Steam in Slovenia – Nova Gorica to Jesenice – cab, passenger and forward views
After a tasty dinner at a local restaurant our group made their way back to Nova Gorica station where the TranAlpina train headed by Class 33 steam locomotive No. SŽ 33-037 was simmering at the head of a beautifully preserved rake of vintage four wheel carriages. The driver made a spirited departure as we headed for Jesenice along one of the most scenic lines in Europe. The ride in the four wheeled carriages was decidedly lively at speed, creating some pretty challenging conditions for photographers. This is one of those routes that is well worth following with “Google Earth”, to get a better idea of the succession of dams and the depth of the gorges the train traverses. At Bled Jezero I take the camera into the locomotive cab where we can see just how tough the job of driving and firing the engine really is, especially in long tunnels. Finally we draw into Jesenice where the sun is setting on what had been a remarkable day. This is one of just a hand full of scheduled steam hauled trains still operated in Europe offering a totally authentic glimpse of how it used to be. A ticket to ride this train has to be the highlight of any visit to this wonderfully scenic part of the world.

KRAS (Slovenia) ► promotional video
The Karst is a limestone plateau in the south-west of Slovenia, surrounded by the Bay of Trieste, the Vipava Valley, Brkini, Pivka and Slovene Istria. For thousands of years the Karst has been drawing people who love natural and cultural beauty and enjoy discovering the interesting characteristics of the karstic world.
What gives the Karst its special characteristic is the combination of the Continental climate of central Slovenia and the mild submediterranean climate of the Northern Adriatic. The Karst is known not only for its Teran wine, Pršut ham and the bora wind (burja) but also by its mysterious underground world with its numerous caves. Natural and cultural heritage can be discovered by walking in the Karst countryside through pastures, sinkholes, abandoned waterholes and by the burja shaped trees where footpaths will lead you to villages with preserved typical Karst architecture and local people who have been creating and shaping life in this specific area since time began. Visiting the Karst is a special experience in every season. In autumn, a plant called Ruj (Cotinus Coggygria) and the vineyard's multicoloured leaves make the landscape appear to »burn« red.
The Karst offers both rich natural and cultural heritage. These include numerous karstic features along with the living environment, villages, pastures, vineyards, enclosures, stone vernacular architecture, waterholes and wells, as well as tranquility and relaxation either in wine cellars or in one of the many touristic farms, restaurants and osmicas (see vocabulary) where you will enjoy sampling various local gastronomy and wines which will be kindly served to you by the hospitable local people.
Carso, l'altiplano calcareo situato a sud-est della Slovenia, si estende su un territorio circondato da golfo triestino, della valle di Vipacco, Brkini, Pivka e Istria slovena, sin dai tempi antichi invita gli amanti delle bellezze naturali e culturali a viaggiare e a scoprire le interessanti particolarita del mondo carsico. Una delle particolarita e il clima che in questo punto passa dal clima continentale della Slovenia centrale a quello piú mite submediterraneo del Nord Adriatico.
Sebbene per il Carso sono tipici tre concetti: terrano prosciutto e bora, esso offre molto di piú. Gia una visita del mondo misterioso sotterraneo fatto di tante grotte offre un'esperienza interessante. Le virtu naturali e i beni culturali invece si possono ammirare passeggiando sui passcoli carsici tra tantissime doline carsiche tra i »kali« (stagni) abbandonati tra gli alberi piegati dalla bora. Qui troverete tantissimi sentieri che vi porteranno ai villaggi, alle case costruite in pietra e alle persone del posto che gia dai tempi lontani nel tempo creano la vita su questo territorio. La visita al Carso e un'esperienza particolare in ogni stagione, in autunno peró l'altiplano carsico e il piu bello siccome splende in un colore rosso di scodano e nei tanti colori del fogliame della vite, il che da al Carso un fascino particolare.
Sul Carso vi offriamo delle visite interessanti per ammirare delle particolarita carsiche, del godimento in mezzo alla natura intatta, del rilasamento e rinforzamento della mente e di un'esperienza unica nella nostra amplia offerta turistica. Stanchi dalla camminata ma pieni delle impressioni potete finire il vostro soggiorno in una piacevole trattoria, agriturismo, mescita dei vini o osmica, dove della gente ospitale del posto vi vizera con dei cibi casalinghi e con il terrano o con dei altri tipi di vino, che vengono coltivati sulla terra carsica.

Zalog in Snow and Cold
After the extremely warm and long autumn, on Friday, December 11th, the wind from the northeast plains brought us the cold and the snow. Next morning we woke into the 3 inches of powder snow and -12 deg. C or 10 deg F cold. After the few successive, almost snow-less winters or with just heavy and wet snow, this was great opportunity to get some snow dust lifting action on the tracks of the Slovenian Railroads (SZ). I grabbed the camera and set off to the nearby suburban town of Zalog where is the biggest SZ classification yard right next to the double track mainline, part of the two European railroad corridors extending from the southern France across the northern Italy, Slovenia, Austria to Slovakia or Ukraine, and from Germany to all of the Balkan states. Alas, the weekend and the economy crises have greatly reduced the usual number of trains which on the on workdays in better times scored up to the 150 trains per day.
Next day the snow was already blown off the tracks and on Monday it was 14 deg C or 57 deg F and raining. The winter action, at least for quite a while, was over.
