Un endroit isolé et magnifique. Nous avons visité cet endroit en septembre, nous étions seuls et nous avons pu profiter de la beauté de cette église. Possibilité de se garer dans le (petit) village et de marcher 10 minutes afin d’y accéder. Je recommande pour une expérience simple mais hors du commun

Such a beautiful and peaceful place! The church is charming, and the location offers absolutely stunning views of the surrounding mountains and countryside. The atmosphere is so serene and special — definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area. A lovely hidden gem in Slovenia!

Magnificent, except... if you run into a group of Sicilian bikers who mistake the church square for a parking lot. Karma catches up with them quickly, and we had a good laugh at their encounter with the local farmer. The poor guy, having to deal with such idiots can't be easy every day... Abroad, even more than at home, you respect the rules of the road, sacred places, and at least a little consideration for your fellow human beings. But if you're lucky enough to walk to the Chapel (yes, you have to walk, Sicilian or not!), under different circumstances, the place is magical.

A superb spot. We parked in the village and took the path to the church. The view is stunning, such beautiful nature.
