Hello and welcome to another edition of Thursday Doors in which it’s not so much about the doors but about the experience. We are on a visit to the south of Slovenia and one of its numerous castles.
I visited Žužemberk in the last days of my summer stay back in Slovenia – where I’m from – after the lovely breakfast with my friend who celebrated yesterday. The day was not all that but I decided to drive for a bit and this is where the road took me.
The castle is right next to the main road, all open and accessible, free to enter with minimum visitors (whereas in Italy it would be 15 eur), and yet nicely organised with plenty to see and explore.
Follow me along and read the captions for more info, say on lynx. There will be witches, as for doors, there are some but sometimes there are just holes in walls, leaving us to draw in our own doors.
And finally, a shout-out to my blogging buddy Crystal who has caught the door virus form my posts. Yeah! That’s why we do what we do. Have a look at the beauties she found in Providence. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Dan, I’m glad you like it. I was quite high up when taking the photo of the tiny door through a window, and later didn’t (or couldn’t) go down to see it from up close.
This place is too. much. fun!!! I would have looked through the little window too. The grounds make me think of a child’s imagination, over and over. I would have spent hours there if I could. Thanks for the shout out, my effervescent friend.
Great, Crystal, so it wasn’t just my feeling about this place. And I see you’re linking your doors to Norm’s Doors, excellent! They deserve to be seen. You’re always welcome! “Effervescent” I’m quite sure I have never used in a sentence. 😀 It’s a great word, thanks!
See yourself included up there? By clicking on all other links you can visit their blog posts and see their doors. Much fun! There are still a couple of days’ time for others to add theirs.
My favorite is the 2nd picture – there really are two different worlds peeking in from those holes in the wall. This looks like a great place to visit!
That first photo! If I could build a castle playhouse for my daycare kiddos, That is just how I would picture it looking. And complete with those little doors and gates 🙂
I will not ask you questions at the end of posts to trick you into commenting. So when you do it on your own, it's that more appreciated. Thank you! Cancel reply
Oh my gosh–so many little nooks and crannies! What a fun place this is to visit.

Thank you, Lois, it was great fun if a bit brief because I was alone and running along to beat the rain.

I did link my doors post but I can’t see how it works, or if I want to see somebody else’s doors, how do I do that?
Effervescent was a word made for you, I think.

Thank you, Norm. I did but since I was alone, I was rushing through more than necessary. I tend to do that. I’d need a child. 😀
