Many people pointed out a few things that could be mentioned so I'll make a part 2 :) Keep in mind there's a lot of this so there's always something more one could add. Missing it isn't necessarily on purpose but more a matter of keeping videos on the shorter end :)) will make more, no worries ❤️
Weird Al. Also Google Frank Yancovic he is an unrelated Polka player of the same name. He was popular in America during the 40s. Because young ppl don't know history, its often forgotten that we Americans had roots from all over.
I miss Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar. No1 and 2 of world cycling. Also so Joe Sutter who designed the 747 Jumbo Jet was of Slovene desent. Melania also should be on the list... great video tho!
@@billycatch4088 Im from Slovenia. We have a very good duo in a lot of sports...Football (oblak, handanović), basketball (dončić and dragić), obviously cycling and very good team sports like handball and volleyball.
Hi, actually even though I live in a country bordering Slovenia (I'm Italian), I don't know much about your country and about you. I am very sorry that in the past our two countries had terrible times and that they were at war, for what the Italian soldiers in those lands did to the Slovenes. A warm greeting from southern Italy.
We were in Slovenia in 2019. My daughter was amazed by the blue yet clear water in the streams. I loved all of it. My father's parents were both from Slovenia.
The government of Slovenia should give you high praise for the exposure that you are giving the country of Slovenia. You are an excellent ambassador for your country and would make an excellent tour guide.
What about the most important thing found around 20km from where is modern days Ljubljana - The Ljubljana Marshes Wheel? Long story short - it is the oldest known to men wooden wheel fixed to an axel for easy rotation and probably transportation, dated at more than 5150 years old. This is THE one of the most important things ever invented in the whole history of human kind.
I associate Slovenia mainly with ski jumping, which is very popular in my country (Poland). Primoz Peterka, Robert Kranjec or contemporary jumpers (Anze Lanisek, Timi Zajc, Prevc brothers.) In fact, the Poles and Slovenians are the only two Slavic countries where this sport is very popular. I love watching the competition on the Letalnica
For anyone interested in professional cycling, the 2020 Tour de France featured not only the first ever Slovenian winner, but the top 2 overall finishers as well! Tadej Pogačar overcame a 57-second deficit to fellow Slovenian, Primož Roglič, on the penultimate day of the 21-stage grand tour, which ended with a 4-mile climb up La Planche de Belle Filles. On that day, Pogačar won the stage, won the White Jersey (Best Young Rider), Polka Dot Jersey (King of the Mountains), and most importantly the Yellow Jersey (Overall Leader). It was one of the most climactic endings ever to be seen at the Tour de France. Pogačar and Roglič embraced afterwards, showing the pure class of the two competitors and countrymen. Tadej Pogačar is the youngest winner of the Tour de France since 1904, and has a bright future ahead of him. Primož Roglič has been very competitive the past few years after transitioning away from ski jumping, winning the 2019 and 2020 Vuelta a España (another of the 3 grand tours in professional cycling). Both riders are among the world's best!
My mom is Slovenian. It's a beautiful country. One thing of note is what overachievers the women are in the homemaking department. Very elaborate cooking/baking skills. Homes very clean. Personal favorites are flancati and potica.
Real cool! Slovenija is amazing! Love your videos Barbara! Veliki Pozdrav from a Croatian-American from Los Angeles. 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇺🇲🇺🇲 Prelipa van je Slovenija! Cro/Slovene UNITY 4eva!! 🇸🇮🇸🇮🇸🇮🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷
I am an American who does know that Slovenia is the home of the Alpine Slavs. Just off the top of my head it is located between Italy, Austria, Serbia and Croatia. And I've never been there. But I really want to check out a few puppet theatres there! But then again I live in Georgia, not the American state. Most of my fellow Americans have no idea where I am. Thanks Barbara for letting us know about people Slovenia is famous for. PS I am very familiar with Laibach and Neue Slowenishe Kunst.
