Vršič Pass
Vršič Pass is Slovenia’s highest mountain pass open to road traffic. The road connects Kranjska Gora on the northern side of the Julian Alps with the Trenta and Soča valleys and the town of Bovec on the southern side. It is an exceptionally scenic route that attracts large numbers of drivers, motorcyclists, and cyclists during the summer months. However, the history of the pass, and the reasons for its construction, is not so beautiful.

Restaurant Kamin
The main attraction of Restaurant Kamin is the spectacular view from its terrace overlooking the entire Gulf of Trieste. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Grado in Italy on the opposite side of the bay, the town of Izola below, and, in the distance, Triglav and the Julian Alps. With a bit of luck, you may even catch a glimpse of the Dolomites. The fantastic scenery makes the excellent food taste even better.

Piran Wall
The Piran city wall is one of the best spots for fantastic views and beautiful photos of Piran, unless you have a drone, of course. Although we have visited Piran countless times, it wasn’t until early April this year that we finally explored the wall. It was a wonderful spring day during Easter, with plenty of visitors, especially Slovenians and Italians. Given Piran’s proximity to Italy, the town attracts many day visitors.

Hiša Polonka
Hiša (House) Polonka is a gostilna / trattoria run by Valter Kramar, co-owner of the three-Michelin-star restaurant Hiša Franko. It offers a completely different experience from Hiša Franko, with a strong focus on simplicity, charm, and authenticity in a homely setting. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the menu is built around local ingredients and traditional dishes. The restaurant is located in the town of Kobarid in the Soča Valley.

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.

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.
