We visited Kranjska Gora and stayed at the hotel Kotnik in August 2007.

The local bar with a couple of people waiting outside for it to open in 3 hours time.

The village at night when everyone is in the Bars or tucked up in bed ready for the following days adventures.

Just on the edge of the village was this absolutely stunning house, unfortunately it wasn’t for sale. When we visited it would’ve been a lot cheaper as the currency was still the tolar.

The building across the road was a small café which served the most delicious apple strudel. After walking or cycling down the valley this was a regular stop on the way back as we were desperate for a rest and some short term energy food, apple strudel certainly fits the bill.

Being an alpine climate the weather each day is different, one day it’s sunny and great for walking out of the village towards the mountains.

The next day is dull, so a gentle walk around the town.

The next day we had a storm in the morning and sun starting to appear in the afternoon.

For the religious amongst you, this is often termed “God is Smiling on You”. Whatever you’re views this is amazing.

The oddity with Slovenia is that you find a field which is grass then there will be a rectangle containing flowers and vegetables growing in the middle of nowhere. The flowers are used to attract bees and deter preditors.

As Chris Rea would say this the “Road to Nowhere”

Practicing for the Tour de France or the Giro d’Italia.

This is not a road it’s a cycle path. There are lots of these around the Slovenia alps which is great because you don’t encounter any irate motorists.

This could be Switzerland, Austria or Italy

The setting sun just catching the top of the Julian Alps.

This water fall is on the the river Sava which starts in Zelenci and ends in Belgrade where it merges in to the Danuve. This is one of the longest rivers in Europe, we have seen the start and end points along with some bits in between Ljubljana and Zagreb.

Walking to the edge of the world, it looks as though one step and that’s it. Luckily the track continues in to the valley.

This ski jump at Planica which is not far is used in the Slovenian leg of the FIS ski jump championship. It is difficult to get a picture which shows how steep it is. Standing at the top and looking down gives you vertigo, people do this for fun!

This is the last village in Slovenia, if you go one out of the village and turn to the west you are in Italy and the north you enter Austria.

The Slovenian version of fast food, aka Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Horse kebab anyone. Keith’s glad he is a vegetarian.
