FIELD TRIP: BLED - KOBARID - PIRAN
The field trip will start early but you will soon forget about your lack of sleep when we arrive at the fairy-tale-like lake of Bled recognizable by its distinctive island and a church on top of it. You can enjoy the morning fresh air on a walk or taste the culinary delight of Bled, the famous Bled Cream Pie. Our path will lead us over the Italian border, where we will pass a small and narrow town of Trbiž (Tarvisio) and continue to Rabeljsko lake (Lago del Predil), where we will make a short stop and enjoy the view. Then we will return back to Slovenia and stop at Fort Kluže near the town of Bovec. The history of the fort reaches back to antiquity and has changed many masters during the centuries of its existence. |
Kobarid is our next destination. With its museum, devoted to Isonzo Front during the Great War, where soldiers fought in extreme alpine conditions it is a destination no student of history should miss. Our last stop will be the coastal town of Piran, with fascinating Mediterranean architecture and history where you will have enough time to take a dip in the sea, explore the local cuisine or just enjoy the view and exchange your impressions with fellow ISHA people. We are sure you will have much to talk about on our way back to Ljubljana and hope that you will get a feeling of the proverbial small size and diversity of our tiny country where you can climb the mountains and dive in the sea in a single day. |
