Start your adventure by immersing yourself in the pristine beauty of Lake Bled. Rent a paddleboat or rowboat to explore the lake, admire the charming island with a baroque church, or take a hike up to the Ojstrica viewpoint for a breathtaking view of the lake.
Discover the underground wonderland of Postojna Cave, the world-famous cave system with spectacular stalactites, stalagmites, and underground halls. Take a 1.5-hour guided tour to learn about the cave's history and unique features, and don't miss the vivid “spaghetti” formations in the Brilliant Passage.
Experience the thrill of rafting down the emerald-green Soča River, one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe. Choose from various rafting routes depending on your skills and preferences, and enjoy the stunning scenery of the Julian Alps and the Triglav National Park along the way.
Get closer to nature by hiking through the Vintgar Gorge, a stunning natural attraction near Bled. Follow the wooden walkways that snake along the Radovna River and marvel at the turquoise pools, waterfalls, and vertical rock walls. The highlight is the 13-metre-high Šum Waterfall.
Explore the natural wonders of the Triglav National Park, Slovenia's only national park and a paradise for adventure seekers. Take a hike to the summit of Mount Triglav for panoramic views of the Julian Alps, go canyoning in the gorges, or spot endemic wildlife like brown bears and lynx.
End your adventure by soaking up the cultural charm of Ljubljana, Slovenia's vibrant capital city. Explore the picturesque old town with its Baroque architecture and lively open-air markets, climb up to the Ljubljana Castle for stunning views, or take a boat ride on the Ljubljanica River.
You can rent a car for the whole duration of the trip, which costs around 150 euros per week. Alternatively, you can use public transportation, which is efficient and affordable in Slovenia. For example, a bus ride from Ljubljana to Lake Bled costs around 7 euros and takes 1 hour.
If you have more time, consider adding the following places to your itinerary: Piran, a charming coastal town; the Skocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site with impressive underground canyons; and the Predjama Castle, a medieval castle built into a cave. If you have less time, skip Vintgar Gorge or one of the national park activities.