I know... I cried a little when I read about it. Especially since I often feed birds myself and they seem to not be afraid of me so it really touched me when he did that for her.
Wow! Thank you, Barbara! This is like a unique Christmas present. I am always interested in learning new and interesting facts about foreign lands. Your video has given me the desire to visit Slovenia and experience it's people and customs. You're a wonderful presenter and so glad to be following you for many years. Have a Merry Christmas!
@@TheBarbaraHorvat i remember a few months ago u said u wont do blond again... because your hair doesnt like it or something. Did u find a work around ?
Thanks for making this! as a Slovenian myself I always like seeing the occasional video about Slovenia come up in my recommended, it is rare you ever hear about us. Vesel božič pa nova let!
Barbara: "He owned 40 cars, 10 houses, and has been married ..." Me: expecting a shockingly high number of wives Barbara: "... to the same woman for 70 years." Me: Aww☺️
My favorite Slovenian always reminds us to stay awesome stay positive and that she loves us all! She’s awesome and gorgeous! Magic is a force of nature on the hardwood. Happy Festivus Barb😘🍻
I enjoyed this very much. I'm not hard to please and do try to enjoy things when I can. Possibly I am easy to please because I have suffered from debilitating severe depression for thirty years and have great difficulty experiencing life with those uplifting emotions that many I fear take for granted. I may not feel genuine joy very often, but still I am able to appreciate things of quality and the effort that goes into a creation . . . and your channel is that . . . quality . . .always. Thank you for your hard work and the energy you expend to create every video - - - and do take care of yourself.
I should also mention the person most responsible for the explosion in popularity of Polka music, Slavko Avsenik. Although "invented" in Bohemia, the Slovenian Slavko Avsenik stylzed polka, catapulting it into Southern Europe, then the rest of Europe, and on to North America and elsewhere. Avsenik gave rise to hundreds of Polka groups worldwide, and his polka became a central attribute of Slovenian culture. As an American who was exposed to a rude, Americanized version of Polka in the 1960's and 1970's, I had no idea Polka could be so wonderful until being introduced to real, Slovenian Polka out of Southern Europe. From my perspective, Polka is a beautiful cultural "glue" holding together traditional music cultures of Slovenia. Of Slovenia's relatively small population, a large percentage are accomplished musicians and performers, with countless Slovenian groups carrying on this wonderful tradition. Among the many groups are my favorites, Die Oberkrainer Polka Madels, Extra Kvintet-LadyKryner, Navihanke, Polka Punce, AlpenOberkrainer, Gorenski Kvintet...and so many other. Slovenian music makes up a good part of my day, bringing much happiness and joy.
NIce done but you forgot another achievement in Guinness World Record book namely Slovenia have the oldest vine in the world. 😎 Motorsport fans shurely known the best exhaust system in the world Akrapovic it is Slovenian brand Airplane fans surely know a Pipistrel company which made first certified electric plane in the world they are from Sloveni as well. US gun fans surely know Arex Rex Zero One gun got flying colors by the MAC also from Slovenia The famous Inventor Nikola Tesla got his first job in Slovenia as well before he went to the US. Not to forgot Goran Dragic Miami Heat And the most important thing the only country in the world with the sLOVEnia in the name
Not that I forgot, there's just too much info and many achievements. If I were to mention all of it, this would be hours long and I wanted to talk more about the "immediate" famous things :D but thanks for the suggestion! Maybe I make a part 2 of it!! 🤗
Yeah the oldest grape vine that still produces grapes is in Maribor, I went to see it once or twice but not much since my grandparents live in the western part of Slovenia so we usually are hiking in the Julian Alps.
It's rather ironic that Mountain Dew is banned in most of the EU as it allegedly has a chemical found in flame retardants according to Simon Whistler. I consumed some Mountain Dew at the airport in Frankfurt and it tasted nothing like it does in the US so that flame retardant but give its unique taste in America.
