You know yourself you can't park on private. Would you be happy if a Bohinj guy parked on your yard or lawn? I think you don't even have one, so you don't know what PRIVATE is.

Guest12. 09. 2007 22:02:27

Well in Bohinj everything is private anyway, smarty-pants. jezen

Guest13. 09. 2007 08:23:44

Guest who doubts that the writer owns some lawn in front of him would like to explain that not all of us are farmers.

drejči13. 09. 2007 08:49:46

I think you don't need to be a farmer to know what private property means and that you don't park there.

Guest13. 09. 2007 10:00:09

True. But city dwellers also have private property and fully understand the concept, since we're not farmers we don't own meadows. The author of the previous message apparently assumes that anyone without a yard or meadow has no private property. Some farmers obviously can't grasp that someone can have much larger private property and a very good insight into what's private and what's not than a farmer with a few meadows and fields.

Planina Blato: €10 per car per day, quite a few cars, collection for about 100 days. In that time, quite some money accumulates.
Road in bad condition, parking questionable (falling rocks), parking spots for cca 20 cars. For that money, it is not certain that you will get a tire on your car upon return.
If that money were invested in maintenance works, some shared with private owners, they would say OK. But since despite collection nothing has been done, you wonder where the money goes.

The Bohinj mayor also needs a decent salary!!??

Guest21. 09. 2007 19:13:27

Good thing they don't build a road to Kredarica... you all would argue where to park... probably try if you can on Mali Triglav for free of course...

Come on, answer this "simple" question? What would Bohinj and surroundings look like if everyone could park wherever they want? Or (oh audacity) can I park on your "sacred" lawn in front of the house?

Guest22. 09. 2007 08:13:53

Then Bohinj would be full of tourists, which Bohinj residents fear. Easier to sit on a stool all day collecting parking fees than work in a restaurant full of people!!!

Guest26. 10. 2007 14:35:22

To be honest, I'm ashamed to live in the same country as the "bohinjci". Me, friends... they won't see me like that anymore so they can remain Bedanci, which I think they want too...

One less swamp in Bohinj!

Guest27. 10. 2007 15:42:09

Heh, and then after the floods the Bohinjci were offendedly wondering how people rushed en masse to help in Železniki, but supposedly no one even sniffed them... zmeden

Guest31. 10. 2007 19:51:26

Good thing they have such a dedicated warden who on the last day when still allowed by decree, even on a holiday, faithfully fills the municipal cash! zmeden

Guest1. 11. 2007 16:54:11

Yes, we all really helped the Železniki people more, but the Bohinj folks will quickly get it all back with various fees, so then everything evens out, since we non-Bohinj residents, i.e. hikers and mountaineers, pay them the fees. zmeden

On Thursday I visited the Mostnica gorges. First I paid parking at the parking lot - I'm used to that, but I was very surprised by the entrance fee collector at the first trail junction. Price 1.80 Eur. I asked what it's for and what they use it for. Answer: They've been collecting entrance fee for five years and use it for trail maintenance.
After walking the trail I realized that the path is catastrophic in some places because they drag wood on it. I was also very bothered by the poor trail marking, the safeguards over the canyon are poor and dangerous. They have invested something in building new bridges. I think it's too little. Given the number of visitors I met on the trail, they earned at least enough for paint that day and could have marked the trail.
Otherwise, the gorges are full of water and therefore even more attractive.

I was really glad yesterday morning for this "find" - the topic about Mostnica Gorges. I opened it with interest hoping to find some nice descriptions and photos, but instead only bashing of the "stubborn" Bohinj people zavijanje z očmi

... That's fine too. My younger daughter, after a good week of viral illness, really needed some fresh air and an easy walk, so we went...

After viewing the gorges we continued along Voje Valley all the way to its head and to the Mostnica Waterfall. It was gorgeous. Voje Valley is enchantingly blooming at this time, deep views into the gorge bottoms are stunning and the waterfall is extremely beautiful. Everything seen and experienced today we can only recommend if instead of "gaining altitude" some afternoon you fancy a relaxed but extremely nice stroll.

