Faaker See – spomini /memories

Lansko leto sva se za vikend oddih odpravila na bližnje avstrijsko jezerce – Faaker see. Ker nisem imela časa za objavo na blogu, je sedaj čas le za obujanje spominov preko fotografij. Ne bom pozabila čudovitih razgledov, poti bosonožcev, zagrajenih privat plaž (kar nam, Slovencem, ni najbolj poznano :)), lepih gozdov in pomankanja časa, da bi oblezla vse okoliške ferate in hribe. Foto utrinki spodaj. Super vikend družinski izlet! Tudi z otroki se da videti marsikaj, od gore Opic (Affenberg) do poti bosonožcev, ki jo vodi pravljica o zmaju ipd.

Last year we went on a weekend trip in Austria. Their Faaker See is near and very beautiful. We didn’t have time to wright a blog so this is just some memories in photos. I won’t forget breathtaking views, The barefoot road in forest, private beaches with no access for tourists, nice forests and the lack of time to visit and climbing all the mountains around the lake. You can see few photos bellow – it can be a great family getaway, there is plenty things to do with children – from Monkey mountain (affenberg) to barefoot road in the forest (the red line of the road is a fairy tale about a dragon) etc. Enjoy!😉

Izleti po Sloveniji

Živjo! Zadnje dni je bilo časa premalo, da bi svoje dogodivščine delila z vami na blogu, zato sva se odločila, da zadnjih nekaj združiva v enem postu. Glede na to, da se bližajo prazniki in bo časa malo več, morda kdo od vas najde kakšno luštno idejo za potepanje po lepi naši … 🙂

1. Ferata  Hvadnik – lahka plezalna pot

Pot se nahaja v Kranjski Gori, natančneje v Gozdu Martuljku. Primerna je tako za mlajše  kot tudi za starejše plezalce. Seveda boste potrebovali plezalni pas, čelado in samovarovalni komplet. Če ste bolj amaterske vrste, kot midva, in svoje opreme še nimate, si jo lahko sposodite v Planinskem muzeju Slovenije (KLIK). Izposoja ni draga, so pa super prijazni! 🙂 Ko sva se primerno opremila za varno pohajkovanje, sva se podala na pot. Pot je primerno označena, le na začetku sva se malo lovila – za začetek prečkate potok Hvadnik in se po levi strani podate navzgor, kjer vas kmalu pričakajo zajle, klini in čudoviti razgledi. Več o ferati najdete na: KLIK

2. Dovžanova soteska

Izlet je primeren za hiter družinski skok v naravo, midva sva si privoščila sproščanje na lepo sredino popoldne. Pot se začne na parkirišču v vasi Čadovlje pri Tržiču. Soteska je zanimiva zato, ker je bilo nekdaj tu tropsko morje in v njej lahko najdete ostanke fosilov. Ker je tako stara, je narava še veličastnejša. Na voljo imate kar nekaj učnih poti, več si lahko preberete na: KLIK

3. Rakov škocjan

Zopet ena lepših slovenskih sotesk z rečico Rak. Soteska je nastala z udiranjem kraške jame, zato so vidni čudoviti mostovi in razgledi, ki vzamejo dih. Park je pod UNESCOvo zaščito, več o poteh pa si lahko preberete tu: KLIK Ob najinem obisku je bilo območje poplavljeno zaradi velike obilice dežja, ki se je na močvirnatih tleh seveda dobro obdržalo. Je pa zato nastalo nekaj lepih fotografij.

V bližini si lahko ogledate še Cerkniško jezero, kjer je možna izposoja kanujev.

Imela pa sva tudi priložnost videti poplavljeno Planinsko polje, ki je imelo prav tako poseben čar.