Great video! I didn't know about the Narnia :) The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian | 2008 - Locations: New Zealand; Prague, Czech Republic; Poland; Slovenia This is so cool that they chose these countries to film in. I visited all and the nature is indeed stunning
As an ethnic German, I knew more about Slovenia than most Americans (Slovenia has been part of German nations on and off). But I have learned much more following Barbara. Slovenia is truly a beautiful and remarkable country with great people! It goes to show that 'small' nations can be great. Like Barbara herself, wonderful things can come in small packages.🙂
Thanks Barbara, and you should have been #1 on the list from Slovenia. Ha! Living here in the Dallas, TX area, I can tell you that Luka is quite beloved among Maverick fans. ...but my favorite part was about the inventor married to the same woman for 70 years, and the recounting of all the time spent in the various modes of travel. Thanks for sharing.
Slovenija also has the largest zip line network in the EU as I've been on it twice. I also went rafting on the Soča River as it's a very beautiful area in and around Bovec and the Soča Valley.
I always thought the river in narnia 2 is the most beautiful river I've ever seen in the world 😭 and I just found out that river is actually exist 😭 I wanna go to slovenia so bad.
There's a thing some slovenes once introduced to me that has Cockta and 1000 Roses in it. Forgot the name but it's my favourite slovenian "thing" (besides the beautiful landscapes) and they drank it like water.
You probably mean home made Jägermeister, the original brand is from Germany. Big amounts of it are not advised... I think that plum/pear/blueberry brandy are more preferred, but everything flows...
@@EmmaSchmitt do you know where I can buy that in the area of Slovenj Gradec or Maribor? I live close to the border in Austria and want to try that again after so many years 😁 (edit: maybe at Mercator, at least they have it on their website ...)
Having been born and raised in LA and being a Kings fan since I was a kid, Kopitar (as said in stupid american pronunciation) is slovenian!?!? Awesome!
Barbara2.0 and Barbara4u2c should be on the list of famous 🇸🇮 Slovenians. I love your TH-cam Channel and content.

Very intestine .. I knew about the movies and the sports .. and I’m sure the few you linked below !!! Very informative .. also bill Murray was a spokesman for Slovenian vodka !!! Stay says Vesel Božič. In srečno novo leto. ❤️🇸🇮❤️
You always seem to make the most interesting and uplifting videos 😍 The most interesting thing I found out from your video was about the Slovenian inventor :)
I had no idea that do many common items were because of a great Slovenian mind. Thank you so much Barbara for brining so much light to your country and achievements. It's been a thrill to experience it vicariously through you! Best holiday wishes!
I like how you included the part about the inventor (I won't try to write his name because I can't figure out how to do those crazy accents) being married to the same woman for 70 years. I don't know what the state of marriage is in Slovenia, but here in the west, you could make a case for this being his greatest achievement.
Akrapovic exhaust systems for bikes and cars are arguably the best you can get. Have had them on 2 of our bikes here in the US. A Triumph Speed Trip and Yami R1. Great stuff from Slovenia, of all places.
You look great even without the tan. I dont know why people are so picky about the human body. We look the way we do, we appreciate the bodies we do. People need to stop being so judgey about skin color (when it comes to apperance).
The Chronicles of Narnia.. Or The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.. Ah fond memories of covid free times. Great video Miss B. And Thank you. Hope you(and everyone else) have a merry 🎄🎅xmas🦌⛄ and a happy 🎉 new year 🎊.
You left out the Beautiful and talented Barbara Horvat! You are the only reason i know Slovenia exists. Hope ya'll are doing well and having a very Merry Christmas!
