Photography Friday: V is for ‘Vintgar’

Vintgar, ever heard of such a place?

Think green waters – crystal clear. Think gushing waterfalls, wooden bridges winding around cliffs covered in plants. A world away from the city lies an oasis of nature: Vintgar, Slovenia.

Back in 2008, near the end of my EUNZ scholarship exchange I was situated in the stunning Slovenia. Taking a weekend out of the city, I visited Lake Bled, where I ventured to Vogel for Paragliding and Vintgar for a nature walk. An incredible piece of nature it was!

Ngaire at VintgarI hope you liked this little piece of Slovenia. It reminded me so much of spots in New Zealand when I visited, like Karangahake Gorge.
