INTRO to Slovenia

I next ten posts I will write about ten most interesting touristic places in Slovenia. This posts will be about well known and attractive touristic points. But for intro of this posting, I am presenting you small hill near Žiri (Willage where I live).



This hill is called Mrzli vrh and is about 1000 m above sea level height. Is not famous touristic point (you will not meet more than 5 people during walking to the hill), but it is interesting to go on Mrli vrh if you are staying in Slovenia for a longer time.
