Slapnik

In the completely deserted Slapnik you will ask yourselves who were these people, how they lived, why they left and where to.  After World War II most of the villagers emigrated to the Koper littoral region as well as to Argentina and other places around the globe. Slapnik is reached from the Vrhovlje-Korada road, preferably on foot. The village, which is in a state of decay, is full of interesting motifs and beautiful stonemasonry details that testify to its former lively pulse. Waiting for better times, Slapnik is one of the most beautiful motifs for photographers and painters. It is the only village in Brda where no one lives anymore. It was once a village of wealthy farmers, as can be seen in the beautiful architectural details, and today the Church of St. Andrew is in a state of dereliction.
