Rakov Škocjan and Lake Cerknica
|
|
|
|
|
The view from the Big natural bridge already reveals the high level of the river Rak, which has flooded a large portion of the otherwise dry meadow.
|
|
We did descend to the valley floor but didn't get very far. The ground was soggy and the passage under the bridge completely under water,
|
|
Climbing down the other side provided me with more photo ops.
|
|
But as luck would have it, I left the tripod in the car and had to shoot long exposures hand-held.
|
|
The river Rak was fast and furious.
|
|
The seemingly slow and docile river turns into rapids right under the bridge.
|
|
The bridge is 37 meters high.
|
|
I almost got wet a couple of times standing very close to the water.
|
|
The river flows down into the cave of Tkalca jama.
|
|
In the dry season this river bed is completely dry.

The beginning of the rapids.

Looking from under the bridge.

Under the bridge.

|
A stick wedged between the rocks.

Under the bridge.

Remnants from last fall.

|
Blossoms.
|
|
Lake Cerknica is extremely high, flooding a large area along with many trees.
|
|
Flooded trees.

Green shore.
|
|
New grass.
