Portraits of mountains, waterfalls, happenings and people - offered in English and Slovene. 

Meeting Mountains want to tell stories that doesn’t otherwise get told. We dare to turn the stones that have been untouched for a long time. Curious foreigners may get an insight into local customs, hidden gems and special characters of the Soča Valley.

The author of the blog is local journalist Katja Humar - born and raised in the valley. She is passionate about painting articles with her colourful words, expressions and images and we are very grateful to have her on board.

The buzzing sounds of Slovenia

The colours, the smell, the gentle warmth. It is peaceful and cosy on the flower meadows and for a second it seems like heaven. But if you listen very closely the lively bird song is joined by the buzzing rhythm of the insect world. Spring has arrived in Slovenia and Carniola bees are in full swing performing their bee dance.

Brenčanje

Barva, vonj, nežna toplina. Na cvetočih travnikih je mirno in prijetno, za trenutek se zdi kot v nebesih. Živahni ptičji pesmi se pridruži brenčeči ritem sveta žuželk. Eksperimentalni jazz. V Slovenijo je prišla pomlad in kranjske čebele so v polnem razmahu.

Tolminska korita: k hudiču in nazaj

Tako je. Prispevek govori o Tolminskih koritih, najbolj znani tolminski turistični znamenitosti. To pa ne. Prispevek ni opis atrakcije, ne vodnik, niti ne vsebuje namigov za top pet fotografskih kotičkov. Je zgodba o zgodbah zgodb in tako nazaj. Stare ljudske legende, poimenovanja in pol zgodovinske zgodbe so skozi leta oblikovale kraj, poudarile številne obraze edinstvene narave in ji podarile glas. Dobrodošli v vzporednem svetu divjih bab, hudičev in pekla Danteja Alighierija.

Boka, lepotica in zver

Zrcalce, zrcalce na steni povej, kateri najlepši slap v deželi je tej? Tudi če hočeš, ga ne moreš spregledati. Slap Boka, osupljiiv uvod v Bovško kotlino, viden že s ceste, ki povezuje Kobarid in Bovec. S svojim veličastnim pretokom, vdelanostjo v živo skalo in strateško lego še danes draži pustolovske duše in buri domišljijo. Zato ni čudno, da so se okoli Boke splezale, razpletle in zarezale različne zgodbe.
