Gorenjska
There is no doubt
that Gorenjska would be a good
choice for an active vacation.
There, for example, you can enjoy
views of wonderful Lake Bled and
Lake Bohinj and the peaks of the
Julian Alps and the Kamnik-Savinja
Alps, a wide range of outdoor
activities in the resort town of
Kranjska Gora, and strolls through
the beautifully preserved centres of
old towns such as Kranj and kofja
Loka.
Gorika
Picturesque Gorika
Brda, to the north of the city of
Nova Gorica, is a winegrowing area
that produces some of Slovenia's
finest wines. Another interesting
town is Kanal, which hosts an annual
event involving jumping from a stone
bridge into the river Soča.
Coastal & Karst
Some of the most
beautiful underground worlds of our
planet lie below Coastal & Karst
region of Slovenia. There are more
than eight thousand karst caves and
sinkholes in Slovenia, and twenty of
these treasuries of limestone
masterpieces created by disappearing
karst rivers have been adapted and
opened for tourists. Every kilometer
of the Slovene coast is a new
surprise. There is a natural reserve
with a rich fund of marl and
sandstone, salt works, fully
equipped marinas, casinos and many
medieval towns.
Central
The Central Slovenia
region is dominated by Slovenia's
capital city Ljubljana, a political,
cultural, scientific, educational,
business, and transportation center
that in its own way combines the
characteristics of Slovenia’s
eastern and western, northern and
southern regions.
Podravska
The wider region
around the river Drava contains many
attractive tourist destinations
offering natural and cultural sights
of interest and a wide range of
recreational and sports activities
and gastronomic pleasures. From
Maribor, Slovenia's second-largest
city, and green Pohorje, unique
among Slovenia's mountain regions,
to winegrowing areas and thermal
spas: the Podravska region has
something for everyone.
Notranjska Karst
This is one region
of Slovenia that you cannot get to
know merely superficially.
Literally. The beauties that lie
hidden below the surface are even
more astonishing than those that you
can admire above ground in this
undulating, largely forested region.
Practically every square kilometer
conceals one of several thousand
karst caves.
South-East
Hill vineyards and
little hilltop churches, castles and
monasteries, broad forests and
groves of birch trees give the
extensive region of south-east
Slovenia a particular charm.
Dolenjska, which joins hands with
Bela Krajina across the beautiful
Gorjanci Hills and, further up, with
the Posavje region, is an area that
offers countless opportunities to
relax, explore and enjoy, to visit
natural sights of interest and make
interesting stops along heritage
trails and wine routes.
Koroka
Koroka is
considered the cradle of Sloveneness.
Following the plebiscite of 1920,
the greater part of Koroška (or
Carinthia) became Austrian, with the
result that the Slovenian Koroka
region now consists of three valleys
– the Mea, Drava and Mislinja
valleys – and three mountain ranges
– Pohorje, Karavanke and the Savinja
Alps.
Savinjska
From one of the most
beautiful alpine valleys past the
medieval castle inspirations of the
Celje Counts to mysterious
Kozjansko, the Savinjska region
offers secret corners of unspoiled
nature, thermal and climatic health
resorts, towns and cities with
interesting pasts and lively
presents, hospitable farms, places
with sporting challenges.
Pomurska
The dreamy
countryside along the Mura River in
eastern Slovenia is a land of wide
fields and rounded hills, storks and
wind-rattles, floating mills,
healing waters and energy points,
picturesque winegrowing hills,
original traditions and dialects,
and most of all, a land of
hospitable people, who live in
Slovenia’s largest agricultural
region.
Spodnjeposavska
The Spodnjeposavska
(Lower Sava) region, which takes its
name from the lower course of the
Sava, Slovenia's longest river, is
characterized by a wide fertile
plain, rounded hills planted with
vineyards, extensive forests and
several towns and villages
containing important cultural sights
of interest. Besides the Sava, two
other important rivers have left
their mark on this south-eastern
corner of Slovenia: the Krka and the
Sotla.
Zasavska
In central Slovenia,
the undulating Posavsko hribovje
hills spread on the both sides of
the Sava River. Wagon roads once led
across their picturesque peaks, but
today the hills and the mountains
above Litija, Zagorje, Trbovlje, and
Hrastnik are mostly popular
excursion destinations. These towns
beside the Sava and close to the
most important Slovene railway lines
are full of mining traditions, and
the unique workers’ colonies remind
us of the almost two hundred years
of mining. Another witness to the
past of the region is the Revirski
Museum in Hrastnik with its
ethnological, firefighting, and
hunting exhibitions. |
