Slovenia

The next day in Slovenia we visited Korita Mostnice. The part I was not so pleased with in Slovenia was that when you started walking, after half a kilometer you would find a cabin with a guy that asked money to get into the park. I don't mind paying for something, but at least they can let you know ahead. The fact that you 1st walk half of a kilometer and then find out didn't sound that nice to me. Luckily we never were without money. The money was to take care of the trails... stupid...cause the trails were just untouched, so why would they have to invest money in it. I'd rather have they said it were taxes... but anyways, that was a little frustration, but typicly for Slovenia, cause it was not the 1st park we had to pay, after half a kilometer. In Korita Mostnice we saw a deep cleft. The bridge over that cleft is known as the devilsbridge. The cleft is filled with green water, it was very nice to see. There was water all around. Rocks and water were perfect for pictures, as you know I like those kind of environments very much. After the cleft we walked up to a waterfall: slap Mostnica. (Slap means waterfall in the Slovenian language.) But 1st we needed to do a diaperchange for Eliana, so, perfect time to have a little stop at a local cabin that was a little restaurant. We hiked some more and finaly saw the nice waterfall. We had to walk the same way back, so, that meant going by the restaurant again. This time we ordened some hot chocolate and delicious pancakes, boy they were good! After our stop there we could take another road to the car, what which we did. We contiued our way to another "slap", yeah, I love "slaps". Again same storry, paying for parking and then a bit furhter to see the fall. Slap Savica was one we could reach with several stairs. It was not a long way to go, the previous one was about 5km, but this one we reached in about 20 minutes. The fall was bigger but you could not get that close to it. It even took some time to get some good shots, because the fall was situated behind a fence, so it was like... waiting in a row to get a good picture.












































Notice the fish in the green water.