P.S. Well, in the end... apparently it's true that if you go to Bohinj, best to count on some fine in advance zavijanje z očmi

. We got it, yes, us too mrk pogled

. Serves us right, right? Why did we wander around so long and mistakenly put the parking ticket in the wallet instead of on the windshield zadrega

. "Half" for payment within eight days is 30 Eur. But to let this spoil our nice impressions, no way. And we'll still come to Bohinj despite that... Next time they won't get us, now we know how and what... mežikanje



Lively and frolicsome over rocks and ledges...

The little elephant... without this shot, of course not...

Deep is the view to the bottom of the gorges...

It seems as if the grass will overgrow it...

Along the path endless blooming meadows... common viper's bugloss

These oldest ones, nothing modernized, are simply the most beautiful...

The cricket's song gave rhythm to the steps... :-)

A snapshot... many such ones at every step in the valley...

Flowering grasses left and right, front and back...

Mostly yellow ones, so flowers of other colors stand out so much more... Jajčasti repuš

The carnation has also started to bloom...

In the valley col we spotted a real small patch of kranjska lilija...

They say it's not all that common for the stem to carry more than one flower...

Today on a beautiful sunny day I decided to go see the Mostnica gorges. They are beautiful in every season. The best views are in spring when the deciduous trees don't yet make shade and the gorge photos are nicer. The water didn't seem any more than two years ago in summer. The surroundings are adorned by spring flowers craving moisture like marsh marigolds, alpine buttercups, trillium.

Start in Stara Fužina at the church past Zois's manor.

We are already at the sign at Devil's Bridge.

Deep under the bridge are the gorges where the Mostnica stream flows.

The path leads us to the start of the trail along the Mostnica gorges. Right away, the path is equipped with nice benches. Two years ago, they weren't there yet.

Soon we are already at the sign at the beginning of the path.

A little further on, a nice hut awaits us where they collect the entrance fee for viewing the gorges. At ten o'clock today they were already cashing.

Behind the hut we go over a little bridge to the left side of the gorges.

Deep down in the gorges the water foams.

We reach the area where we can approach the stream.

Here the water flows into pleasant pools.

We return to the path, where a sign points out the natural rock sculpture called Slonček.

Soon after Slonček we cross a little bridge to the other side along which we return to the starting point.

Now we view the gorges from the other side as well.

I return again to the side of the gorges where we started the path.

Views of the gorges do not run out until the starting point.

For today I still hadn't had enough, so I drove a bit from Srednja vas towards the Uskovnica pasture. After about a km of path under the road we spot some kind of pasture.

It is quite an extensive pasture with a few buildings. They told me that this is Planina Blatca.

I spice up every hike with some mountain flower. This time the first alpine butterworts of the year were spotted in the wet rocks of the Mostnica gorges.

Along the damp path in the forest the first tall sedges are already blooming.

On Shrove Saturday from Stara Fužina to see Mostnica Gorges to Dom planincev in Voje valley and back. Many beauties to find on the way, especially the emerald color of Mostnica that has carved numerous potholes, gorges and pools always enchants one again. Maybe this will remind some of you that it's worth visiting this natural gem again. nasmeh

Our group also went on this trip on Sunday, 3.4. It was great, no snow and temperatures already pleasant; of course we cooled off to Mostnica waterfall. Wondering if anyone knows when they start charging parking in Stara Fužina? zmeden

For now parking is still free ...

After three years I checked out Mostnica gorges again, plus Voje valley and Mostnica waterfall. Three years ago spring visit, this time summer. We were a whole big bus - Monday group of retirees from mountaineering club Škofja Loka. Among us even almost ninety-year-old lady. This time three grandchildren joined us - that's how you raise young generation. Always check Mostnica gorges from right side to see rock sculpture Elephant and heart. Back we didn't go opposite side because warning that trail partly damaged. Huge number of visitors.
