Golica
Golica is a peak (1,835 m) in the Karawanke range on the border between Slovenia and Austria. Its German name is Kahlkogel. The mountain is famous for its fields of daffodils that bloom on the slopes in spring (April–May), but it’s worth visiting throughout the summer months as the view from the summit is phenomenal. The hike to the top from the Golica plateau just below the summit is relatively short.

Talež
The hike up to Talež is a quick and easy route that can be completed in 30–45 minutes, making it perfect for a short workout after work. At the top, you’ll find a larger hunting lodge with fantastic views of Bled, Radovljica, and the surrounding valley. We often hike up to Talež to get some exercise and enjoy the scenery.

Lake Bohinj
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
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.

Mount 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.
