Old Water mill on Mura River

On the way back home from Prekmurje I stopped at Verzej, a small town on the right side of the Mura river. There is one of the two water mills that are still left on the river.

Her husband Vladimir joined us shortly and he was kind enough to take me around.

At the Plitvice NP it was really a pleasant atmosphere almost 20 degrees Celsius lower than at the coast.
