Piran
Ending the day in Piran after a full day along the Slovenian Adriatic coast is one of our favorite traditions. We do it almost every year when we are in Slovenia. There is much to love about Piran—the architecture, the narrow alleys, and, above all, enjoying a good dinner along the Prešeren Embankment while watching the sun set over the sea. Piran is unique in Slovenia.

Radovljica
Radovljica is our hometown in Slovenia. When we visit, we stay in our apartment there. The town is located in the Gorenjska region (Upper Carniola) and is rich in history, reflecting the different eras of the region. The town centre dates back to the Middle Ages. Today, Radovljica is known for its honey, beekeeping traditions, and chocolate, and it hosts an annual chocolate festival. Not far down in the valley below, the Sava Bohinjka and Sava Dolinka rivers merge to form the Sava River.

Lake Jasna
Lake Jasna is a small but very scenic lake located just above the town of Kranjska Gora in the Julian Alps. You pass the lake on the way up to the Vršič Pass. The surrounding high mountains provide a beautiful backdrop. We often stop by Lake Jasna—sometimes on the way to another destination, sometimes for a coffee, and occasionally for a short swim.

Vintgar Gorge
We visited Vintgar Gorge in the summer of 2025. I was a bit skeptical at first, as it can feel like a tourist trap when you read about it or see the place. Fortunately, Irina convinced me to go. Although there is an entrance fee, it’s definitely worth it to see the gorge, the Radovna River flowing through it, and its waterfall. Being so close to Bled, the area attracts many tourists in the summer, but fortunately, everything is well organized.

Trenta Valley
The Trenta Valley is one of the most beautiful and untouched valleys in the Julian Alps. It is also the source of the Soča River (known as the Isonzo in Italian), widely regarded as one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe — and we wholeheartedly agree. The valley offers endless opportunities for nature and adventure enthusiasts: rafting, ziplining, hiking, cycling, and more. For us, one of the greatest joys is simply driving through the valley, soaking in its atmosphere and breathtaking beauty.

Lake Bohinj
Lake Bohinj is located about 25 km southwest of Lake Bled. To get there, you drive from Bled through a long alpine valley, and it feels like entering a different world with a slower pace. Deeper into the alpine landscape, you’ll find significantly fewer tourists, more untouched nature, and a wilder, more authentic side of Slovenia.
