Slovenia is a country of idyllic landscapes and quaint cities. Stretching from the Adriatic Sea to the Julian Alps and with over half of the country draped in fairytale landscapes, there is no escaping the sheer beauty of this country.
A trip to the Upper Carniola region (or Gorenjska) will leave you breathless. Triglav National Park is the only national park in Slovenia and it is sublime. Snow-dusted mountains, enchanted Alpine meadows and shimmering turquoise lakes stretch for miles. The iconic Lake Bohinj and dreamy Soča River can be found within the park, while Lake Bled nestles on the outskirts.
Slovenia is also home to a magical subterranean world of caves and waterfalls. Locals insist that Vilenica was once inhabited by fairies and Socerb Jama provided a haven for St. Socerb.
Along with majestic landscapes, Slovenia is also home to a number of old cities. Be sure to visit the coastal cities of Piran and Koper, go wine-tasting in Maribor, and explore the capital, Ljubljana.
Slovenia is a place where hearts are awakened and fairytales do come true.
