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 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.

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and the country’s most important business hub. The city has a compact, walkable center that is easy and pleasant to explore. Along the Ljubljanica River, you’ll find many small cafés, bars, and restaurants worth visiting for their selection of Slovenian food and wines. The old town beneath Ljubljana Castle is also particularly charming and deserves a visit. In most countries, the capital city would be at the top of a bucket list—but in Slovenia, Ljubljana faces stiff competition from the country’s many other outstanding attractions.

Korenika-Moškon is a small but exceptional wine producer in Slovenian Istria. The winery is located in the village of Korte, high in the hills above Piran and Portorož. Sometimes we organize wine parties for our friends, and at one of these events, their orange wine Sulne came in second place, just behind a great Barbaresco from Ca’ del Baio in Piedmont.
Read MoreMount Stol (Hohstuhl)
Mount Stol is the highest peak in the Karawanke range. Climbing it is an amazing natural experience, and it takes a full day to reach the summit and return. Once you complete the climb, you’re left with an incredible sense of accomplishment and a memory that stays with you for a long time. For me, Stol was the first mountain I climbed in the Karawanke range, having previously mostly climbed peaks in the Julian Alps and the Kamnik–Savinja Alps.
