12th Ljubljana marathon

This Sunday a traditional 12th Internatinal Ljubljana marathon was held in the centre of Ljubljana. Despite bad weather conditions more than 8000 runners applied for marathon, halfmarathon and recreational run.

It was a great event and hopefuly someday I too will join the runners.

Blejski vintgar


Vintgar
Originally uploaded by Crt Ahlin

Blejski vintgar (gorge) is one of the top three most visited tourist locations in Slovenia. It is located near Bled lake, perhaps 15 minutes drive away at most. There is a wooden pathway along most of its lenght of some good three kilometres. The gorge is quite narrow (that's why it's a gorge) and so is the pathway. You have to watch not to bang your head at the rock face in some places. Plus be sure to wear warm clothes, as it gets quite cold if you linger. It ends with a waterfall. (Or starts, if you start your journey at the downstream entrance.) There is an entrance fee, used for maintaining the pathway and cleaning the gorge daily.
