The monument to the four hearts of men is located in Ribčevem Lazu. Around it is a smaller park. It is one of the major sights of the place, next to the church of St. John the Baptist, today under the monumental protection and the statue of the Goldsmith. The monument was erected in 1978, when the 200th anniversary of the first ascent of Triglav was made by sculptor Stojan Batic. It can be seen in front of the Jezero Hotel and is directed towards Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia. The first ascent to the mountain was on August 25, 1778. It was made by the local hunter Stefan Rosic from Savica, the early warrior Lovro Willomitzer from Stara Fuzina, and the miners Luka Korosec from Koprivnik and Matevz Kos from Jereka. The initiator and patron of this exploratory ascent was Baron Ziga Zois, a Slovenian entrepreneur, mineralogist and reborn. The monument is protected by the Srednja vas and the Bohinjska Bistrica Mountaineering Association. This was taken in the summer when I visited Ribcev Laz – Bohinj

I like the monument. Did you watch the handball final between Croatia and Spain? I saw the end and it was exciting. There were a lot of people from Croatia in the crowd. Great match.
Thanks for watching and kind comment, dear friend….I watched the whole match and Spain deservedly won the championship …. the match was worth watching and the finals
The last minutes were really exciting. It was a good match.
Maybe the referee could even take the ball to the Spaniards for an inactive attack and the Croats would still have time to equalize …. but anyway let’s leave the referee’s decisions …. The Spaniards deserve the title
