The time when it’s still winter but spring is ready and waiting

It has been a long winter with lots of snow in the Lake Bled area of Slovenia, but the warm early-March sun was out most of the time in the last few days and snow melted quickly in the valleys. Currently only the mountains still have a covering of snow on the top.

Look at this chamois spotted behind our accommodation Apartments Fine Stay by our guest from Germany, Rainer Frindte!

The chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) is an agile goat-antelope with short hooked horns, found across the mountain ranges in France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Slovenia. They have warm reddish coats in the summer, grey coats in the winter, and thin, black, horns. They are incredibly agile on rocky, uneven terrain thanks to the elastic pads on their hooves. They have been recorded reaching speeds up to 50 km/h and jumping 6 meters vertically into the air!
