Zum Urlaubsfinale noch etwas Seeglück
Rückblickend drehte sich dieser Urlaub erstaunlich oft ums Wasser. Da passt der Bodensee als letzte Zugabe natürlich perfekt ins Bild. 😀

The journey back also needs to be put to good use. Therefore, we make an intermediate stop at the ☆Drei Zinnen.
With a short loop, we admire the impressive mountain scenery before heading down to the village for a pizza to strengthen us for the onward journey.
At this point, we have no idea that a traffic

We leave the small square below ☆Tolmin and make our way to the large pools of the ☆Soča. Already on the way, the river immediately captivates us with its incredible color. Depending on the light, the water shimmers emerald green or turquoise blue.
Once we arrive at the pools, we marvel at the landscape

Saying goodbye to the sea is always somehow difficult.

It doesn't take long and we are back in Slovenia. But before we head to our campsite, we take the direct route to the ☆Tolmin Gorge, which forms the southernmost entry point into the ☆Triglav National Park. And with over 30°C, this immediately feels

We leave the shelter at Zoran's, take one last look at the wonderful area of the ☆Velebit mountains and set off for ☆Krk.
It's to be an island once more before we finally say goodbye to the sea for this holiday.
The sea is significantly calmer here, the heat is still a bit more intense. Shortly before

We continue through the impressive landscape of the southern ☆Velebit mountains, the Winnetou feeling doesn't let up, and we finally land in an idyllic spot in the gorge right on the karst river ☆Zrmanja.
Zoran, the owner, receives us very friendly and proudly shows us his place, which he has lovingly

Because it was so great, here's the ☆Zrmanja Gorge as a gift. . . 😊
So we stop again at the ☆Pariževačka Glavica viewing platform above the ☆Zrmanja Gorge.
Actually, I'd like to hike a bit further here, but the "paths" are barely passable, the undergrowth is prickly, and a snake hisses away while my pulse

We leave the island of ☆Brač, take the ferry to ☆Split and head towards ☆Murter.
Once there, we quickly realize that the peninsula doesn't appeal to us at all. Too touristy, too polished, too much of a "resort feel".
So we don't stay long and instead drive along the coast towards ☆Zadar. This section doesn

On the road again we drive across the island towards ☆Supetar, the largest town on ☆Brač and at the same time the most important gateway to the mainland, because the ferries to ☆Split depart from here. Along the way, barren landscapes, small villages, and always wide views over the sea alternate.

The morning is stormy. Gusts whip across the sea surface, causing a rough, choppy sea.
We set off early for a walk to have ☆Zlatni Rat all to ourselves. Afterwards, we make a detour to ☆Bol, the oldest town on the island of Brač.
The narrow streets, the harbor, and the relaxed atmosphere in the cafés and

Now we are slowly heading north again. But not without taking some real island feeling with us one last time. While ☆Dubrovnik disappears in the rearview mirror, the larger islands reappear before us. We choose ☆Brač, because we don't want to miss the famous ☆Zlatni Rat, the 'Golden Horn'.

From ☆Slano, the journey continues to ☆Dubrovnik. Our campsite in ☆Mlini turns out to be a real stroke of luck, not only beautifully located but also with a nice owner who quickly organizes water taxi tickets for us. Thus, we glide in complete relaxation directly into the old harbor of ☆Dubrovnik.

We say goodbye to ☆Zaostrog as well as to the dreamlike ☆Makarska Riviera. Our destination for the day is the ☆Pelješac peninsula. But first, I want to go across the border to Bosnia and Herzegovina on foot, just for a quick look.

The coastal road continues into the heart of Dalmatia, and this road is a highlight in itself. Shortly after ☆Trogir, the view repeatedly opens up to the incredible play of colors of the Adriatic Sea.
Small bays, rugged rocks tipping into the sea, pine slopes, and offshore islands accompany the route

After successfully leaving yesterday's "road drama" behind us, we are treating ourselves to another day at the Baden Sea today. 😉 And let's be honest, Lake Constance can easily compete with many coastlines in terms of water color.
So first through ☆Sankt Katharinen and the ☆Mainau forest, then from
