Slovenia
A paradise of snowcapped peaks, turquoise rivers and Venetian-style coastline, Slovenia enriches its treasures with harmonious architecture, rustic culture and sophisticated cuisine.
Slovenian cooking borrows a little something from each of its neighbours Italy, Austria, Hungary and the Balkans synthesising and reinventing dishes that emerge both familiar and unique. Slovenes have an obsession for using only fresh and locally sourced ingredients. The result is a terrific foodie destination, where youll sample dishes in unusual combinations, featuring items like scrumptious pasta dumplings of potato, chives and bacon, salads drizzled with nutty pumpkinseed oil, and multi-layered gibanica, a wildly decadent dessert. Slovenian wine is an unheralded strength, and regional whites and reds pair well with local specialities.
From the soaring peaks of the Julian Alps and the subterranean magic of the Postojna and kocjan caves to the sparkling emerald-green lakes and rivers and the short but sweet coastline along the Adriatic Sea, tiny Slovenia really does have it all. An incredible mixture of climates brings warm Mediterranean breezes up to the foothills of the Alps, where it can snow even in summer. And with more than half of its total surface still covered in forest, Slovenia does more than simply claim its green.
You might be forgiven for thinking that anything of beauty in this greenest of green lands is, well, all natural. But it isnt necessarily so. Where humakind intrudes is often to good effect, such as at Lake Bled, where a tiny baroque chapel on a picturesque island and a dramatic castle looming above complete a harmonious whole. The architecture is wonderfully varied: from the Venetian harbour towns of the coast and the rustic Hungarian-style farmhouses of Prekmurje to the Gothic churches of the Julian Alps and the art nouveau splendours of Ljubljana.
Slovenia is first and foremost an outdoor destination. Local people favour active holidays, and youll be invited even expected to join in. The list of activities on offer is endless, with the most popular pursuits being skiing, walking and hiking in the mountains, and increasingly, cycling. Fast rivers like the Soa cry out to be rafted and there are ample chances to try out more niche activities like horse riding, ballooning, caving and canyoning.
By Mark Baker, Writer
Slovenia was the first guidebook I ever wrote more than a decade ago, and even back then I knew I was smitten. The location is hidden away just enough to be off the well-worn path yet still at the heart of Europe. Ljubljana strikes that ideal balance between urban energy and liveability, and who can forget the electric blue-green waters of the Soa River? Slovenes themselves seem to take all of the natural beauty, the unhurried pace, the food and the wine in stride. We visitors know how special and rare this unspoilt place really is.

They say youre not really a Slovene until you climb and get spanked at the summit. And its all but stamped in locals passports once theyve made the trek up the countrys tallest mountain. The good news for the rest of us is that Triglav is a challenging but accessible peak that just about anyone in decent shape can conquer with an experienced guide. There are several popular approaches, but whichever path you choose, the reward is the same: sheer exhilaration.
