Slovenia: Sunday in Soča Valley
Nada celebrated her birthday a while ago and she got a great present, voucher for skydiving from 4000 meters. So we drove to Bovec, where she did her jump.

| Italian Charnel house was built on Gradič hill around the already existing Church of St. Anthony which had been consecrated as far back as 1696. Along the road, leading to the Charnel House, Stations of the Cross were also erected. In September 1938, the Charnel House was opened by Benito Mussolini. It is constructed in the form of three concentric octagonal fields, diminishing in the upward direction, with the Church of St. Anthony on the very top. Mortal remains of 7,014 known and unknown Italian soldiers who had been killed in the First World War were transferred to the Charnel House from the nearby military cemeteries. |
