"Bohinj valley – a long open basin, through which flows the river Savica, born in the rocks, with light green fairy waters, idyllic sappy meadows, peaceful and inviting friendly villages, surrounded by the picturesque outlines of the mountains, wrapped in dark pine forests, and there is a throne of Triglav high on the clouds" by Julius Kugy
