Trenta

Trenta Valley with river Soca is on the western side of Triglav National Park in Slovenia. You can come there from Vrsic pass or from Bovec direction. On the way through the Trenta Valley you can see a lot of beautiful natural and cultural sights starting with Soca spring, monument Kugy, big and small Soca troughs, views of the mountains all the way, military cemeteries from the 1st World War, museum and much more.

Lake Bohinj

Lake Bohinj with its neighbourhood is for sure one of the most beautiful places in Slovenia, especially for nature lovers. There are a lot of different possibilities what to do there if you spend there a few days. You can just relax on some of many beaches around the lake, in summer months you can swim, you can hike around the lake, visit Savica Waterfall, visit Mostnica Gorge with Voje Valley, take a ride to Vogel where is great view of Lake Bohinj and Julian Alps ...

Mangart

Road to the Mangart Saddle is one of the most interesting Alpine roads in Slovenia. All the way you have nice views of Julian Alps. You must be carefull cause sheep can cross the road. During the drive you can stop beside the road and enjoy in views. When you come to the Mangart Saddle (more than 2000 m above sea level) you can park somewhere near road and continue to walk to Mangart summit. Choose Italian way if you are not so much experienced mountaineer. But anyway it takes about 2 hours to come to summit, so choose good shoes and don't go in bad weather.

Krvavec

Krvavec is one of the most popular wintersport centre in Slovenia with different ski slopes. It is quite near the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana. You can use cable railway to come to Krvavec. Krvavec is also nice place for hiker lovers in summer with many possibilities for hiking around where you can meet with the cows on pasture. Around Krvavec you can find many options for eating or drinking.

Rakov Skocjan

Rakov Skocjan is a very interesting landscape park in Slovenia. There is educational natural trail where you can see 14 different places with information boards. Most attractive places are Little Natural Bridge, Big Natural Bridge, Tkalca Cave ... You need a few hours if you want to see whole trail. On the half of the way is Hotel Rakov Skocjan where you can drink or eat something. Most of the path is easy for walking, except you have to be careful around Small Natural Bridge where are most interesting places to see. Nearby attraction is also Lake Cerknica and a little further Sneznik Castle.

Smartinsko Lake

Smartinsko Lake is not as attractive as some other lakes in Slovenia like Bled or Bohinj but it is anyway worth to see especially if you visit Celje cause it is not far away. It's artificial lake with nice walking trails around lake that goes also on some galleries above lake and over floating bridge. If you like to row you can rent a boat or take a trip with bigger boat. There are also some places where you can drink or eat something so enough things to spend at least some time there.

Vrsic

Vrsic is mountain pass in Julian Alps in Slovenia. During winter months is closed because of snow but in other seasons it is one of the most scenic routes in Slovenia. Vrsic is on the way from Kranjska gora to Bovec. On this way u can see a lot of interesting things like lake Jasna, Vrsic pass with Julian Alps around, river Soca with its spring, troughs, suspension bridges ... Around the mountain pass Vrsic there are three mountain huts so you can stop, eat or dring something or even sleep.

Bled

Bled is one of the most visited places in Slovenia. It looks like some fairy tale scene with an island on the lake, Bled Castle above lake and mountains around. I used to go there on half-day trips just to relax in the afternoon. Especially it is nice in summer to go on some of the beaches around Lake Bled and refresh in the water. In other not so hot parts of the year it is nice to go jogging or hiking around lake or to climb on some small hills near lake like Osojnica or Ojstrica where is nice view of the lake. In the winter at least a part of lake is often frozen.

Velika planina

Velika planina is high mountain plateau near Kamnik. It is possible to go there hiking from foothills or to use cable car. The latter is of course much more easier and faster option. Anyway even if you use this option there is still a lot of possibilities to hike on Velika planina plateau with nice views on Kamnik-Savinja Alps. On the plateau is herdsmen's settlement with very interesting cottages. You can visit also chappel of Marija Snezna or visit natural attraction Vetrnica (cave). There are also many moutain huts where you can sit down and relax and of couse drink or eat something.

Arboretum Volcji potok

Arboretum Volcji potok is a botanical garden. It is located near Kamnik. There are many different kind of plants. It is nice to visit it around May to see a lot tulips. But don't worry, also in other months you can find a lot of interesting things. There are also many ponds with benches around to sit down and relax. All around are nice flowers that we can admire. Near the entrance of Arboretum Volcji potok is located Minimundus section with some world famous buildings in smaller versions. There is also some special greenhouse with orchids and butterflies.
