Mordor in Slovenia, a photo from Savinjska, East

Photographer's Note

From spring hiking to Olševa

The highest peak of the 5 km wide Olševa ridge is Golca (1929 m). The western part of the Olševa is traversed by the Austrian border (Obel kamen - 1911 m).

Olševa is also the border between Štajerska (Syria) and Koroška (Carinthia). From the top of the Olševa is a great panorama to the northern side of the Kamnik Alps, Logarska dolina (valley), Raduha Mountain, Karavanke Alps, Austrian and part of the Carinthia.

Olševa is famous by the Potočka zijalka cave - from around there this photo was made. Three hours of hike are needed from Solčava or one and a half hour from the Podolševa (Sv. Duh / St. Spirit church is seen on the picture) to the top of the ridge.

Picture taken by Branko Antolovič. Selection, crop and PP done by Jure Dolžan.

Zivjo Jure;
Vsec mi je tale razgled iz Olseve - se nisem bil tam pa bo treba enkrat. Kompozicija mi je vsec. Mogoce malo pretiravanja z post-processingom ampak to je stvar okusa.

No, I don't think that you have exaggerated. The pic is perfect indeed. I like as the dark part it graduates from the fund to top. The color of the sky on this pic it is just hit it. True masterpiece.

Oh come on! Mordor? No way! This is beautiful. It could only be Shire. Or maybe Mordor after Frodo throws away the ring. ))
