Slovenia
Autorka, Travelbay
Tiny Slovenia is on a par with the Podlaskie Voivodeship. However, unlike it, it is characterized by a huge variety of terrain and the attractions it offers. It is a young country because its independence was proclaimed on June 25, 1991 .

She was one of the first to decide to separate from Yugoslavia, which in the long run turned out to be good for her. A thriving economy, high satisfaction with the standard of living among Slovenes and continuous development, especially in terms of tourism. The truth is, however, that so far most people have only passed through Slovenia on their way to Croatia . This trend is slowly changing. As a result, Slovenia is increasingly becoming a major travel destination.

What to visit in Slovenia?
Sea, mountains, excellent recreational areas, numerous monuments and natural attractions, great cuisine and nice people. All this is waiting for those who decide to visit Slovenia. The most popular place in the whole country is undoubtedly Bled - a lake with an island and a castle. It is a symbol of Slovenia and its most visited corner. In second place in terms of popularity is the exceptionally beautiful Postojna Cave and the neighboring Predjama Castle . It is also worth taking some time to explore Ljubljana . Although the Slovenian capital is as tiny as the whole country, it offers a huge amount of attractions for everyone, regardless of age. An interesting proposition is also a visit to Maribor - the city where the oldest grapevine in the world grows.
Nightlife in Slovenia
Slovenia is not such a dream destination for party-goers. The nightlife in this country is actually concentrated in two cities - Ljubljana and Maribor . In the first one you will find a large number of pubs and clubs, including the more alternative ones. In the latter, the choice will be smaller, and some places are mainly focused on students. This has the advantage that without a heavily stuffed wallet, you'll also have a lot of fun.
Objects of nature in Slovenia
Slovenia is beautiful. National parks in Slovenia and other natural objects are a masterpiece. This tiny country contains both the picturesque Alps and 45 kilometers of coast. In addition, it is worth visiting the Logarska Valley , which is the most postcard valley in the entire Alps. Obviously, this is a very subjective assessment, as is any other opinion. And although the Triglav National Park is not on my map, I have described the most interesting places that are part of it. Rarities such as Bohinj and Bled are located within it. Slovenia is beautiful. I'll say it again. And all thanks to such a varied landscape. Wonderful national parks in Slovenia, picturesque Adriatic coast.
Activities in Slovenia
Slovenia is a real paradise for people who like to spend time actively . Mainly due to the incredibly diverse terrain and excellent infrastructure. When you decide to stay in Slovenia, you will have the opportunity to hike in the mountains , both on demanding technical trails and on recreational light trails. However, even more options await you if you prefer cycling . Slovenia has a huge number of bicycle routes, roads designed only for cyclists and bike parks for adrenaline seekers. This tiny country also allows you to practice rock climbing, take part in rafting , canyoning and kayaking . In winter, many well-prepared ski resorts open to tourists. Regardless of the season, you will not be bored here!
Kiedy odwiedzić Słowenię?
Tak naprawdę nie ma złej pory na odwiedziny w Słowenii. Jednak najciekawszym okresem na wizytę jest bez wątpienia wiosna. Wtedy, jednego dnia możesz najpierw szusować po alpejskich stokach, by godzinę później móc pływać w Adriatyku. W Słowenii wszędzie jest blisko. A dzięki dobrej sieci autostrad podróż z jednego krańca kraju na drugi zajmuje niewiele czasu. Jeśli wybierasz się do Słowenii z myślą o zwiedzaniu i eksplorowaniu tamtejszych gór zdecyduj się na pobyt w sierpniu lub we wrześniu.
Co warto zjeść w Słowenii?
W słoweńskiej kuchni odnaleźć można silne wpływy jej sąsiadów: Włochów, Austriaków czy Węgrów. Jest też sporo dań, które są typowe dla Półwyspu Bałkańskiego. Co zatem warto spróbować będąc w Słowenii. Koniecznie wszystkiego, co ma w sobie trufle. Risotto czy makaron z ich dodatkiem smakuje wprost wybornie. Typowym, słoweńskim daniem jest także strukli. Wygląda trochę jak zawijaniec zrobiony z naleśnika z dodatkiem różnych nadzieni. Występuje zarówno w wersji wege, jak i mięsnej. Na uwagę zasługuje również kranjska klobasa, czyli kiełbasa wciąż produkowana zgodnie z recepturą z XIX w.. Wśród deserów króluje potica – ciasto głównie pieczone na święta i inne ważne okazje. Wygląda trochę jak nasza babka piaskowa, z tą różnicą, że posiada nadzienie, np. z orzechami. Będąc w Słowenii koniecznie trzeba skosztować produkowanych tam, doskonałych win oraz piw (również tych kraftowych).
