Slovenia will not only thrill you with its natural beauty and the diversity of its countryside, but also with the hospitality of its people and the quality of the services it provides. We Slovenians are hardworking people, and there are many incredible individuals among us who achieve worldwide success in diferent felds - sport, innovation, business, science and art. Our society is modern; it is the society of the future. We live as a sovereign nation, in our own country within the European Union, and we are open to international cultural dialogue and appreciate cooperation and respect. Our mission is to protect the natural and cultural heritage we’ve been bestowed with, and to live healthy and active lives. Slovenia is a country of magnifcent nature. In one corner there are green hills covered with vineyards, and in another, forests stretching as far as the eye can see, and in yet another, a beautiful alpine world; with the coast in the south and fertile plains in the far east. All this variety ofers many opportunities for excursions, sports and other recreational activities. Slovenian cites and rural destinations hide many historical secrets, and also ofer excellent gourmet experiences, where Mediterranean infuenced favours mix with continental tastes and form the healthy traditional Slovenian cuisine. Slovenia also prides itself on its fantastic strategic position at the crossroads of the East and West, the North and South. Only a few hours separate us from Vienna or Venice, as well as other large European cities. Tourism forms an integral part of our society and the fundamental values that guide us in welcoming visitors are originality, authen- ticity, well-being and serving as a home away from home. Slovenia is a diverse and quality destination for all its visitors, which is why I am happy that you are coming from all over the world to meet us and discover our beautiful and exceptional country. Kind regards Borut Pahor President of the Republic of Slovenia 8 Table of Contents Table of Contents 9 35. Žalec 164 75. Ribnica 232 36. Šentjur 168 76. Žužemberk 233 37.

  • Exploring Slovenia's Julian Alps and Beyond
    Exploring Slovenia’s Julian Alps and Beyond Two Treks and Balkan Culture in an Undiscovered Corner of the Alps August 30, 2021 – September 13, 2021 – Trip #2167 Triglav National Park Overview Join us for a wonderful fifteen-day trip to the undiscovered hiking and scenic paradise of Slovenia. We will pass medieval castles, churches, and traditional mountain villages as we walk through valleys, across mountain pastures, and traverse mountain ridges with towering peaks all around us. This trip combines two rugged short treks (one carrying all our gear and staying in mountain huts, and the other staying in hotels with luggage transport), an exciting ascent to Slovenia’s highest peak, and visits to the most scenic and interesting regions of this small, but incredibly beautiful country. A few words about Slovenia itself: it is a small country located in southern central Europe at the intersection of major trade routes and of the Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages and cultures. Historically part of many empires including Rome, Austro-Hungarian, Venice, and France, it is currently a prosperous, democratic European country of two million persons. Over 50% of its landmass remains forested. It is exceptionally bio-diverse for its size particularly as pertains to endemic cave species. Slovenia’s Place in Europe Trip Difficulty This trip is rated strenuous #6. Trip Rating System. Excluding breaks we will hike from five to ​ ​ seven hours per day, between 6 and 14 miles, with an average elevation gain of about 2500 feet. The terrain is rugged and steep in places, and requires agility. There will be sections on narrow trails with exposure (steep drop-offs).

  • JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK 2The Julian Alps
    1 JULIAN ALPS TRIGLAV NATIONAL PARK www.slovenia.info 2The Julian Alps The Julian Alps are the southeast- ernmost part of the Alpine arc and at the same time the mountain range that marks the border between Slo- venia and Italy. They are usually divided into the East- ern and Western Julian Alps. The East- ern Julian Alps, which make up approx- imately three-quarters of the range and cover an area of 1,542 km2, lie entirely on the Slovenian side of the border and are the largest and highest Alpine range in Slovenia. The highest peak is Triglav (2,864 metres), but there are more than 150 other peaks over 2,000 metres high. The emerald river Soča rises on one side of the Julian Alps, in the Primorska re- gion; the two headwaters of the river Sava – the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka – rise on the other side, in the Gorenjska region. The Julian Alps – the kingdom of Zlatorog According to an ancient legend a white chamois with golden horns lived in the mountains. The people of the area named him Zlatorog, or “Goldhorn”. He guarded the treasures of nature. One day a greedy hunter set off into the mountains and, ignoring the warnings, tracked down Zlatorog and shot him. Blood ran from his wounds Chamois The Triglav rose and fell to the ground. Where it landed, a miraculous plant, the Triglav rose, sprang up. Zlatorog ate the flowers of this plant and its magical healing powers made him invulnerable. At the same time, however, he was saddened by the greed of human beings.
