Slovenia



Bohinj is a municipality in the northern Slovenia, characterized by the periglacial Lake Bohinj. I like the myth about Bohinj very much, so I'll share it with. Here it comes...
God was giving land to people and as he finished he realized that he had forgotten about a small group of people, who were silent and didn't hustle like the others. Because of their modesty, he felt pity for them. Then he decided to give them the most beautiful land of them all, which he had spared for himself. It's called Bohinj, because in Slovenian God is called "Boh". Beautiful legend, isn't it?


Vesna sent me this postcard last summer. I like the colors of the card. The stamps are nice as well. Thank you, Vesna :)
