SLOVENIA

                                                                       Sevnica and surrounding

Tips: You can buy good and suitable walking maps in Slovenia. The marks on the routes were well maintained and easy to see. Coming from the north ( Austria, Germany) the lakes near Bled are beautiful , you still can see the mountains of Austria, but Slovenia has, further on in the south, other beautiful walk-areas .Once we had a problem in finding a place to sleep, but with help from the local ex-postman in Videm, who makes his loft available, that problem also was solved.
