Bruised by coronavirus, Slovenian boatmen restore "pletna" for tourist comeback (3)

Anze Logar builds a new "pletna" boat at his workshop in Bled, Slovenia, March 13, 2021. Every off season, Slovenian boatmen take the "pletna" rowing boat out of Lake Bled, a famous resort shining like a sapphire outside Liubljana, the country's capital. They then disassemble the wooden boats, refurbish each piece, and put them together again, ready for the next ride. The process helps the hand-made vessel last up to 30 years.
