Following our trip in Tolmin we continued on through the historic town of Kobarid, following a series of many switchback turns over the mountain before lazily winding its way back down to the charming little town of Divač. We based here for 2 nights in a "tourist farm" accomodation. Again, the views here were stunning, something Slovenia delivers in spades. The cuisine took on a more Austrian and Istrian influence - gnocchi / dumplings featuring heavily on the menus.

Our host directed us towards several excellent local walks - the first taking us to a small stone chapel sitting lonesome in a field.
Walking down through the meadow
The church of St Justus, built in the second half of the 14th century.
Whilst outside, you could hear the nearby stream trickling down the slope and the odd baby goat trying to get attention. Inside, the heavy doors and stone walls cut out all sound, leaving you in a very serene silence.
I loved all the different shades of colour in the sub alpine foilage.

For lunch we strolled down into Divača, where the sole place open served up a declicious goat goulash with gnocchi (6 euros ea).
