Today I headed to Selški oče in the rain and left it for the first time with somewhat mixed feelings.
The road they started building a year ago seems to me to now reach almost to Razor and in a very rough way spoils the previously pristine nature. Empty cans are of course not missing next to it, showing how indifferent we are to the mountains that Slovenes are supposed to love so much.
When returning from the other side via Povden I can't help staring at the gigantic power lines, which with their associated infrastructure give a threatening industrial impression.
I know, I also need electricity, I also know that wood provides bread for numerous families, but couldn't this really be achieved in a somewhat more refined way, less noticeable and less megalomaniac?
These places are so beautiful and in the last few years development is encroaching even into previously untouched areas. I'm just worried that we are too little thoughtful and too little attentive to what we are supposed to love so much. Thrown trash next to the new addition is just an additional exclamation mark.
Since I'm already grumbling I'd mention the chain that markacists probably installed in good faith above Razor... The chain in the style of the one on Triglav ridge is in fact only circa 15cm away from the rocks we can lean on! Is this really necessary?
Sorry for describing today's path so negatively, there was also a lot of beauty but I have children and it would be nice if they could also take their offspring somewhere pristine!
