It is just not near KOlpa, completely other direction of Slovenia, more near Maribor - no river there for swimming like Kolpa is:)

Beautiful moor ponds! And from the observation tower on the edge of the moor you have a good overview.

From the outside, this church looks very unusual and interesting. It was only inaugurated in 2010. Unfortunately, it was closed so we couldn't visit it. What a pity.

Slovenian law forbids smoking inside (closed!) dining areas! Despite the non-smoking sign on the wall, there was smoking at three out of four tables (the 4th was mine, in the farthest corner). Not only that: there were ashtrays on those tables! Assuming that those people didn't bring their own ashtrays I must conclude that staff (which should ask them not to smoke) actually supports this behavior. Shame! All this smoking was accompanied with Croatian/Serbian music blasting from loudspeakers ("Radio Aktual"), so the entire scene felt rather like somewhere in the Balkans, not in Slovenian mountains.

The Grmovšek Hut (Slovene: Grmovškov dom pod Veliko Kopo) is a mountain hut below the Veliko Kopa at an altitude of 1,377 metres. The hut was built in 1937 and quickly became a popular stop for outdoor sports enthusiasts. In 1942 it burned down, in 1947 it was rebuilt – and unfortunately burned down again in the same year. The third hut was inaugurated in 1954 and named after Miloš Grmovšek, the then president of the Slovenj Gradec Hiking Association (PD Slovenj Gradec). The hut is a great stop on your hike with everything you need after a long day of hiking.
