The old mill on river Kolpa

My Scholarship entry - 'A place I have visited'

Kolpa river is the south border between Slovenia and Croatia. A large part of the landscape around the river is part of the Regional park Kolpa. In the past, this place was a home to many mills and sawmills, but nowadays only a few are preserved. The river often floods the riverside, sometimes the water is so high it floods the entire road to the mill. During the big floods in the summer an old wooden boat washed up on the courtyard of the mill and the owners tied it on a tree.
