Dunići, a village that everyone has forgotten (PiP)

According to legend, the village of Dunići, in this inaccessible place, was founded by several families who were fleeing the plague in ancient times. When they reached the place where the Dunićs are today, they concluded that the disease would not find them there and that they would be safe.

"There is only stone here, nothing can survive here, not even the plague"

When you look at this village from the hill across (where these photos came from), you see a scene similar to Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: the houses are located on the edge of a rock at an altitude of 1100 meters. "There accidentally tourist can't stray", which would be by people said: you have get to him on purpose

The saying of the Navajo Indians may apply to this village: “I was at the end of the earth. I was at the end of the water. I was at the end of the sky. I was at the end of the mountains. I didn't find anything that wasn't my friend… ”

Kako fascinantno. Da li neko danas tamo živi? Čini se da je odvojen od svuda. Pretpostavljam da bi tamo bilo vrlo teško imati struju, kao i druge osnovne potrepštine. I krajolik izgleda fantastično.

Dakle, tamo nema snijega i kiše - gledao sam Giru i oni su ušli u Sloveniju, a vrijeme je stvarno mokro, sniježno i vrlo hladno, ali vaši pogledi ovdje izgledaju nevjerovatno.
