One of the most known facts about my hometown Jesenice is, that in May the northern slopes above the town get covered in a white blanket of daffodils (Narcissus poeticus). It’s really an extraordinary sight to see meadows turn completely white. Each year many tourists and photographers visit the villages above Jesenice (like Plavški rovt, Jeseniški […]
I wanted to visit the frozen landscape in Karavanke mountain range one last time before the thaw. Struska planina is known for it’s strong winds which turn the trees into frozen statues. In the middle of the ascent the moon started to appear on the sky. Behind me, Golica mountain looked pretty majestic. The highest peak […]
As you probably all know by now, Bled is one of the most beautiful places in Slovenia that draws almost one million visitors each year. Most choose to visit Bled in spring or summer, but in my opinion the most beautiful time to visit is in winter, on a clear day after the snow. Unfortunately days like […]
I decided to photograph Bled from a completely different perspective this time. I wanted to capture Bled castle and the church of st. Andrej on Rečica together with the sun rising somewhere in-between. In the lower part of the image you can see the picturesque village Gorje. I was scouting for a good location for […]
Bled is one of the most photogenic places in Slovenia and if you are lucky enough to catch the sunrise on a foggy day, you will be awarded with spectacular views. I arrived very early that day since I wanted to make some night panoramas also, and not just the sunrise. As the sunrise was […]
Slemenova Spica is one of the most popular hills amidst spectacular Julian Alps. It is a wonderful grassy viewpoint close to our highest road mountain pass – Vršič. The starting point is very high, the path is simple and not too long, towering walls and incredible views surround us throughout. A trip for everyone who […]

It is known as Hochstuhl in German (meaning ‘High Chair’) or Veliki Stol (which is Slovenian for ‘Great Chair’) and has an elevation of 2,236 m. It’s not as high as the peaks in Julian Alps, but the altitude of the starting point is very […]
Mojstrovka is one of the most prominent peaks in the Julian Alps. It’s easily accessible from the south side, while the north one presents more of a challenge. I usually take the north side (a lot of climbing, but well secured), but this time around I took the south trail. The descent was in almost […]
I already visited the Dolomites once this year in early June when I stayed at Cortina d’Ampezzo. This time I visited Corvara, a comune (municipality) in South Tyrol in northern Italy, located about 40 kilometres (25 mi) east of Bolzano. This trip was all about cycling over the big mountain passes of the Dolomites like Falzarego, Pordoi and […]
Recently the heat wave in Slovenia got worse and the temperature went well over 35 degrees Celsius. As a getaway from the unbearable conditions we decided to go much higher for a few days. And since my training for the Tortour cycling race is at it’s peak, Grossglockner high alpine road seemed like an obvious […]
