po Sloveniji /Around Slovenia: Gorenjska region

Prejšnji teden sva se potepala sama, brez tamalega. To se nama ne zgodi pogosto, pravzaprav sva nazadnje sama preživela vikend pred štirimi leti. Med vožnjo sem se spraševala, kaj bova delala. No, on je vozil, kuhal… jaz pa preveč govorila.

Last weekend we were traveling alone, without our little boy. That is not common, in fact we were alone for the weekend four years ago. During the car drive I was wondering about our weekend plans. Well, my husband drove, cooked… and I was talking too much.

Če se iz naše doline peljemo na Gorenjsko, je postanek v Zelencih skoraj obvezen. Tam sva bila že zjutraj in v miru uživala lepoto kraja.

If you are headed to Gorenjska region from our home valley, you must stop at Zelenci. We were there early in the morning and enjoyed the beauty of the place.

Najprej sva se povzpela na Ciprnik, ki ima čudovit razgled na dolino Planice in sosednje gore. Tisti z dobrim vidom lahko opazijo Zelence in tudi Triglav v nasprotni smeri. Planiška velikanka je resnično velika, tudi, ko jo gledaš “od zgoraj”.
First, we reached the top of mountain Ciprnik with a wonderful view on Planica valley and surrounding mountain. Those with a good eyesight can see Zelenci and also Triglav in the opposite direction. Ski flying hill in Planica is big, even when it's observed from the hill above it.

Ustavila sva se pri jezeru Jasna, kjer je sicer veliko kopalcev. Pomočila sem noge v ledeno vodo, kar je bilo po celodnevni hoji prav prijetno. Plavanje pa je za pogumne, mednje jaz ne spadam.

We stopped at lake Jasna, where were a lot of swimmers. I dipped my legs into the freezing cold water, which was actually nice after walking whole day. Swimming is only for courageous people and I'm not one of them.

Kozolci so del zgodovine, zato sem bila presenečena, ko sem zagledala enega, postavljenega čisto na novo.

Hayracks are part of our history, for this reason I was quite surprised, that also new one is built nowadays.

Šla sva tudi do slapa Peričnik in po dolini Vrata. Slap je lep zaradi vode, ki teče čez skalne previse. Lahko se gre tudi za slap. To, da se zraven zmočiš, je čisto super. Pravzaprav sta dva slapa, spodnji višji in zgornji manjši. Oba se splača pogledati.

We also visited Peričnik waterfall and valley Vrata. The waterfall is amazing because of the water falling over rocks. It's possible to go behind the waterfall. Getting wet was a part of the experience. Acually, there are two waterfalls, lower and upper, and both are worth seeing.

Obisk doline Tamar je zelo popularen, po cesti je bilo namreč veliko turistov. Midva sva šla do izvira Nadiže v skalni steni. Nadiža izvira v dolini Tamar, ponikne in pride zopet na površje kot Sava Dolinka v Zelencih.

Visiting valley Tamar is very popular, the road was crowded with tourists. We prolonged out trip to the Nadiža spring in the rocky wall and found out that Nadiža comes out in Tamar valley, then disappeares and comes to the surface at Zelenci as Sava Dolinka.
