Despite this strange and difficult year I was so blessed to manage to travel to some of the destinations I’ve always had on my list and Slovenia was one of them.
This small country of the size of the Moravia (one of three parts of the Czech Republic) offers so many wonders and surprises and for me it’s still kind of hard to understand how come it still remains unknown to so many people.
Why from all the pictures taken this year did I choose right this one?
Because for me Zelenci Nature Reserve represents Slovenia itself. Because of its teeny-tiny size you might think it’s not even worth it to explore such a small spot of the Earth, but once you see it, you totally change your mind. Unique Combination of the emerald green lake and the breathtaking surrounding Julian Alps is simply splendid!
What does the picture mean to me?
This photo is mainly about the beauty of the nature, about the importance of preserving spots like this and living in balance with the nature. It reminds me of the beautiful sunny days and rainy nights in our camp site, tons of laughter, great time with my boyfriend and our friends and last but not least the first trip with dachshund Dan, our animal partner in crime.
How do I think this photo would help the business listing?
Google Maps are here to help us to make better decisions, to make our life easier, to save the money, to enjoy the meals we like, to avoid traffic jams and more and more. I think it’s also very important to promote the nature itself. Covid-19 lockdowns banned us to visit our favorite restaurants, have a beer with our friends in the pub, spend evenings in the cinema, enjoy amazing concerts of our favourite artists but the nature remained opened to us and many of us opened themselves to the nature too. Especially in the Czech Republic people started going out more often, more people started spending more of their free time outside on the fresh air. And in my opinion pictures like this one do and will remind us that there are still things for free and that they might be even better and more valuable than the ones we pay for.
We should never forget that the nature is priceless.

! And a great choice of photo for your submission. I saw your other photos too of this location and the lake water is stunningly clear!! For this photo, you’ve taken the shot from quite a high view point. The Satellite view isn’t very clear on Maps but I’m guessing that the ground is higher up where you stood or were you using a selfie stick?
I’ve been in Słowenia only driving through it on my way to Croatia, so I didn’t have an opportunity to explore this country. I must put it on my travel list for sure!
