About Slovenia & Slotrips

Welcome to Slovenia! It is NOT Slovakia, Estonia or Transylvania. It is sLOVEnia! A beautiful country with 2 million (more or less) happy people, nestled between the northern tip of the Adriatic Sea and the eastern tip of the stunning Alps. Do not look for us somewhere in the middle of Russia. We are in central Europe! Bordering Italy, Austria, Hungary, and Croatia!

This web page is dedicated to all outdoor fans! To everyone who would like to spend amazing holidays, surrounded by colourful meadows, white mountains, jaw-dropping waterfalls, green forests, endless wine hills and crystal-clear rivers and lakes. We have plenty of that here in Slovenia! Visit us and see by yourself! Check our trip ideas or get help from the experts for your perfect green holidays.

Be active & discover Slovenia! Lose yourself among the forests, hike on the highest peaks of the gorgeous Julian Alps, cycle between the lonely vineyards, ski the virgin white slopes, explore the dark caves of the Karst and visit all amazing natural or cultural sights that Slovenia has to offer!

Apart from the list of activities, we are preparing a collection of special places to stay! These are the places that offer something more. The places with a special charm, happy owners, or an extraordinary view. We truly believe that you will like them!

The image above gives see a simple overview of ‘what is where’. Yes! You are right! Slovenia has a shape of a chicken. Here are just the main features to give you a rough idea:

• The north-west is an alpine paradise with the highest mountains, turquoise rivers and crystal-clear lakes. Do not miss Lake Bohinj, picture-perfect Lake Bled or the ‘water-sport Mecca’ – Soca Valley.
• The south-west region has a Mediterranean 'touch'. It touches the Adriatic Sea and the hinterland is full of cute little hills, vineyards, olive trees, and Karst phenomena. Postojna and Skocjan caves, Lipica stud farm and the charming coastal town of Piran are the main highlights.
• The north-east is very diverse. The north is home to the gorgeous Kamnik-Savinja Alps with the ‘fairytale’ Logar Valley and the cutest alpine meadow (Velika Planina). Further east you will find extensive wine regions, first-class food, happy people and a number of thermal spas.
• The south-east has a lot to offer in terms of spa-tourism. The bordering Kolpa River is a very popular bathing spot in summer. Here you will find vast forests, cute vineyards and warm people.
• Don’t forget about the most enchanting European capital – Ljubljana! Without a major attraction it will charm you with its simplicity and relaxed atmosphere!

This is it! You are ready to start exploring Slovenia! Go into its green ‘heart’ fill your lungs and be happy! Keep our nature clean, respect the animals and the people! Enjoy!
