Vršič Pass Cycling
One of the most popular cycling challenges in Slovenia is cycling up the Vršič Pass from Kranjska Gora. It is a popular challenge among cyclists and has become more accessible with the advent of e-bikes. Its popularity is also reflected in the many cycling events held throughout the year. In mid-August, I wanted to see if I could still cycle up the pass. It was my third time making the climb. The weather was sunny but a little too hot, and I was far from being alone on the road.

Restaurant Triangel
Restaurant Triangel is a fantastic gourmet restaurant located in the village of Gozd Martuljek, a few kilometres from the popular resort town of Kranjska Gora. It offers one of the best views of the Julian Alps, particularly the spectacular Martuljek Group. During the summer months, you can sit on the restaurant’s outdoor terrace, overlooking the mountains while enjoying fantastic food. The menu is modern while at the same time being rooted in local culinary traditions, with traditional dishes reinterpreted using local products and ingredients.

Restaurant Grad Štanjel
In the medieval village of Štanjel in the Slovenian Karst region, you will find Restaurant Grad Štanjel (Castle Štanjel). It is located in the restored castle at the center of the village. The castle has a beautiful courtyard, where the restaurant has a fantastic outdoor terrace. The Karst region and its climate provide the perfect place for a unique dining experience. We visited the restaurant in early August and enjoyed a fantastic three-course lunch. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide — very well deserved!

Boka Waterfall
Boka Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Slovenia. It is located in the Soča Valley, just west of the town of Bovec. The waterfall is visible directly from the road between Bovec and Kobarid, making it difficult to miss. Since it is located not far from the road, it is easy to make a quick stop and visit the waterfall while travelling between the many other attractions in the Soča Valley. We visited the waterfall in mid-May, when it was full of water.

Bohinj Lake Cycling
In mid-May, I cycled from Radovljica to Lake Bohinj. Irina and I had previously cycled together to Bohinjska Bistrica along the cycle path through the valley. This time, I chose a different route over the Pokljuka Plateau, which turned out to be a much tougher challenge. The effort was well worth it, however. The descent from the plateau to Lake Bohinj takes you through incredibly beautiful landscapes, passing several picturesque villages and offering fantastic views down into the valley where the lake is located. The climb may be demanding, but the scenery more than makes up for it.

Restaurant Kodila
Restaurant Kodila is located in the small, unassuming village of Markišavci, just outside Murska Sobota, the capital of Slovenia’s Prekmurje region. Both the location and the restaurant come as a surprise, as you would hardly expect to find a restaurant and delicatessen of this quality in such a quiet village. The restaurant specialises in meat dishes and has earned a Bib Gourmand distinction in the Michelin Guide. We visited for lunch in mid-May and were pleasantly surprised by both the food and the overall experience.
