Štorija
Štorija (“The Story”) is a fantastic little gem of a wine shop located on Trubarjeva street in Ljubljana. It has an organized sense of chaos where you can discover some of the most special Slovenian wines. The selection is fun and creative, with a strong focus on natural wines. Most of the bottles come from small boutique wineries that are rarely found outside Slovenia. The owner, David Šinigoj, is passionate and a true expert on Slovenian wines.

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.

Jamnik Church
Jamnik is an ordinary village located in the pre-alps on the eastern side of the Jelovica Plateau. The village has just over 40 inhabitants. However, the church just outside the village is situated in an exceptionally beautiful location, with Gorenjska (Upper Carniola), the Karawanke mountain range, the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, and the Julian Alps as a backdrop. To the south, on the opposite side, the view extends across the pre-alps stretching for miles.

Julian Alps
The Julian Alps lie mostly in Slovenia, with a small portion extending into Italy. While they are not the highest of the Alps, their valleys remain relatively low, making the differences in altitude very noticable. In Slovenia, the Julian Alps are protected within Triglav National Park. In the blog’s non-objective opinion, this region is the most beautiful part of the Alps—only the Dolomites can match.

Mangart Saddle
The road to Mangart Saddle is the highest in Slovenia, reaching a peak altitude of 2,072 meters. It was built in 1938 by the Italian army under Mussolini, as this part of Slovenia belonged to Italy at the time. The ascent is narrow, with many hairpin bends, and the road is quite exposed, making it unsuitable for the faint-hearted. However, once you reach the top, you are rewarded with fantastic natural scenery and breathtaking panoramic views.

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.
