This though not from Slovenia. Took this yesterday in Italy on trip to Staro gora.

Cross opposite Stara gora on a small hill.

On Sunday participated in 15th hike Ob meji brez meja in Kožbansko corner. Could also be called path of four churches. Each interesting in its own way.

This was first the church in the village Kožbana. Dedicated to St. George.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to approach successfully.

I always look at the church interior and photograph all altars and some other curiosities. This is the main altar.

I always look at the Stations of the Cross in the churches. This is one station of the Way of the Cross.

Church of St. Magdalene in the village of Senik.

These Stations of the Cross in churches are interesting. None is alike.

On the way down there were also three chapels.

Chapel in front of the church of St. Andrew in the village Vrhovlje pri Kožbani.

These hill chapels have interesting ceiling sections that are not seen elsewhere in Slovenia.

But to Slapnik you didn't go? There you would really see how a completely abandoned village overgrown with ivy looks, which is under the protection of Zvnkd zavijanje z očmi

Well, not much longer, the village namely, because everything will collapse...

In the program were these four churches.

Now I remember. We looked at that place about a year ago with the PD Škofja Loka section -department for mountain nature protection.

Today on the closing tour of DU Britof-Predoslje.

Second cross on the path to the chapel of St. Jacob.

It is really nicely situated on that hill.

I don't know which church that is in the valley.

Cross on the ridge above the church of St. Catherine.

Also at this church, the inscription should be restored.

Actually it is a gravestone, not a chapel.

Another unknown church in the distance on a small hill.

Today, however, from the conclusion of DU Medvode.

Little chapel at the beginning of our path in Preska.

Here we are already out of the settlement.

Cross on the path to the village Golo Brdo.

Church of the Holy Trinity in the village Golo Brdo.

Church in the distance hidden among spruces.

Plečnik's chapel before the settlement Preska.

I had no idea that Plečnik's artwork is also located here.

Crosses and the only chapel on the Path of the Slovenian Tolar.

Yesterday we walked along the Slovenian coast and also checked out Piran. In Piran there's the parish church of St. George-currently renovating the bell tower. In XI Corps street there's the church of Mary the Consoler. In Bolniška street there's the church of Our Lady of Snow, on Prešeren embankment there's the church of Our Lady of Health. So Piran people like Mary. We only saw two churches-St. George and Mary the Consoler.

You can even peek into the church interior.

From afar I saw another church, but I don't know which one.

This is the chapel in the village Grančišče in Istria.

I snapped this yesterday on the path from Dekani to Tinjan.

Thanks ejti for the heads up!

This time we could peek into the interior of the little church.

The chapel in Tinjan is being renovated.

Church of the Assumption of Mary in Dekani.

I snapped this on the path through Rakov Škocjan.

Interesting - there used to be a small village around the church.

Only the ruins of St. Canzian's church remain.

Nowhere is it written that in this topic we are limited exclusively to Slovenian territory, but it's close anyway. So, in the "attic" some material was found from the "assault" on Sabotin a year or so ago. If we walk the ridge path right where the state border runs, we can spot a cross a meter from the path on the Italian side. Schengen still applied without doubt then, so we can step closer and see it's a chapel or niche without a statue. I'm really curious if this is some official part of the "zona sacra" (some equivalent of our NOB memorial parks), which Italians maintained during the wars across the entire Sabotin area in honor of that famous 6th offensive when they took Sabotin and thus Gorizia. Or did someone put it up privately in honor of some fallen relative?

While we're on Sabotin, another chapel was spotted at one of the last road bends that leads from the valley somewhere to the "hut" (former JNA border post) on Sabotin.

I took this yesterday on a tour to Melika Medveja. Start was in Sežana where we also returned. If possible and I see them I photograph all sacral objects on the way -crosses, chapels, churches. This time there weren't many. But in Sežana I could look into their church.

On the Karst and in these coastal areas the bell tower is often next to the church - it was also the case here.

In larger places churches are mainly unlocked and if possible I view them.

It has three altars and two side altars. The main one is dedicated of course to St. Martin.

Baptismal font. Usually I also glance at the Stations of the Cross, but it seems I overlooked it this time.

A bit below the summit of Križna gora above Podkraj there is, as the name suggests, a nicely forged cross. Since it's above a very steep (and scenic) slope, it could only be photographed from the side. Under the cross it's also possible to "stamp".

Križna gora is usually combined with neighboring Sveti Duh, where, again judging by the name, we can expect a small church of the Holy Spirit, which is currently being renovated, next to it there are quite a few benches and of course a new logbook. It's located a bit below the summit, but options for finding the best photo spots are somewhat limited. Visitors also have the option to ring the bell.
