More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the van where the paved road narrows and a slate-roofed bar faces the town square; morning light slices across stone alleys and the air smells faintly of wood smoke and baking bread. The guide collects tickets and the group fans out, drawn by a wooden hanging bridge that trembles above the Rupit river—water daring you to lean over the rails and watch the current push pebbles downstream.
