Logarska Dolina

A great game.....followed by a long drive back to Slovenia to the remote, and WAY off the beaten path, the Logarska Dolina.  Dolina, in Slovenian, means valley.  I made reservations at a hotel in the Logarska Dolina, but we arrived at 2AM in the PITCH black and went up to what we THOUGHT was the hotel.  D rang the bell many times but there was no answer.  We resigned ourselves to sleeping in the car until daylight.  Turning on the car to get heat a few times over the course of the morning, we managed a few hours of sleep.  As the night turned to day, we found the hotel and checked-in.  Our little car sleep saved us some money.

This is what we woke up to, the Logarska Dolina.

After a few hours of sleep in a real bed, we got up and took a drive on the panoramic road.

D doing her best Julie Andrews in the Sound of Music!

This part of Slovenia is just south of the Austria/Slovenia border.  Over that ridge....Austria.

Along the drive, we saw this ladder, so you know we had to climb it.

This is the view of the Logarska Dolina, from the panoramic road, on this beautiful day, was the BEST moment!

Flanking Logarska Dolina, are two parallel valleys.  Here's the Matkov Kot.

Back down in the Logarska Dolina, here's whats at the "end", a wall of rock.
