Restaurant Grad Štanjel
In the medieval village of Štanjel in the Slovenian Karst region, you will find Restaurant Grad Štanjel (Castle Štanjel). It is located in the restored castle at the center of the village. The castle has a beautiful courtyard, where the restaurant has a fantastic outdoor terrace. The Karst region and its climate provide the perfect place for a unique dining experience. We visited the restaurant in early August and enjoyed a fantastic three-course lunch. The restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide — very well deserved!

Boka Waterfall
Boka Waterfall is the largest waterfall in Slovenia. It is located in the Soča Valley, just west of the town of Bovec. The waterfall is visible directly from the road between Bovec and Kobarid, making it difficult to miss. Since it is located not far from the road, it is easy to make a quick stop and visit the waterfall while travelling between the many other attractions in the Soča Valley. We visited the waterfall in mid-May, when it was full of water.

Zadnja (Upper) Trenta
Zadnja Trenta is the highest and most remote part of the Trenta Valley. In our opinion, it is also the valley’s most beautiful part, where towering peaks meet crystal-clear streams, riverbeds, rich flora and fauna in a spectacular landscape. Although more and more visitors are discovering this hidden corner of Slovenia, it still feels as though time has stood still. The traditional houses and architecture have changed little over the centuries. The valley is part of Triglav National Park and is therefore a protected area.

Izola
Izola shares many similarities with Piran, but it also has its own distinct character. Both towns have a strong Venetian heritage and a lively restaurant scene, where you can enjoy Istrian seafood while watching the sun set over the Adriatic Sea. Izola is less well known and less touristy than Piran, offering a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. Its name comes from the Italian word for “island.” Like many other towns in Istria, Izola has a rich history shaped by a variety of cultures.

Soča River Source
The Soča River is probably Slovenia’s most remarkable river, known for its distinctive emerald-green colour and the beautiful valleys through which it flows. The source of the Soča River is located in the incredibly beautiful Zadnja Trenta Valley and marks the beginning of a 138 km long river that flows through the Trenta and Soča Valleys before emptying into the Adriatic Sea near Monfalcone in Italy. After the source, there is a series of beautiful waterfalls to admire.
