1. Triglav National Park
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 551 reviews
Triglav National Park is one of the most im¬portant natural treasures of Slovenia. It is named after the sym¬bolic mountain Triglav (2,864 m) and is one of the oldest parks in Europe. The first protec¬tion attempts date back to the year 1906. Thepark covers nearly 84,000 hectares, almost the entire territory of the eastern Julian Alps. The Triglav National Park (TNP) is the only Slovenian national park. The management of the Triglav National Park is the responsability of the Triglav national Park Public Institution, based in Bled. The national park is a model example of successful harmonisation of different interests focused on a common goal: well-preserved nature, landscape and cultural heritage. The values of a national park are a motive and an attractive goal for visitors who respect the exceptional nature and cultural heritage as well as the peace and quiet of the area.

As a nature lover, Triglav Park was on my activities list during my trip in Slovenia. The park is in the Julian Alps, therefore offers the typical beautiful alpine landscape :) There are different paths and you can find information on the official website and at the "ticket office" at the entrance. My friend and I are quite active and we chose a medium path, which was actually very easy, on the way up, we hiked along a small stream, arriving at a waterfall. We had a packed lunch with us, and on the way back, we stopped for a drink in a typical place, which really added to the visit. The park is very well looked after. Nature and photography lovers are going to love this place :)

Climb the peak above Bled which will enthuse you with their magnificent views. Climbing the Mala Osojnica (685 metres) will take about 45 minutes along a steep forest path. The most beautiful views of Lake Bled and its surroundings, the Karavanke, Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe mountain ranges and the Ljubljana basin await you.

3. Triple Bridge (Tromostovje)
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By dori_lukey - Singapore, Singapore
The main bridge in Ljubljana that every tourist must visit as it connects two main squares between the old and new town. It is also the widest pedestrian bridge across the river due to its name and due to its status, it is always crowded with people. Gives you a good view of the river and the different attractions, and is usually quite festive. Really enjoyed the atmosphere here.
4. Predjama Castle
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,619 reviews
Predjama Castle is situated in the middle of a towering cliff, a mere 9 km from Postojna Cave. Picturesque, magnificent, defiant, mysterious and impregnable, it has been dominating the surrounding area, perched high up in the 123-metre high cliff, for more than 800 years. It is listed among the Guinness World Records as the largest cave castle in the world. Check the timetable of visits by months.

Predjama Castle. When travelling Rovinj, Croatia to Ljubljana, we debated whether or not to make the side trip to this castle since we had already seen two other major structures built into cliffs (Tekija Blagaj Dervish House, Mostar and Pustinja Blaca/Blaca Hermitage, Brac) on this trip, but we are glad we did. Our GPS lady friend got us there with just one little glitch, which we overcame having learned to follow local road signs any time there is a discrepancy with the GPS. The drive there was through little villages and it took us about an hour to reach the castle from the Croatia-Slovenia border. There is a small parking lot which is only 50 m from the path to the cave. No fee is required unless you decide to go inside. The Predjama Castle is a picturesque and impregnable castle perched in the middle of a 404’ high rocky cliff where it has rested for over 800 years. We have learned that settling in the caves initially provided people such as monks and kings protection from pirates and the rest of the structures are the product of home improvements made over the centuries. At the base of the cliff flows the Lokva River, which disappears underground deep below the castle, which has had a variety of owners over the centuries. At the end of WWII the castle was “confiscated and nationalized by the Yugoslav Communist authorities and turned into a museum” which did not work out well. Since 2007 it has been managed by an independent company. We did not pay to go in because from what we read, the insides are not authentic, but contain lots of suits of armor and warfare gear. We did spend about 45 minutes walking the grounds, taking pictures and using the clean restroom. Food is also for sale. All in all, this is a worthy stop that we are glad we made. As an aside, about 10 minutes away were the caves. We drove past on our way back to the highway and were amazed at the size of the parking lot there, as well as the number of cars. It looked like Disney World. I am sure it must be a wonderful adventure for some, but at 70, I try to avoid large crowds where I am shuttled about like cattle.
5. Postojna Cave
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6,289 reviews
Postojna Cave is the best-known cave in the world. It is also the greatest tourist attraction in Slovenia and one of the world's largest karst monuments. A fantastic web of tunnels, passages, galleries and halls, the astonishing diversity of Karst features as well as easy access are certainly the main reasons for such popularity of the cave and a large number of visitors. Check the timetable of visits by months.

Immense cave system - taking the little train 3km into the caves was great fun even for my grown up children. You visit in groups and after the train ride walk for a further 2km into the caves where the guide gives information about certain areas .Fantastic stalagmites and stalactites and immense fascinating caverns. Please be aware that some of the walking is up or down quite steep paths -( maybe a problem for those with compromised mobility or breathing difficulty) - wear sensible shoes. We booked online which saved queuing and took the bus from Ljubljana, where we were staying, which took about 1 hour.
6. Lake Bled
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 9,454 reviews
Discover the magic of the lake that attracts travellers from near and far. The current unique shape of the year did not emerge coincidentally. A tectonic hole made by the Bohinj glacier through the years, was once at the location of the present lake. Its path was obstructed by a huge rock which was so persistently scraped that the only thing that remained was the present island. The ice melted and the basin was filled with water, thus Lake Bled emerged, which is in some places up to 30 metres deep and quite popular amongst divers. 19 species of fish live in the lake, including carp, sheatfish and lake trout. Ducks and swans as well as diverse plants also swim and thrive on its surface.

Very picturesque lake so still - great pics with sun out- got bus from Bled to Ribcev Lazto - walked to Ukanc - choice there to get cable car (20euro) to MT Vogel or walk on to see Slap Savica Waterfall. Not much snow so walked to waterfall - bit disappointing as not much water flow despite being early Feb - a long walk but at least there was a bar at falls - walked back on other side of lake the views not as good - care to be taken on footpath - lots of fallen trees - 22km walk but worth it
