Photo journey through Slovenia. A quick one.:)

in #photography7 years ago

Hello guys. Hey girls.

I am doing a little photo journey of Slovenia, my beautiful home. Most of the photos were taken by me, with couple exceptions in the end.

Slovenia is a small member or European Union. It is inhabited by aprox. 2 mio people. It borders Italy, Austria, Hungary and Croatia. 60% of Slovenia are forests and landscape is overall very diverse. From unique Karst region, to coastline, Alpine Mountains and neverending wineyards.

Lake Cerknica is truly an inspirational place. It is an intermittent lake, which means that it drains out during the summer and autumn. It drains through sinkholes which can be seen in the first few pictures. Photographies were taken very early in the morning in the beginning of october.

Cities in Slovenia are small and somehow special. Every town has a distinct feature and it's own historical background. This lands have been settled for many years and a lot of the cities lay on the ruins of roman colonies. Ljubljana (Emona), Ptuj (Poetovio), Celje (Celea) and many more. Photographies were not taken by me.

Bled and the Alpine region are the two most wanted destinations in Slovenia. Nature is stunning and landscapes roll over horizon.

Beautiful pictures man ! It makes me want to pack my bag and buy a ticket to Slovenia.

Thank you. It is really diverse and packed in a very small area. You can visit almost everything in a day:).

Krasne fotke. Jaz sem pa ravno zdaj kolesaril okrog blatnega jezera, ampak pač, to ni osnovna tematika o kateri pišem tukaj na steemitu (Eng: Beautiful photos. I have just cycled around Balaton lake (Hungary), but that is not really thing I write about here on Steemit ) :)

O Slovenci, se bo pocas splacal ze v slovenscini pisat :)

Mogoče pa res :) Imam za foro že par naših sledilcev. Pa vsi bili ziher da so prvi na Steemu iz te male državice :P

Hehehe. Malo se, pa res:)

Hvala. Vidim ja, finance. Zanimivo, čeprav tud balaton ne bi bil slab post:). Sledim.!

Saj vem. Če opišem pot z eno besedo... : nemci :D Vse nepremičnine okoli so pokupili. Kam pogledaš, so razkošne vile ali pa fensi bajte. Okolica izjemno urejena, cene približno iste kot pri nas, mogoče malo nižje (cca -10%). Zelo ohranjeni gradovi, nekatere uporabijo kar v turistične namene. Sam sem obiskal grad Szigliget (krasen razgled). Južna stran poti polna turistov, restavracij, kavarn.... severna stran manj naseljena in prijetna za razglede -tukaj pot vodi skozi nacionalni park. Vidiš lahko tudi njihove klasične gradnje (strehe iz trstike). Fotke pa si lahko vsak pogleda na googlu ;)

Ufff, hvala. Ne bi si mislil, da se nemci tolko zanimajo za te kraje. Kak so pa stroški bivanja na Madžarskem?

prespal sem dva krat. Enkrat na vzhodni (Balatonalmadi) in enkrat na zahodni strani (Keszthely). Cene so seveda odvisne od tega kako je kdo izbirčen. So pa malo nižje od naših. Še nižje so pa izven turističnih krajev. Na vzhodni strani sem koristil booking.com in si rezerviral hostel. Žal so v okolici imeli že vse pokupljeno, tako da sem tukaj moral koristiti 2 posteljno sobo. Cena 30 eur. Kar pomeni,če gresta 2 je cena na osebo polovična. Na drugi strani v Keszthelyju sem pa koristil CS(couchsurfing), kar pomeni sicer zastonj bivanje, ampak "plačaš" z daljšim pogovorom in razlago kje si že vse bil, kaj si doživel itd... Sicer pa odvisno v katerem kraju si želiš ostati. Npr. v kraju Siofok (JV stran), ki je izjemno urejen in razvit turističen kraj, je cena znatno višja kot kje drugje.

Slovenia looks beautiful! We are hoping to travel to Ljubljana next year but Nova Mesto looks lovely too, and the countryside looks incredible. Thank you for sharing!

Yes:). It think you will not regret coming here. Best of luck!

Very beautiful, @shimelin! You made great photos!

Thank you! It's easy when everything looks amazing:).

Beautiful shots. Just love the shot of the church steeples against the mountains.

Thank you! Some sites are pretty spectacular.:)
