Zadnja (Upper) Trenta
Zadnja Trenta is the highest and most remote part of the Trenta Valley. In our opinion, it is also the valley’s most beautiful part, where towering peaks meet crystal-clear streams, riverbeds, rich flora and fauna in a spectacular landscape. Although more and more visitors are discovering this hidden corner of Slovenia, it still feels as though time has stood still. The traditional houses and architecture have changed little over the centuries. The valley is part of Triglav National Park and is therefore a protected area.

Izola
Izola shares many similarities with Piran, but it also has its own distinct character. Both towns have a strong Venetian heritage and a lively restaurant scene, where you can enjoy Istrian seafood while watching the sun set over the Adriatic Sea. Izola is less well known and less touristy than Piran, offering a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. Its name comes from the Italian word for “island.” Like many other towns in Istria, Izola has a rich history shaped by a variety of cultures.

Soča River Source
The Soča River is probably Slovenia’s most remarkable river, known for its distinctive emerald-green colour and the beautiful valleys through which it flows. The source of the Soča River is located in the incredibly beautiful Zadnja Trenta Valley and marks the beginning of a 138 km long river that flows through the Trenta and Soča Valleys before emptying into the Adriatic Sea near Monfalcone in Italy. After the source, there is a series of beautiful waterfalls to admire.

Piran Wall
The Piran city wall is one of the best spots for fantastic views and beautiful photos of Piran, unless you have a drone, of course. Although we have visited Piran countless times, it wasn’t until early April this year that we finally explored the wall. It was a wonderful spring day during Easter, with plenty of visitors, especially Slovenians and Italians. Given Piran’s proximity to Italy, the town attracts many day visitors.

Zgornje Jezersko
Zgornje (Upper) Jezersko is a charming village on the northern side of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. Located in a high alpine valley, it lies between the Karawanke mountains to the north and the Kamnik–Savinja Alps to the south. This lesser-known alpine paradise, much like the Logar Valley and Robanov Kot on the eastern side of the range, offers a genuine and authentic mountain environment. Here, you can immerse yourself in unspoiled nature and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, surrounded by beautiful scenery and peaceful landscapes.
