Slovenia: Julian Alps and Soča River Valley
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
This northwestern corner of Slovenia is busy with visitors both winter and summer. The Julian Alps, laced with hiking paths and alpine villages, and the milky-blue Soča River flowing down into the peaceful valley below offer plenty of diversions for nature-lovers. This terrain also has a terrible war history—it was the Soča Front during World War I; a nearby museum tells the story.

Industrial wasteland? Not really. But okay, who cares anyway.

Went to Slovenia about two years ago and did a trip around the county. Lake Bled, Piran, Postanja, Novo Mesto, Maribor, Ljuljlana. Beautiful.

And this is only in Gorenska(north western) part of slovenia. To acctuly look trough all the regions u need a whole lot more than 2 weeks, though u can take a day for each and atleast get a taste of it. And your accomodation should be near the capital Ljubljana so that u have the minimum travel time to all the parts.
