Slovenia: Updates & Travel

Travel in Slovenia

• Slovenia is not (yet) a very popular holiday destination, and it is one of the greenest countries in Europe. It has the characteristic capital Ljubljana. Furthermore, it is still reasonably cheap and a sunny summer destination.
• Under the high peaks of Mount Triglav lies the glacier lake Lake Bohinj. Here you can go kayaking or mountain climbing in the area.
• The Logarska Dolina National Park is worth a walk with a glacier valley, grassland and mountain peaks.
• Discover Slovenia's underground world heritage during a guided tour: the Škocjan Caves. The Reka River plunges through these caves for 34 kilometres and at one point you can cross this river via the famous Cerkvenik Bridge.
• Slovenia is well on its way to becoming the European paradise for extreme sports. In the Sǒca Valley, for example, you can go canyoning down waterfalls, rafting on the river or paragliding above the beautiful landscape. JoHotspots in Slovenia
• Piran is a charming coastal town on the Istrian peninsula with beautiful Venetian architecture.
• Predjama Castle, built halfway up a cliff face in the entrance to a cave, is one of the most uniquely situated castles in the world. This four-storey fortress is definitely worth a visit and the drawbridge over the fast-flowing river is not to be missed.
• If you are looking for a colourful and lively nightlife, go to the capital: Ljubljana. In the summer months, the old city centre really comes to life. Everywhere on the streets you will see friendly people coming out of the pubs and cafes. Metelkova, a former army barracks in Ljubljana, which used to house squatters, now serves as an alternative mix of pubs, art studios, and clubs where all kinds of music genres are played. During the day, you can take the funicular up to the castle to enjoy the view or admire the frescoes of St. Nicholas Cathedral. JoHorribles in Slovenia
• Bicycles can be rented in various tourist places. Be careful when you go cycling, Slovenians are not used to cyclists in traffic.
