Hi, there is this great line in the movie Indiana Jones 3: "You chose wisely". Thank you for visiting our beautiful country! Greetings from Slovenia and come back soon, there much more to see!
My wife and I really enjoyed your video Maegan. We spent 19 days in and around Slovenia during the summer of 2019. We loved every minute. We are in our mid 60's so did not get to do all your fun hikes but what a gorgeous country. The people are fantastic and so friendly. Slovenia is a well kept secret. We will be back soon!!
Thank you for a nicely informative video. I'll be in Slovenia in May for about 2 weeks and it was great to see the landscape. But girl next time better shoes for the Alpine trails!
I was there in Slovenia 🇸🇮 in late June and one thing that people should be aware of is that if you want to see waterfalls there, you have to trek for a mile or more to see it. It’s not like in America 🇺🇸 or Iceland 🇮🇸 where you can drive to a car park and the waterfall is in front of you. No you have to move your ass to see one

I live in slovenia and I have to say that I really like the video. For the next visit to Slovenia, don't forget Lendava, the oldest Slovenian town of Ptuj, the old karst town of Štanjel and many more.
Just booked a trip in May. I went to the metal festival near Tolmin way back and have been waiting for a chance to visit properly ever since. Cannot wait! And I've added those places to my list to check out! Anywhere else you'd really recommend?

Do not wisit the Alps withouth proper equipment (footwear, clothes etc.)! In fact the mountain police could have sent you back downhill, if they saw you so ill prepared. The majority of all accidents happens because of poor equipment and people not beind aware of the dangers of the alpine envirenment. Dozents of people die every year here, so do not underastimate the Alps. Glad you had fun thow. :-)

I am happy to see how visitors are seeing Slovenia and I am glad you like it. Happy seeing, you went fine with the mountains, but it was pretty bold move with sneakers in snow. You should always head to mountains with suitable footwear and clothes, otherwise you are putting yourself in life threatening danger.
Hello! I loved your video. You obviously spent so much time researching and crafting a lovely travel story to tell. Thank you! Would you mind sharing where you were in Dornberk? I am looking to travel to Slovenia in September and would love to experience that in particular. : )

Hey, Lovely video - loved the captures and details. Slovenia does seem like a true gem. We are headed there next week, and if you could help with 2 things - would be great; 1. The viewpoint of Bled - do you remember the name or any location of the viewpoint? Also, the second hike-easy one - was that a known hike / marked trail? Thanks a lot.
So many tourists in Slovenia miss out on a lot bc they only visit the west/northwest of the country! Other parts of Slovenia are just as beautiful + much less touristy. I loved the video, hope you visit again and explore the east and south!! xx

Do you think that Ljubljana would be a good base if you're in Slovenia for 1 week? Im going there in September but I don't have a driver's license yet so I'll have to use public transport. I really want to go on hikes in nature.
In summer (rom june to september) is a lot otraffic jams on the highways between ausria, Italy and Croatia. Especially in saturdays. You have to buy vignetta for highways. On local roads isn`t so messy, just around main turistic places like Bled or Ljubljana (capital city). Now it si a little snowy (about 5-10 cm). It is ski season. Now it is nice time to visit Postojna cave, the longest cave with train and electric lights through about 8 km (5 miles). Temperature is about 10 deegrees. As it is whole year. 🙂
Hi Maegan, cool video. My girl and I are planning to visit Slovenia as well coming summer (if the COVID situation allows us to travel). We're planning to fly to Ljubljana and then rent a car. I was wondering with what company you rented a car and how easy it was, if you had any hick-ups, how the roads are...? Thanks!
Great footage!!! Yes, an awesome country, glad it was my last destination before the damn pandemic. Bled cake is lovely 👌 The water is beautiful. I do wonder why Melania Trump is so ashamed to originate from such a beautiful country??? You had a great time & thanks for sharing the memories & bringing back many of my own.....
Because she fu*cked her way up and is not really appreciated back home for that. And because she was telling lies about Slovenia for the campaign reasons...
there are direct flights from Quatar to Vienna, Austria and from there you can go by train to Slovenia. Before the pandemic there were direct flights to Zagreb, Croatia and from there by taxi or train to Slovenia. I am not sure about this one, you should check in with Quatar airways.
The trailhead is located at the top of Vrsic Pass opposite the main parking lot. Look for the large white sign with lots of stickers on it. There will be a sign post nearby with a red maker pointing towards Slemenova Špica.
You have mad cinematic skills. So proud of you doing all this by yourself. 2 things: first, in my opinion, a little too much music. I wanted to experience the raft ride but the music made my eyes bleed. Silence is ok. Lastly, please send me a post card next time. Great video. Also I would have liked to know some prices
Because it's dark in caves and you can't control people from using flash. Strong light from flash would cause to grow algae which would have a negative impact on ecosystem in cave. At the moment there is extensive 3y period of reserch on negativ impact of tourism and electronic devices on climat and animals in Skocjan cave, so in future we can expect limiting number of tourist and wouldn't surprise me if you will need to turn of phones and other stuff before entering a cave.
