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.

Thread by thread - Slovenia’s first and finest saffron
Autumn. The Soča Valley dazzles in yellow, red, and gold shades. Mist covers the morning down by the Tolminka river. It's early, and everyone is asleep. Well, almost everyone. Ivan Mangani and Anja Bukudur are leaning over their field of gold - hand-picking tiny purple flowers. Flower after flower, thread by thread, they patiently created an inspiring story about Slovenia’s first saffron cultivation.
