52) Two Citroen GSes and a Douglas DC-3 Dakota (18/Sep/2016)

This was a day trip in the White Carniola (Bela Krajina) region, which is located in the southeastern corner of Slovenia.
A river named Kolpa forms a natural border between Slovenia and Croatia.
We stopped by the river a few times, to enjoy the scenery and stretch our legs.
The trip ended near village Otok (near Metlika), by a fabulous Douglas DC-3 Dakota.
In the second part of World War II, the area around Metlika was a part of liberated territory.
This is where the resistance airfield was located, which allowed for the transport of weapons and other supplies from the British and American allies to Slovenian partisans.
The airfield was also used to transport the seriously wounded partisans to hospitals in Italy.
