SK, Oravska Magura - Winter Walk
On our trips in Slovenskem we made a stop in Orava. Looking at snow covered slopes we couldnt resist to take a winter walk even with our four legged pet. Despite heavy snowing and wind, we enjoyed the atmosphere of Oravian nature. White frosted trees, snow under our feet and our sight was captued by clouds going over the hills of the Oravska Magura.
