atoamac, thanks for the presentation! I haven't seen half of these peaks yet.

Velkavrh, as long as you're alive, there's a chance... Most aren't too far from here.

Bravo, @atoamac for the abundance of summit markers. From this I judge that you are a regular visitor to the Carnic Alps and mountains across one or the other Slovenian border, which are completely unknown to me, as in my active hiking years I already had enough to do with our local mountains. But it's interesting to learn about summit markings in the mountains of neighboring countries through your photos.. nasmeh

From yesterday's path through the hamlets Starivrh, Podvrh, Murave and Javorje.

Church of St. Tilna in Javorje. I haven't encountered churches dedicated to him here yet.

From 04 to 11.09.2019 we were in Albania. This is a predominantly Muslim country. 80% are of Muslim faith, there are some Bektashi in between - this is a special branch of Muslims that is in between Catholicism and Islam - their shrines are not mosques - similar to small Orthodox churches. They eat pork, drink alcohol, do not celebrate Ramadan, their women are not veiled. Very interesting - before visiting Albania I didn't know this branch of Islam. Small communities are present throughout the Balkans. 20% are Orthodox, 20% Roman Catholics. But one must know that Orthodox at least on the Balkans are divided into two streams. They mainly differ only in the calendar - at least that's what they told me. Faith was abolished after World War II and was only allowed after the transition after 1990. Therefore the country is full of new sacred objects - of course mostly mosques. In strict communism they even demolished sacred objects or changed their purpose.
