NORTH WEST SLOVENIA

On my recent visit to Slovenia, my first introduction to this stunningly beautiful landscape was the drive from Ljubljana Airport along the valley between the Italian / Slovenian Alps to the west and the Triglav National Park to the east, finally crossing a twisting over mountain pass to town of Bovec. These jagged mountain peaks, rising high into the clouds above, provide a breathtaking beauty of forested slopes and bare, exposed grey mountain tops blending into the clouds above. The first thing that strikes you is the abundance of natural woodland stretching in every direction as far as the eye could see, broken only in places by small farmsteads and scattered homes, cameos in this green woodland blending into nature perfectly.
