Sights of Slovenia!

Posted Republic of Slovenia
Ljubljana, the capital and largest city in Slovenia.  It is located about 40 minutes drive South of where I stayed in Bled. One of its sister cities in the US is Cleveland.  But it is WAY prettier than Cleveland.

Me with Bled lake.  The church on the island is called the Assumption of Mary Church and it is actually quiet pretty on the inside.  Also it is good luck to ring the bell of the bell tower three times (so I did).

Me with the Julian Alps in the background.  those mountains form the border between Slovenia and Austria.  This was probably a 5 minute walk from my hostel.

The Vintgar Gorge or Bled Gorge is a 1.6-kilometer (0.99 mi) gorge in northwestern Slovenia in the municipalities of Gorje and Bled, four kilometers northwest of Bled.  It is very pretty and the fall leave made it even more dramatic.

Triglav National Park (TNP) is the only national park in Slovenia. It was established in its modern form in 1981 and is located in the northwestern part of the country, respectively the southeastern part of the Alpine massif.

Me on the island of Lake Bled with the Assumption of Mary Church.  The bell tower is 171 feet high and you can walk to the top.
