Baffi House of Pizza
Not far from Bled, not far from the highway to Austria, and not far from our apartment, there is a pizzeria considered by many to be the best in Gorenjska (Upper Carniola). It serves perfectly prepared Neapolitan pizzas made with fresh local ingredients, best enjoyed with a craft beer or a glass of Slovenian wine. This is the perfect place to visit if you want to escape the tourist crowds in Bled and experience a slightly quieter, more authentic side of Slovenia. But, it is popular and fills up quickly, especially during the summer.

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.

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.
