Velika Planina
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.

Kamnik-Savinja Alps
The Kamnik-Savinja Alps lie east of the Julian Alps, just north of Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana. They have a different vibe than the Julian Alps—tourist crowds are smaller, local life feels more authentic, and traditions are better preserved. The area also features one of the most beautiful valleys in the Alps, making it an excellent destination for visitors seeking both nature and cultural experiences.

Domaine Slapšak
Domaine Slapšak is a producer of high-quality sparkling wines, made using the traditional method, just like in Champagne. Their specialty is blending classic Champagne grape varieties with the local Žametna Črnina grape. The winery has been producing wines for several generations, but it is only recently that they have started producing sparkling wines—and there is a special story behind this.

Bled
Bled town and Lake Bled are probably the most well-known locations in Slovenia. When we are in the country, we stay not far from Lake Bled, which allows us to visit often—for swimming or simply enjoying a drink by the lake in the evening. We usually prefer to go by bicycle, as traffic in and out of Bled can cause long queues, especially during the summer when there are many tourists.

Logar Valley
The Logar Valley is considered one of the most beautiful glacial valleys in Europe and the Alps—and we couldn’t agree more. The valley lies on the eastern side of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, a region slightly off the main tourist routes and less visited than the Julian Alps. This gives the area a calmer atmosphere, allowing visitors to explore in peace and quiet.

Mount Blegoš
Blegoš, at 1,562 meters, is part of the pre-alps in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia and is the second-highest peak in the area. This part of Slovenia is relatively undiscovered and easy to overlook, making it a perfect destination for those seeking easier hikes away from the crowds. On clear days, you are rewarded with impressive panoramic views of Slovenia in all directions.
