Slap Kozjak in Slovenia.
Slap Kozjak in Slovenia.
The emerald green and crystal clear Soča river that flows through western Slovenia in autumn 🍂🍂 #GreatOutdoors
Fratarica. This beautiful "double waterfall" is used for canyoning. Great place in Soca valley, Slovenia.
It is almost unbelievable how such a small country like Slovenia can have so many amazing places to visit. A lot of them are well known tourist magnets, but this humble little waterfall actually took us two days to find. Sometimes you put in a lot of effort in search of a place and when you finally arrive it turns out it wasn't all that special. But this one was worth it 😊 #europe #slovenia #bovec #green

The staff were lovely and the facilities were delightful. To walk round the Lake then have a sauna or fun in the pools is a real treat. It was very busy as it was school holidays which we didn’t realise. The buffet restaurant is also a great offering. Huge variety.

We loved our stay in Trenta, the chalet is spacious and in a stunning location. It’s lovely and peaceful and really special to hear the Soca river so close.

The surprise was the Sala della Musica (Music Room), a veritable treasure trove of historic musical instruments from woodwind to stringed going back to the 10th century. It was fascinating, not least of all to view a forerunner of the bagpipes that the Irish and Scots have claimed for decades. Their piece de resistance however, is a bone flute, claimed to be the oldest musical instrument in the world. They have a local musical group that plays, it must be something special, but we will never get to hear them.

Beautiful Julian Alps in Slovenia when we stayed in Kranjska Gora.

Kranjska Gora

Take the road beyond Fusine (closed in wintertime) towards the Laghi and this emerald mountain lake with grant views is your reward. There are several spots where you see the water bubbling upwards, vulcano style, which fits perfectly with the idyllic scenery. The hike around this upper lake takes a good one and a half hour, depending on how many benches you want to try out. There is a connecting trail to the lower lake as well - will try that next time!
