Pokljuka





Me and my hubby went to Pokljuka, wher we had a marvellous time.
***********************************************************************************
Pokljuka is a foresty plateau in the Slovenian Alps at the altitude of around 1300 metres (ca. 4300 ft), situated partly in the municipality of Bled and partly in municipality of Bohinj in northwestern Slovenia. It is part of the Triglav national park. The plateau is known for its winter sports facilities, among which are the yearly Biathlon World Cup meets held at Biathloncenter Pokljuka.
***********************************************************************************
It is really a plenty of snow up there - over 2 meters (ca. 6.5 feet). I heard that in our mountains already for 30 years there was not so much snow. One ski center, that lies on the altitude over 2000 (6500 ft) meters, had even over 8 meters (26 ft) of snow...However, it was sunny and really warm, so we could wear just a pullover, and enjoy the (almost) spring sun.
