Predaselj

The Kamniška Bistrica valley is right under my nose, yet there are many places I haven't visited yet. For example, the river cut a gorge named Predaselj, up to 30 meters deep, which is a wonderful sight, but I don't think I ever climbed down the steep slope to the small area where the river appears from a rocky gorge only to disappear again after some ten or twenty meters.

Blejski Vintgar Gorge

Blejski Vintgar Gorge in the winter? Why not? :)
Well, the path through the gorge is actually closed, and after ignoring the 'no entry' sign and spending one hour there, I know why. I almost got killed a few times by the falling icicles! The footbridges were slippery in places, but at least I could take photos with a tripod as there were virtually no people around. Actually, I did meet a few other 'trespassers' and they were all foreign tourists! Needless to say, they all loved the place.





I was pleasantly surprised there were so many red leaves left from the fall. They made for a nice addition to the otherwise bleak wintry brownish surroundings.
