Start your adventure at the Vintgar Gorge. This natural masterpiece is carved by the Radovna River and offers breathtaking turquoise pools, cascading waterfalls, and lush greenery. Keep your eyes peeled for trout swimming in the clear waters. Walk along the wooden pathway and over wooden bridges, admire the stunning landscape, and snap some memorable photos. The hike is relatively easy and takes around 1.5 hours.
Nestled in the Julian Alps, Lake Bled is a postcard-perfect destination surrounded by mountains and forests. Take a leisurely stroll around the picturesque lake, rent a boat or a stand-up paddleboard to blend in with the stunning scenery or climb up to the clifftop Bled Castle for panoramic views of the lake and the mountains. Make sure to try a famous Bled cream cake, too!
Triglav National Park is the ultimate destination for any nature lover. This stunning natural reserve is home to the iconic Julian Alps, which boast high mountain peaks, crystal-clear rivers and lakes, and endless lush pastures. Hike to the idyllic Savica Waterfall or the picturesque Lake Bohinj, go mountaineering in the summits of Triglav or Mangart, or simply relax in the natural hot springs of the Alpine valleys.
Škocjan Caves are the largest underground canyon system in Europe, containing picturesque underground lakes, massive stalactites and stalagmites, and subterranean waterfalls. Take a guided tour through the web of mysterious tunnels, hike through the spectacular Silent Cave, and listen to the sound of river Reka echoing through the underground caverns. An unforgettable experience for nature lovers and adventurers alike.
If you have more time, add a visit to Postojna Cave, Idrija, or Piran to your itinerary. If you have less time, skip Lake Bled and spend more time hiking in Triglav National Park.
