The Zakelj Valley which runs north-west from Kranjska Gora and is tucked behind a small mountain called Brda (875m), is an amazing place — quiet, with wildflower meadows on either side.

Before exploring the wetlands and lakes we had lunch at Gostilna Zelenci, a delicious salad washed down with Slovenian white wine for Ellie and a pint for me.
