It's not that impressive from the outside (after seeing all the wonderful churches in Europe you tend to be too hard-to-please!) But once you step through the massive bronze doors (recent additions from Pope John Paul II's visit in 1992). Wondrous frescoes and artwork welcome you - Pink marble and frescoes by the Italian Baroque master Giulio Quaglio glow inside Ljubljana’s St. Nicholas Cathedral. It is a crime not to see this stunningly gorgeous church when you are in Ljubljana. And admission is free!

A must see in the Solkan valley. The whole place with the monastery, the church, the surroundings is oozing with serenity. The views over the extremely beautiful Slovenian landscape is stunning. It is a Franceskan monastery in "full working order" with active brothers. There is a restaurant, but opening times unknown to me. When we visited in July it was closed during daytime. Maybe open on Sundays. The monastery also has a museum which is open on Sundays in conjunction with the mass. From Nova Gorica it's a mere 20 min ride by car to get uphill. Bus is also available to Grgar, if you'd like to hike up the last 2-3 km. Must see if you're in the Gorizia/Nova Gorica area!

This can be a little tricky to get to, but it is entirely worth the effort. I'd been on the fence about going as I was trying to fit a lot of sightseeing into a small amount of time, and I'm so glad that I didn't skip it. The chapel is beautiful and in lovely condition, and the relative isolation gives a small taste as to what sort of environment it was that the folks on the front here during WWI were operating in. There are no toilets on site - there are a pair of port-a-potties in the parking area roughly 1.5 kilometers downhill from the chapel, although I think these are seasonal. There is a tap behind the chapel built into a perimeter wall that one can drink from - much to my relief given how hot it was the day I went. There's a shuttle which runs frequently from Tolmin, information for which is available at the hotels in the town as well as in the town museum. I drove and then hiked, as I was not eager to share a van in these COVID times. This involved roughly seven kilometers on a narrow and winding mountain road before I parked at the base of the final ascent. It is also possible to simply hike this road, which I saw a decent number of people doing. The final bit is roughly a kilometer and a half up-hill on a well-paved road that is set at a steep grade. It was a VERY hot day when I went, so I was beat by the time I reached the top, especially as I hadn't adjusted to the altitude yet.
