thanks as always Nimesha :)

So happy to hear! My hope was to show the world how beautiful Slovenia is in the fall, and to show more than just Lake Bled :)

welcome back anytime. You seem to be one of the few, who can enjoy the smorgasbord of natural delights here. As for the Alpine fall foliage, here are some additional hints: Slemenova Špica (on your video, but from afar), a circular hike from Koča na planini Jezero - Koča pri triglavskih jezerih. And then, there is the whole Eastern part of Slovenia to explore, less dramatic on grand scale, but even more mignon in its off the beaten path's solitude.

@@kozorok yes, lots more to explore. Thanks for the suggestions! I'll probably be back again at some point here in the next few years to do some more mountain hiking. Hoping to stay in some of the many alpine huts and shelters.

Hard to go wrong with some hiking in Slovenia

That blue water happens because most of the country is limestone, the water here is in most cases very clean in such mountain streams, to the point where you can drink it right from the stream (done it myself a couple of times), which then gives the water that blue hue. As for reminding you of Scotland, not that it has any correlation to the look of the land but originally it was inhabited by Celtic peoples, who then mixed with the later arriving Romans, Slavs and then a while later Bavarians and Austrians, giving us, the modern day Slovene people. The old name for Slovenia was Carntum or Carniola from the Celtic tribe of the Carni that lived here, and for a while the Kingdom/province of Noric. So an Alba Gu Bràth to you from Slovenia, you're always welcome :D

thanks so much!

thanks! I agree. One of the most beautiful places on earth.

thanks Kevin! Really happy I brought a drone this time.

thanks Felicia! Means a lot coming from you :)

thanks Jirsong :)

thanks Callum!

Why barrier?. In Slovenia 70% population younger than 50 speaks English.

thanks Philip! Honesty, I find it even easier to get around Slovenia than France or Spain. Plenty of people speak more than enough English.

thanks :)

thanks Barb! Hopefully this was worth the wait :)

thanks! Ah, good point. Totally forgot; will add it now (DJI Mini 2).

Glad you enjoyed it! It was my fourth trip and I hope to be back again soon to do more hiking in the mountains. And yep! Big thanks for sharing some of these locations with the photo community :)

@@BrianLackey Would be nice to see some of your images on there ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@BrianLackey Hi Brian, an update: I wanted to let you know that I'm going on a weeklong solo trip to Slovenia in July, a roundtrip of the Julian Alps (walking a selection of stages of the Juliana trail), co-inspired by your film. I thought you'd like to know that your work is inspiring and has a real impact.

amazing! Have a great time and feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions/need recommendations.

the entire Soča Valley is made of gatorade, I'm pretty sure.

@@BrianLackey XD

thanks so much Sarah! Really appreciate that :) It's surprisingly easy to visit, actually. Probably on-part with... Austria? I never had any trouble only speaking English and found that more people understood me than in places like Spain or France. I would guess there will be plenty of vegetarian options, but that would be worth researching a bit more beforehand since it's not something I was paying attention to. And on the climate front, I'd say it's pretty typically European? When I was there in mid- to late-October, it was typically lows in the 30s/40s(F) and highs in the 50s to 60s (if I'm remembering correctly). Didn't feel too terribly different from back here in Washington, but the summers do get warm and the it snows quite a bit in the mountains in the winter. I've been in all four seasons now and late October was by far my favorite time to go. May was also beautiful, but obviously you trade the fall colors for intense spring greens then.

@@BrianLackey I can't get enough of those autumn colors...I think its so magical. Thanks for your detailed response. Its now on my bucket list! Especially those canyons and the mountains at the end.

With English you will be fully OK. I would say that proficiency is at the level of Austria and Germany, and much better than in South Europe (Spain or Italy…). Most of the people speak at least one foreign language, it is common as well to speak 2-3 foreign languages (beside English also German, Italian, some other Slavic languages).

@@sarahinscotland Hello! If youwant somemore info,youcould watch Geography Now! Slovenia by Canadians. It is quite nice first info about Slovenia. Or try offitional site I feel Slovenia.

Thanks! Staying local in the PNW for a bit now, but starting to think about 2022 trips. Maybe Ireland? Scotland? Albania? We'll see...

@@BrianLackey Australia & NZ?

@@alfonsocalero Tasmania is pretty high up on my list, but it's quite the trek to get there. Definitely soon though :) Haven't been down that way since... 2005?

Thank you very much!

thanks Sam!

thanks! This was in late October. Definitely the best time to go, in my opinion.

such a great trip, yeah :) Definitely similar, but also way more empty. Felt like I had the place to myself for most of it.

Have an amazing time! This was in October, but May is my second favorite time to visit. It'll be beautifully green :)

@@BrianLackey Absolutely incredible, it was so artistically beautiful but also so peaceful and relaxing. I will be there next year in the first week of October. Hopefully there will be some colour then! Thank you again for the video!

thanks so much, Conrad! Means a lot coming from you.
