Lake Bled, Slovenia. The church on this island has 100 steps to reach it. To be allowed to marry there, the groom must carry the bride up the steps. Slovenia is often overlooked for trips to Europe. Which is a shame, because it has so many beautiful sites and is one of the greenest countries on earth. Just don't bring up the current First Lady. They do not like her, to put it mildly.
It would be nice if there were captions to say where they were. While some are obvious others could be multiple places.
Agreed! These were lovely but I really did want to know where they were from.
