No Soca fields

The town is Kanal ob Soci as it lies on the Soca river and Slovenian names change their endings according to unfathomable rules.
A bridge too far fetched
2019年8月10日, スロベニア ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Had to include this rather uninteresting bridge just outside Gorizia as it claims to be the longest stone arch in the world. It was built by the Italians after the first WW.

Stohlen moments

Stohl mountain (1668m) rises from Breginj and I popped up to see the view one day. The ascent was by a 45 degree slope from the valley to the summit as you can see. No trick photography.

I know - its a bit of an old saw.
Check out the two man chainsaw and the gate.
The old castle was actually built as a forestry protection station rather than as a fort.

The little town of Osor where the bridge linking the 2 parts of Losinj lies, is really quite charming and usually bypassed.

Arboretum Trsteno

Trsteno is a charming little harbour good for an afternoon swim; but the house is empty and falling down. Probably the owners can't afford fixing it and want too much money to sell it.
