Slovenia

Bled Village, Bled, Slovenia
Though you don't see it at first glance, the bustling little resort burg of Bled does have an old quarter. It lies a short stroll up the hill, just past the cement shopping centers and modern lakeside hotels—but these remnants of what was once an Alpine village are vanishing fast. There are still a few old buildings built of dark wood boards or plaster flaking off brick, with steeply sloping roofs and wildflowers blooming in the grass between the wagon wheel ruts of the dirt bank ramps leading to the second story. But these are fast being renvoated into—or replaced with—modern takes on the Alpine look in cement and plaster, all horizontal lines and squat wideness where the older buidlings were narrow, tall, and clapboard. Still, it remains a quiet, villagey corner of town, where giant breeds of dog—mastiffs, great danes, Newfoundlands—laze around tidy little fenced yards, several pairs of dirt-caked sneakers cluster around the welcome mats of each front door, and every floor on all the houses is wrapped in a long balcony.
