Voted 10/10 | photo with dog-rose Vid! I wonder what do we see here, is this Ilirska Bistrica and its karts field maybe? | | Posted Feb 12, 2005 5:04 pm |

Hasn't voted | Hm, I hear for the first time: dog-rose. Sipek - sipurak. Fine!
What do we see? It's more towards NW. If you drive from Pivka directly towards SE - over Knezak, you soon reach the village, called Zagorje. We have a very nice (typically Slovenian sad) song, which goes like this:
Zagorski zvonovi,
tak lepo pojo,
ko mojo drago,
ko mojo drago,
k pogrebu neso...
and later...
zvoniti bom pustil,
kropiti pa ne,
ker kropile jo bodo
le moje solze...
Well, let's leave sad stories. Above this Zagorje (westwards) is a village on a hill - Silentabor (people were hiding there from Turks) - There was this picture taken.
Cheers!

Voted 10/10 | I've found Knezak and Zagorje on the map. Nice karst field and corner among the mountains. I didn't notice it on the map by now, and it looks quite large. That is sad song indeed. Well, my English dictionary says that Sipak is Dog-Rose. Sipak belongs to family of roses so it makes sense but why dog? What dogs have to do with Sipak? :-) | | Posted Feb 13, 2005 10:06 am |
