Review of Bukla
Slovenia is full of "obvious" natural attractions, from Lake Bohinj to the Škocjan Caves, which are visited by tourists and travelers every day, especially on weekends. In his aesthetically perfect and photo-enriched monograph Hidden Gems of Slovenia, Peter Skoberne, a biologist and expert in the protection of natural heritage, went elsewhere, among the much lesser-known natural surprises on our soil, which are reached by less paved paths and are therefore much more secluded. In sixty excursions, he takes us to all corners of Slovenia and to various boutique natural delicacies, each of which exudes its own identity in its own way. From smaller waterfalls that you may have never heard of (Davški slapovi, Sedelnikov slap pri Muta, Slap Strnice pod Trebešami), through trees with an imposing size and history (linden in Plut, Gašperjev chestnut near Radeče) to sculptural masterpieces of nature (stone table in Lipica, cross in the wall of Izgora near Bovec), Škoberne skillfully guides us, while reminding us that we need to prepare properly for each trip, as there is no "highway" leading there (which is why coordinates are added to each destination), and he has set up his book in such a way that, in addition to each hidden gem, he also spreads out its surroundings before us. In this way, he has extended and expanded our visit to a particular place and/or area into an exciting adventure. A first-class gift book.
