Slovenia: an attractive holiday gem in Europe

As a traveller you can experience breathtaking nature with waterfalls, the Alps and gorges - but also chilled out cities like Ljubljana. Slovenia is one of the EU states with the greatest biodiversity: one in every 50 known mainland animal and plant species in the world occurs here.
Ljubljana is a cool but at the same time relaxed and small capital. Only around 280,000 residents live there and enjoy life along the Ljubljanica River, over which more than twelve bridges lead in the city.
Bled, a small town near the Austrian border - travellers will find perhaps the most photographed object in the country: St. Mary's Church on the small island in the lake.
The Vipava Valley stretches between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, a real insider tip! Travelers can explore picturesque stone villages and taste local wines there. Other regional delicacies are also served, such as the air-dried raw ham Vipaski Prsut, fruit and other delicious dishes.
The Postojna cave system is world-famous and huge: it winds a total of 24 kilometres underground, five of which can be visited. This means that Slovenia has the second largest stalactite caves in the world that have been developed for tourism.
Whether rafting, kayaking, climbing, hiking or camping in the countryside: outdoor fans on vacation in Slovenia definitely have to go to the Bovec community in the Soča Valley, through which the mountain river of the same name runs.
