An interesting destination today. Velika Planina. This is a very traditional, seasonal village at the top of a modern ski resort! The only way to visit the village is to take the gondola from the valley to the base of the ski resort, then the chair from the base to the top of the mountain. Then, a moderate walk downhill to the village itself. Vestiges of an old ski lift remain on the village side, now just snowshoeing and X-country skiing.
This is seasonal living. The herders live in the valleys around the mountain but bring some 400 cattle up each summer for their grazing. Not a lot of 'locals', just us tourists walking around trying to get the best photo including cows, buildings, flowers and the amazing mountain vistas in the background.
