Mangart Saddle
The road to Mangart Saddle is the highest in Slovenia, reaching a peak altitude of 2,072 meters. It was built in 1938 by the Italian army under Mussolini, as this part of Slovenia belonged to Italy at the time. The ascent is narrow, with many hairpin bends, and the road is quite exposed, making it unsuitable for the faint-hearted. However, once you reach the top, you are rewarded with fantastic natural scenery and breathtaking panoramic views.

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.

Hiša Franko
Over the past 15–20 years, a culinary trend has emerged in Slovenia that focuses on refining traditional Slovenian dishes, using locally sourced organic products, and supporting local farmers and producers. Much of this trend can be attributed to the Michelin-starred restaurant Hiša Franko and its owners, Ana Roš and Valter Kramar. Hiša Franko is located in the Soča Valley, one of the most beautiful and unspoiled regions of Slovenia.