4. Lovrenška jezera

Še en izlet, odličen za družine. Pot se začne na Rogli in ni daljša od ure in pol v eno smer. Teren je raven, vzpne se zelo malo. Natančno izhodišče in opis jezerc najdete tukaj: KLIK Fotografije pa naj povedo kaj več o razgledih. 🙂

 

5. Potočka zijalka in Olševa

Malo daljša pot od prejšnih, ki se začne v majhni vasici Sveti duh pod Olševo. Pot vas vodi do Potočke zijalke, ki se jo verjetno vsi spomnite iz osnovne šole – verjetno bi jo hitro našli v testu za zgodovino. Če potrebujete osvežitev spomina, prilagam link: KLIK

Pot lahko nadaljujete proti gori Olševi. Hodi se po grebenih, tako da se ves čas odpirajo čudoviti razgledi proti dolini.

6. Srčkasta cesta v vinogradih

In za konec – še malo romantike. Srčkasto cesto najdete na turistični kmetiji Dreisibner. Do nje se zapeljete z avtomobilom, hoja ni potrebna, tako da s seboj lahko vzamete prav vse družinske člane – babice, dedke in svoje najmlajše. Več o lokaciji in ponudbi najdete TUKAJ.

Pripis: Vse najine poti nama popestri tudi Geocaching ali po naše:  iskanje malih zakladkov. Če imate otroke ali otrok živi v vas, tudi to toplo priporočava. 🙂

Cycling Parenzana (Italy – Slovenia – Croatia)

Hello again!

Last week we went on a bike tour wich starts in Italy (Trieste) and is lined trough Slovenia and Croatia to the city called “Poreč”. It used to be train road there in the history. You can read more about it HERE. On this official website you can also find maps and plans for the trip (either you want to cycle the path in two, three, four or five days). It is 123 km long with some amazing tunnels, bridges and viaducts.

We started cycling in Italian city called Muggia because there is a lot of traffic in Trieste so we avoided typical Italian drivers.  😛

First day we drove from Muggia (Italy) to Grožnjan (Croatia) where we slept. It is an amazing, calm, small city wich is known for its artistic residents.

In day two we made it to Poreč (Croatia). Time for a jump in the sea! 🙂 An amazing cycling trip, I recommend it to everyone! 123 kilometers, one flat tire, hundred amazing views, six tired asses, few drops of rain and a ton of laughter! 🙂

Thank you for reading. 😉 It’s a pleasure to share my adventures with you all!

 

 

Vintgar (near Bled, sLOVEnia)

After work we take a short trip to Vintgar … It was a great place to relax, to enjoy the beauty of nature … HERE is the official site. Vintgar is very close to lake Bled wich is one of top 10 tourist attractions in Slovenia, so Vintgar is not so crowdy, because not a lot of tourists know about it. The temperature is great for summer days.

Great place to chill! 😉 Thank you for reading. 😉

Hiking – Raduha (2064 m – Slovenia)

Since I am so busy these days, Saturday was the best – hiking a mountain Raduha, spending all day in nature. The path is great, you can choose from “difficult path” or “very difficult path”. We went up trough very difficult and down trough difficult. The view was awesome!

On the way up…

The peak itself 🙂

Lanež

This is the mountain half an hour away from Raduha -it has a small edition of “Aljažev stolp” on it. You can find the real “Aljažev stolp” on Triglav – Slovenian highest mountain. 🙂

Grohat

On the way down,  we stopped at mountain meadow “Grohat” for some food and the great view of the mountain we just have been on. The staff is very friendly, kind and talkative. The food is amazing and not expensive at all! We drank Radler & apple juice and we ate 2 dishes “Ajdovi žganci” & “ješprenj” and we only paid 12 €! 🙂

This was amazing day, I recommend this hike to all mountain lovers out there. 😉

Malta in May – day 7 (Ghajn Tuffieha bay)

Last day – time for some rest after all the hikes and wandering around. First, we visited the Golden bay.

