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.

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.

Velika Planina is an alpine plateau in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and is home to one of the largest herdsmen settlements in Europe. The settlement includes about 140 traditional huts, used for summer livestock pastures. As a visitor, you can experience what life on the plateau was like in the past while enjoying spectacular views of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps and the Ljubljana Basin. Several huts also offer the chance to taste traditional local food, making the visit both scenic and cultural.

Robanov Kot

Robanov Kot (Roban’s Corner) is a hidden gem in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, located near the Logar Valley. Like Logar Valley, it is a glacial valley. The sign from the main road is easy to miss, which adds to its sense of seclusion. We love visiting Robanov Kot for its solitude and untouched natural beauty. Several isolated farms in the valley are still in operation.
