace. But don't panic. There are still options. The best is to come as early as possible. If you like sleeping late, don't worry you will still be able to escape the crowd on some places.
The gorge is closed in the winter and it is expected to be opened next week (17. April 2017).
In case you were wondering, I cropped a picture to get panorama at the top of this article.
 Bled is one of top three visited places in Slovenia, but even if afraid of the crowds, worth visiting as the area is vast and you can adjust your visit. Whether for summer swim in a refreshing lake or ice skating on it's frozen surface. Maybe for famous Bled's Cremeschnitte cake or to enjoy a stunning view from Bled's castle atop of the cliff like mountain.
On the lake wooden pletnas are rowing to the island, where visitors can walk up impressive stairs, 99 of them, towards the wishing bell to make their desired wish. Bled has many activities and a variety of accommodation possibilities, from 5 star hotels to hostels, from camping grounds to glamorous camping known shortly as glamping.

TjašaAfter writing a blog in Slovenian language for 10 years I have finally come to my sense and started writing one in English as well. I'll share with you beautiful places worth visiting in Slovenia and around it. I'll also talk about general things tourist should know and of course I'll write about food, drinks and accommodation, essentials for any visitor. I am writing about my personal recommendations that are not influenced by any sponsors. Categories
