Savica Waterfall, Slovenia

A great card coming from Sean and his recent trip to Slovenia.

Bohinj is one of those places in Slovenia you probably can never get tired of...it has its beauty spots just all around it! The Savica waterfall/spring is one of those beauty spots. It runs over a 38 m long level and falls almost 51 m in depth and is considered as one of the most famous and most beautiful waterfall in the country.

On a side note, since I've already written and written about Bohinj before, you can check out this cool post by Sean, called, "10 Random Observations About Slovenia" on Gadling. Seems that number 6 is something really more like a habit on the Balkans, which foreigners find amusing...and I don't know if Italians find it appalling actually :)
And later, just click on Sean's name, and it will take you to all his other posts about his travels...there is something for everyone;s interest and entertainment :)

I guess you know the flower stamp from 2007, showing the Saw-wort :)

thanks sooo much again Sean!!

Bohinj, Slovenia

I dont know why all the cards showing Bohinj have to be sooo breathtaking!

You can make a quick comparison with my two other Bohinj cards, here and here.
And this card itself is also so outstanding coz of its panoramic view....ahh, fantastisch!
It is said that compared to Bled, Bohinj is not so crowded with tourists and the atmosphere here is very peaceful and tranquil....just perfect for someone like me who hates crowds.

and some very lovely stamps as well....both issued in 2009. The blue one is a greeting stamp, called "Kiss", while the yellow one is from an issue of 4 Fauna stamps and this one shows a Stag Beetle.

Bohinj, Slovenia

I think that the weather outside inspired me to post this card today. Well, its FAAAAR from beautiful as it is on the card, but its cold and snowy....yesterday during work, i went to the near market to get some chocolate...everything was normal...after like 5 minutes when i left the market, there was a blizzard! I absolutely love snow, just that there was way too much wind and it was howling at my face and it just felt extremely cold...as it did this morning....well, if possible, i would like to have mooooree snow with leeess wind...i just cant figure out this changeable weather here...

This card definitely proves that Slovenia has MAGNIFICENT places and MAGNIFICENT postcards!!! Well, honestly, there are many amazing places in Macedonia as well, just that unfortunately they either arent featured on a postcard at all or they arent presented in a nice way...but Slovenia, ah, Slovenia...places like Bohinj and Bled are breathtaking!
And the sender, Leonardo, gave a great story on the back of the card, which i will share with you...

Bohinj is an Alpine valley and a municipality in the north-west Slovenia, in the Julian Alps which were named after Julius Caesar. It is recognizable by its periglacial lake, lake Bohinj. The name Bohinj originates from the word 'Boh', an informal word meaning "God". (ok, i dont know how it is in most of the other Slavic languages, but in Macedonian, we also have the word "Bog" for "God"). Anyway, the myth says that when God was giving the land to the people, he forgot about a small group. Because they were silent, modest and patient, he felt pity for them. That's why he decided to give them the most beautiful land of them all, which he spared for himself - Bohinj.

Myths always make an interesting read...   

Bohinj, Slovenia

I definitely think that Bohinj is one of the most beautiful and a must-visit spots in Slovenia

Bohinj is an alpine valley and a municipality in north-west of Slovenia, in the Julian Alps.
It is recognizable by the lake Bohinj which is the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. It is 4.2 km long and 1 km at its maximum width. It is a glacial lake dammed by a moraine.

The nature is just beautiful....along with Bled, Bohinj makes it as one of the top favourite places in Slovenia for me...
