kranjska gora, slovenia, SI

what a nice week spent with whole family at alpine lake jasna above kranjska gora in slovenia 😃

even in summertime ice cold lake jasna (jezero jasna)

we like slovenia a lot. the last few times we have been here just for short stop-overs at our way to croatia. this time we stayed longer and it was really worth the time spent ...

our former visits to slovenia / slovenija:

• ljubljana 1+2
• lake bled and the bled castle
• izola ~ istria peninsula
• piran ~ istria peninsula ~ beautiful
• koper ~ istria peninsula ~ difficult ~ always our petrol station break when driving to premantura some 15 km south of pula / istria / HR and winding around the 10-15 km distance of slovenian highway for which they charge full weekly or monthly fee. shame on them! 👿

also this time was slovenia our stop-over between natz, south tirol IT and premantura, croatia HR 😇🚗🍀. i like stop overs, you know? what about a dinner in weidegg, kärnten, austria AT?
