Treat yourself to an explosion of Slovene natural wonders packed with architecture, adventure and picture-perfect towns humming with Adriatic allure. Wander Koper’s cobbled old-town lanes for fine Venetian architecture and historic buildings around lively Tito Square. Head to underground wonderlands at the mystical Škocjan Caves to gasp at stalagmites and stalactites in Postojna Cave. Swim in Bled’s crazy cobalt-blue lake and make wishes come true on its tiny tear-shaped island. For adrenaline highs, white-water raft in Bovec, attempt the hike to Mount Triglav or cross the floating walkway above Vintgar Gorge. Hike or bike trails that ribbon through the Istrian Forest, sample zesty seafood and local wines tipped for great things. And prance to Lipica for the white Lipizzaner horses’ fancy footwork. Climb down limestone cliffs of the Karst edge, truffle hunt or simply stroll the stony streets of petite, picturesque Ljubljana under the medieval masterpiece which shapes its skyline.
