It was also populated in the Roman times (around 500 AD) There are still remains of building foundations, foundries and iron melting areas.<\/p>\n

The warring clouds have vanished from the skies;<\/p>\n
The war of men has ended with the night.<\/p>\n
The morning sun gilds the tree heads that rise<\/p>\n
Supreme above the Carniola’s snowpeaks white.<\/p>\n
The lake of Bohinj calm in stillness lies,<\/p>\n
No sign of strife remains to outward sight;<\/p>\n
Yet in the lake the fierce pike never sleep,<\/p>\n
nor other fell marauders of the deep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
