Iski vintgar

Iski vintgar is a beautiful place in Slovenia, not so far from Ljubljana. You can leave the car on the quite big parking area near lodge house Iski vintgar. If you like just short walk and do some refreshment in the cool water in hot summer days then I suggest you to stay on the left bank of river Iska and continue on the way to the end of the path. There you will see nice beach where is possible to swim. If you like more hiking then you have to cross the footbridge and continue on the path to the confluence of river Iska and Zaka. On the way there you will see Rocky solitary -Votli kamen (Hollow Stone). At the confluence you can also possibility to swim a little near another Rocky solitary named Skalni moz (Rocky man).

Skocjan Caves

Skocjan Caves are problably the most beautiful caves in Slovenia beside Postojna Cave. Postojna Cave is interesting because of train ride and it is also more touristic. Skocjan Caves on the other side has very interesting stalactites and great walk above canyon of river Reka. It takes more than one hour to get through the cave. Also outside part of the cave is very interesting where you come in Velika doline. There is view on waterfall. A little further you can also see beautiful troughs of river Reka that are located between Velika and Mala dolina.

Triglav

Triglav (2864 m) is the highest mountain in Slovenia. It lies in the Triglav National Park and it is the only national park in Slovenia. If you like hiking, nature, mountains then you must visit it if you come in Slovenia. There are many different ways to come to the top of Triglav summit. The easiest way is from Pokljuka or Krma Valley. It takes about 6 hours in one direction so you have to start with your hike very early if you want to go there and back in one single day. But anyway you can sleep in some of many mountain huts around Triglav but be careful in summer when more people want same so it can be everything occupied. And be careful about weather especially in the afternoon when thunderstorms are more often in summer. At the top of Triglav is Aljaz Tower that is symbol of Triglav (see photo).

Ptuj

Ptuj is interesting old town that exists even before Roman time and lies near river Drava. In the town you can see still many remains from Roman time. I suggest you to walk through old town centre and see Minorite Square with Minorite Monastery, City Square (Mestni trg) with City Hall, Slovene Square (Slovenski trg) with City Tower, etc. Above the city is Ptuj Castle with wonderful view of the town with Ptuj Lake. Must see visit is also Castle museum with many nice rooms and also wine cellar where you can taste wines from neighbourhood. For wine lovers is must see destination Ptuj Wine Cellar where you can see big old barrels in the underground of the city with tasting wine at the end. Just near the town Ptuj you can visit Terme Ptuj with many outside pools and good welness offers in Primus Hotel.

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.
