Slovenia

Europe
Written By nina dykes

I had barely heard of Slovenia nor was it on my travel bucket list until a family I met claimed it was the best place they had ever been to. After that, I started researching Slovenia and I knew we had to find a way to visit this country on our European Alps trip. 

Our visit to Slovenia did not disappoint, I still rave about it and tell anyone traveling to the Alps that they have to make a stop in Slovenia. Stunning natural beauty but still not overrun with tourist or crowds. Slovenia is definitely a hidden gem.

Getting Around: We took a train into Bled then picked up a rental car for exploring the area. Slovenia is great for a mini rad trip and we definitely recommend renting a car.

Best Places to Visit:

  • Vintgar Gorge

  • Zelenci Nature Reserve

  • Lake Jasna

  • Vrsic Pass

  • Soca Spring

  • Triglav National Park

  • Soca River Valley

  • Lake Bled

  • Ojstrica Viewpoint

Places we didn't go but would visit if we went back:

  • Ljublanja

  • Tolmin Gorge

  • Bovec (for alpine adventures)

  • Postoja Caves
