Slovenian Coast

Pic.12 Wikipedia says: nutria or coypu, which is larger than muskrat (Muskrats are sometimes confused with nutria, which is also a water-living rodent from South America. Muskrat is smaller, better adapted to colder climate, and has a laterally flattened tail, while nutria's tail is round and rat-like).

Anyway, we have quite a few nutrias in Koper and they are really cute, especially when grazing, since they are herbivores.

Well, yesterday we did the last stage of walking along the Slovenian coast, which was the path from Izola to Koper or further. We wanted to go to Školjčišče before Ankaran, but what when we had to continue along the road. You can't reach the coast, we got to the middle of Bonifika bridge, then we gave up on reaching it, as parked cars were still spreading everywhere waiting for their buyers. Here business has priority over nature's beauty eek

and I just fear they'll overrun Školjčišče and Škocjan Inlet someday.

The coastal path to Koper is really nice, suitable for anyone (no need to climb fences), for hikers especially expecting nice views of the peaks that appear on the horizon, if you're lucky of course. And yesterday we caught some of that luck too, as the Julian Alps showed up nicely a few times, we even spotted Triglav and just for that it's worth coming down here.

Together we did about 20 km, walking for approximately 5-6 hours.

Some of us enjoyed it down below, some up top

this view always cheers up, Škocjanski zatok

when the bora blew, the Julijci appeared again. Can anyone identify all these peaks?

the sea raged just then when there was a snow shower in places on Gorenjska

From the central part of picture no.33 I identified some peak names that we see from the coast nasmeh

These are the mountains above Planina Razor

Left of Migovec the dome of T. Kuk is nicely visible and far left the pyramid of Mahavšček. Far right are the green slopes of Žabiški Kuk behind it Vogel? looks a bit in the clouds?

ločanka4. 01. 2019 09:05:59

Thanks mirank. Super yeah, from Tolmin Kuk left ridge towards Mahavšček. Every time I look, I see more! Behind right above Vrh nad Škrbino, Kanjavec is probably visible too.

And behind Škrbina? Špičje? cool

ločanka4. 01. 2019 10:33:21

Behind Tolmin Kuk there is Lepo Špičje, to the left of it that quite prominent peak is Plaski vogel nasmeh

bbugari14. 01. 2019 12:35:24

So, what is in the shadow behind Škrbina?

tulipan4. 01. 2019 13:22:08

Left is Razor, right towards Kanjavec!

ločanka4. 01. 2019 14:21:03

But if we look at the 5th picture, left of Triglav is Debeli vrh!

This is how it was on our coast on Tuesday, when the sun cheered almost every corner of our beautiful Slovenia... Route Strunjan-Fiesa-Piran-Portorož-Strunjan. lp nasmeh

Morning view of Nanos on the way to the coast

Sometimes you have to go to the sea too, to capture the long snow-covered chain of the Julians in view without changing the direction of your gaze. Before that, we walked through the Škocjan inlet and visited the mussel resting place in the shelter of Ankaran. We looked at the Julians from Belvedere nasmeh

I identified it as a reed bunting, I hope the ornithologist won't protest

above Izola, snow-covered Nanos in the background

and a closer Krn, but Darinke was not visible

On Saturday four girls drove to the Slovenian coast, plan was coastal footpath from Izola to Koper, of course bit around Koper and finally bit in Izola. Aja, all started with obligatory morning coffee in Izola, usual spot by coast. Added up to around 15 km, or bit more, who knows.

Views reached far to snowy Julians, so all sea action happened with white backdrop behind. Couldn't tear gaze from that favorite panorama, which changed along path of course. Without identifying peaks as always, didn't work this time either nasmeh

First view across the sea towards Triglav

A fairly large jellyfish in the water, if it stings we haven't tried

view of Barbabianca palace (former seat of Venetian tax office) in center of Koper

interesting about Šavrinkah, also in center of Koper

ločanka,

when you girls next drive towards sea, you can nicely walk also in hinterland, not only along coast:

On Tuesday at the last moment we changed the plan and didn't go on the continuation on the Savudrija peninsula, as originally thought. We said, let's go along the coast from Simonov zaliv to Strunjan, so that we could admire the snowy Julian peaks along the way, and clear weather was forecasted too. Well, we didn't think that we'd need midway to take a short step on the upper path and return back to the coast. It is true, though, that it wouldn't have worked even without wading through water, since the water didn't want to recede very quickly. The water stayed cold despite teeth clenching. And the clarity of the sky couldn't be admired for very long either, since soon some gray crept from the west and darkened the sun. Yeah, from the west something bad always comes to us nasmeh

.

We returned entirely on the upper path to the starting point.

cormorant with snow-covered peaks in the background

this is how it was but the passage ahead was prohibited, in the bay of Sv. Križ

and will you ignore the sign passage prohibited, deadly dangerous?

here around it's possible if you put on shoes and the water isn't too cold for you

Further along the coast to Strunjan and then to the upper path.