Than we went for a short walk to Ghajn Tuffieha bay – we spent the time swimming, playing cards & reading a good book. 🙂 In the evening we went to say good-bye to our Malta scout friend – Gail. — Thank you so much for everything… I think you can never feel the culture if you don’t talk and bond to a native. 🙂

Malta in May – day 6 (Marsaxlokk)

Almost the last day of our holidays – we went in a small town with famous Maltese boats – Luzus. 🙂

Than we went on a short hike to Saint Paul’s pool. Full of jellyfishes & we met that dog and his owner there when he told us they are famous! 🙂 We met Titti – the diving dog. Video below. 😉

Here is the video of our new friend – they didn’t jump that day because of the jellyfishes 🙂 But still – it was nice to meet them. 🙂

Malta in May – day 5 (Gozo)

We talked about Malta and Comino and on day 5 we visited the third island – Gozo! 🙂

You get on ferry from Il Ćirkewa and the ticket cost 4, 65 € both was – there are some differences if you travel at night-time, if you have a car/a bike … The problem is that all the buses on Gozo drives once an hour and it all takes you back to its capital – Rabat/Victoria, where you can catch another. Again – we walked a lot! 🙂

Here are some highlights of our trip:

Ex Azure window (it crashed a few months ago 🙂

mushroom island

This is all in Dwejra bay. 🙂 From there we went to Ramla bay – one of island most favourite beaches with red/oker sand.

Ramla bay

And from there we went for a really long hike – WARNING – paths are misleading. It looks like there is a path even application “Maps.me” (it’s navigation where you don’t need internet connection – great app for all the travellers!) says so. You can walk up to several kilometers when the path ends or it is full of rocks, thorns and other difficulties. But it was a great adventure! 😀

Salt pans

And for the end… we found one of the buses from the past. 🙂 They are quite famous. 🙂

Malta in May – day 4 (Comino)

There are 3 different islands in “Malta”: Malta, Gozo and Comino – the last one is the smallest with only a few residents. It has an amazing beach called Blue lagoon and some amazing cliffs. We went for a hike around the island (3 hours) and here are the photos. 🙂

Blue lagoon ❤

You can get to the island with small boats – we gave 10 € per person (both ways). 🙂

Cliffs, caves, beaches … 🙂

Land…

& some facts … 🙂

Comino

Situated between Malta and Gozo, the smaller island of Comino is a paradise for snorkelers, divers, windsurfers and ramblers.

Only 3.5 square kilometers, Comino is car-free and apart from one hotel, is virtually uninhabited.

The island’s main attraction is the Blue Lagoon. In summer, this sheltered inlet of shimmering aquamarine water over white sand is very popular with day-trippers. Other beaches on the island include Santa Marija Bay and San Niklaw Bay.

Comino is also worth a visit in winter, and is ideal for walkers and photographers. With no urban areas or cars on the island, one can easily smell the scent of wild thyme and other herbs.

Comino was inhabited in the Roman period, but did not have much significance until the Knights arrived. It then had a dual role: hunting grounds and a staging post in the defence of the Maltese Islands against the Ottoman Turks.

The island had proved a useful base for pirates operating in the central Mediterranean and, though stark and barren today, it was home to wild boar and hares when the Knights arrived in 1530. The Grandmasters went to great lengths to ensure that their game on Comino was protected: anyone found breaking the embargo on hunting could expect to serve three years rowing on a galley.

After WWII, Comino remained a backwater until its fortunes revived with tourism in the mid-1960s.

Where to Stay

Comino has one resort hotel, which is ideal for those looking for a tranquil getaway.

Malta in May – day 3 (Valetta, Blue Grotto …)

1. Valetta

The third day we spontaneously end up in Valetta in the morning. 🙂 Cute city at the seaside – it is totally different from our capital city in Slovenia.

 

2. Blue Grotto

10 € for a beautiful boat ride. It lasted around 20 minutes and we went into some caves – Blue grotto is the one with amazingly blue coloured water. They believed that the caves are homes for some mermaids. 🙂 We didn’t see any, but the water and light are really playing some magical games with each other. 🙂

3. Anchor bay with Popeye village

We didn’t enter the village because there was a lot of people, so we decided to take a hike from anchor bay to Golden bay. 🙂 We walked for two hours and the views were amazing.

 4. Hike from Anchor bay to Golden bay
