We’re using the Bohinj region as our “home base” for the next few days. This region is in the northwest corner of Slovenia and is made up of a series of very small villages in the Triglav National Preserve. The highest peak in Slovenia is Mt. Triglav and is featured on the Slovenian flag. Mt. Vogel is one of the next highest peaks and a source of pride in this region. We took a boat ride around the lake and then went to the top of Vogel via cable car.
In the afternoon we visited a local farmhouse that has been preserved in its original state from the 1800s. Very quaint! Our "tour guide" was Gregor Resman who is the caretaker and lives next door. This farmhouse has belonged to his family for generations. He posed for this photo after he insisted that we take a drink of schnapps at the end of the tour. How could we resist? What other museum do you know that offers that perk? Take that - Chicago Art Institute!
