Wired road

obzici

This Saturday the City of Ljubljana held the 54th ‘Pot ob žici’, a walk around Ljubljana on the path that runs along the course of the barb wire fence which surrounded Ljubljana during World War II, when the Italian and later German occupying forces tried to prevent contacts between the city and its hinterland. The barb wire fence was guarded by around 1,300 soldiers and 400 policemen, who checked the identity papers of those travelling to and from the city. Attended.
