This is such a great photo of Piran, located on the coast just under 2 hours away. It was part of the Venetian kingdom, and still has that feeling.

Today is Slovenian Statehood Day. They declared their independence form Yugoslavia on June 25, 1991. This year it is also the day of the National Cycling Championship. This is an event of international interest due to the high caliber of Slovenian cycling.

Of special interest to anyone who has stayed at Villa Sava is the part about the steep climb at the end of the race route...this is OUR STREET! They describe it as a very demanding short climb. I agree!

The road race venue will be Radovljica, which has already hosted the national championship in 2019. Startno – the target area is on Vurnikov Square near the Library of A.T. Linhart Radovljica, and the circle is 19,5 km long. Cyclists and cyclists will head from Radovljica to Zapužam, then past Zg. And Sp. Otoka to Zgornje Dobrana, where they will turn back towards Radovljica past Kamna gorica and Zg. Lipnica. At the end of the round take off the very demanding short climb, even with an inclination of 20%, to the center of Radovljica.

The races will start at 8.30pm on Sunday, with the climax set at 14.30pm, when the race will be started by riders in the membership competition, where tadej Pogačar and Matej Mohoric are expected to be the main favourites for the national title. The members will take eight rounds, which will be very attractive for the fans along the track. In 8, Domen Novak, now a teammate of Tadej Pogačar, won the national title on this route.

The frost of Autumn has arrived, and we know that snow is not too far behind. Autumn in Slovenia is full of crisp, sunny days, warm bowls of fresh mushroom soup, fewer tourists and a slower pace.

We have made a small change this year to our rentals. This year, we are only renting out the main part of the house comprising of the main and lower level.

Why? Because our top floor apartment is currently home to a energetic young Ukrainian woman named Alina and her three-year-old son Lyovo. We were connected with them through a group called Ukraine Shelter (founded by a man from Kropa!). We are happy to host them, and they feel safe and secure in Radovljica.

They are our guests at Villa Sava, and she is earning some spending money cleaning for us and at a few other local places. The tourism traffic typically slows down in mid-October and jobs get fewer and farther between. In light of this, we encourage you to consider booking a visit to Villa Sava this year. Our Ukranian guests are not looking for a handout, but a hand up.

The Villa is a nice getaway at any time of year, and there is much to do year-round in Slovenia.

Thank you/Hvala Lepa/Дякую тобі

Ukraine Shelter is creating support and safe housing for Ukrainians displaced by the war. We will do our best to contact and help everyone who needs or offers help, however please understand that we are desperately busy and trying to work under difficult circumstances.
