Slovenia: GeoCaching around Radovljica

This Saturday Nada and me used for GeoCaching and exploring the settlements Begunje na Gorenjskem, Moste, Lesce and Radovljica, where we received some new knowledge about Celsuis, air conditioning and about city of Radovljica.

"Turkish Cave", which was already mentioned by J.V. Valvasor, is located near the top of the hill Gojzdašnica, 864 m. The fort was built in the 15th - 16 century and has served primarily as a safe place for children, women and old men at the time of Turkish invasions.

 

Outside the cave 

The natural pier, atop which Radovljica's Old Town is situated, ends with the parish Church of St Peter, an exquisite example of a Gothic hall church, and renowned for its uniform style of design. It is adorned by beautifully shaped vaults, an angel star and a black marble altar. More.
