Highlights of Slovenia: From Alpine Lakes to the Adriatic Sea

After breakfast, discover the best of Bled. Visit the medieval Bled Castle, perched high above the lake, and glide across the water in a traditional pletna boat to the island’s wishing bell. For those seeking a touch of adventure, an optional walk through the Vintgar Gorge offers crystal waters and lush scenery. Later, we continue to Lake Bohinj, set deep within Triglav National Park. Take a cable car to Mount Vogel for breathtaking alpine views before returning to Bled.

Today, we head south, where myths and landscapes intertwine. In Postojna Cave, one of Europe’s greatest natural wonders, you’ll meet the mysterious “baby dragons”, the rare proteus that inhabit its underground world. Nearby, the dramatic Predjama Castle, built into a cliff, looks like something from a legend of knights and dragons. Continue to Lipica, home to the world-famous Lipizzan horses, before reaching the Adriatic coast. Enjoy the sea breeze and a relaxing evening by the water.

Wake up to the charm of the Mediterranean. In Piran, wander narrow alleys and old stone streets that tell the stories of centuries of Venetian history. From the town walls, the views of the red rooftops and the sea are unforgettable. Later, visit the Sečovlje Salt Pans, where salt has been harvested by hand for more than 700 years. In the afternoon, we return to Ljubljana, the lively Slovenian capital, where you can enjoy its welcoming cafés and vibrant evening atmosphere.
