Walking Underneath A Waterfall In Slovenia

Triglav National Park, SLOVENIA: After a strenuous hiking tour in the Soca Valley, this time we went to visit two waterfalls and the lake and the town of Bled. The first waterfall was actually located by chance on the road. The second waterfall was the famous Pericnik.

The special thing about this waterfall is that you can go underneath it. This is quite impressive and not often possible with other waterfalls in the world. The last thing we did was to visit the lake Bled and the castle at the lake. Unfortunately, the museum was not very interesting. The view was pretty much the only thing that was interesting but still worth seeing.

🌊 The Emerald Beauty | Exploring the Soča River in Slovenia

Soča Valley, SLOVENIA: We decided at relatively short notice to go to Slovenia for camping. Slovenia is not too far away from where we live and yet it is a new country for both of us. The region is the Triglav National Park and is quite touristic. The trip took place at the end of July 2020 and the campsites were full.

Driving From Aosta to our Home at 1800m Near Doues 🇮🇹

DOUES, ITALY: For the way from Aosta to our house near Doues at 1800m altitude we had to drive down and up this way every day. The temperature drops significantly by up to 10 degrees Celsius due to the difference in altitude. However, the route and the landscape are unique and not boring.

🏰 Exploring Saint Germain Castle Ruin | Hidden Gem of the Aosta Valley

AOSTA VALLEY, ITALY: On a trip through the Valle d’Aosta we noticed an impressive old castle ruin on a hill. The old ruin was Saint Germain Castle. The ruin can be reached from a small parking place at an old church directly over a short but steep footpath. The ruin was surrounded by a fence, but the gate was open and we could visit it. Unfortunately there is very little to know about this ruin. The castle is said to have been abandoned since the 1660s and was probably built around the 13th century.

Visiting Castle Verres In The Italian Aosta Valley 🇮🇹

VERRES, ITALY: The Valle d’Aosta is a fantastic area in the north of Italy in the middle of the Alps. The valley borders directly on Switzerland and France and has the highest and most beautiful mountains in Europe, Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. The valley is a wonderful destination for hikes to the peaks of the mountains or for exploring the numerous historical sites dating back to Roman times of over 2000 years ago.

Hiking To The 2700m High Col De Champillon In The Italian Aosta Valley 🇮🇹

DOUES, ITALY: For a hike we have chosen the Col de Champillon. The starting point of the route was only a few minutes by car above our house and situated at an altitude of approx. 2040m from the village of Doues. The start took place from a parking lot over high mountain meadows up to the mountain refuge Champillon. Then there was a very steep ascent of about 50 degrees to the end of the hike on the Col de Champillon ridge at 2700m altitude. The visit of the ridge is rewarded with a view to different peaks of the Alps, among them the Mont Blanc.