As a long time Toronto Raptors fan, I remember the PA announcer announcing 2 players in slovenian (Rasho Nesterovic and Uros Slokar) številka dvanajst and deset
Peter Florjancic was the most impressive person to me. He was a genius but only made the difference he did because he combined that with hard work. I love the way Barbara is always trying to inspire us to challenge ourselves. Even when we fail, we grow. The most important thing is to never give up on ourselves. Thank you Barbara! 🙂
Ok, I've seen Laibach live for twelve times, for which I've flown thrice to other countries (from Finland); Prague and Berlin. I've collected almost their entire catalogue on my shelves, cd's, vinyls, dvd's , books etc., so yes, it definitely comes to mind first about Slovenia. One of my goals is to see them live in Ljubljana, or Trbovlje, where they originate. Every time they do so I die a little bit inside due to not having enough money to travel or there's a bit too much pandemi going on to travel... Anyhow, keep it up! PS. This year thirteenth time if this shit ever stops and concerts start rolling again.
Hey, you would be awesome travel guide! You're enthusiastic about your country, sympathetic and used to speak on mic so "Barbarian Travel Agency" would be hit, imho :-)))
Absolutely love hearing the enthusiasm in you're voice its so inspiring .You're a proud Slovenian and thats a beautiful thing, keep us posted on Slovenia Barbara. Much love and respect as always ❤🤍☃️Have a great Christmas and a wonderful new year. I didn't🏯 care if this sounds cringe but they really broke the when they made me. Beautiful person . ⁰ù
I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area and the one and only pro basketball game i've ever been to was Jan. 16, 2019. The Mavericks vs the Spurs. The top player was LOOOOkah DONNchitch (that's the way we say it). He's only 5 inches taller than me... So ya, I knew about Luka, who is #77, my old football number, and the number of graduating seniors at my high school. For as young as he is, he's the best player in the NBA. (Look out, Lebron). I didn't know about the other stuff. Ask me about 2 Cellos... For those that want to put you down, they're just jealous. They either want to be you, or be with you, but they know they can't. So they hate. Fk em. Love ya, Barbara. Stay safe, stay cool. You're#1 in my books.
Well the only thing I know is Akrapovič Exhaust company because I have one for my Bike, but I want to see that lake that has the island with the church on it. Because its the default image on my 4k tv. But honestly I knew about Slovenia for a long time because I like geography

Vlatko Cancar we tried to pick him up here in okc a few years ago.
I like how you included the part about the inventor (I won't try to write his name because I can't figure out how to do those crazy accents) being married to the same woman for 70 years. I don't know what the state of marriage is in Slovenia, but here in the west, you could make a case for this being his greatest achievement.
I from Slovenia and Doncic and Dragic are gods.
Thank you very much I am eager for news and information about Slovenia - Merry Christmas
Akrapovic exhaust systems for bikes and cars are arguably the best you can get. Have had them on 2 of our bikes here in the US. A Triumph Speed Trip and Yami R1. Great stuff from Slovenia, of all places.
OH MY GOD Y'ALL!!! You're so incredibly hard to please hecking heck. IT. IS. WINTER. sun. no. be. I can't be tan all year long leave me alone ffs :'D
Same thing in Northern Ireland.
Wait, people have nothing better to do than bitch about that? Seems pretty weak.
You look great even without the tan. I dont know why people are so picky about the human body. We look the way we do, we appreciate the bodies we do. People need to stop being so judgey about skin color (when it comes to apperance).
We really need you in Australia.. the only thing we know of culture is yoghurt 🤦♂️
How old is that cave we talking about? xD
Awesome vid, now I love Slovenia more. Red hair suits you well, happy holidays to you and yours.
The Chronicles of Narnia.. Or The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.. Ah fond memories of covid free times. Great video Miss B. And Thank you. Hope you(and everyone else) have a merry 🎄🎅xmas🦌⛄ and a happy 🎉 new year 🎊.
You are right I did not know these famous things were Slovenian....thanks...you Rock...
You left out the Beautiful and talented Barbara Horvat! You are the only reason i know Slovenia exists. Hope ya'll are doing well and having a very Merry Christmas!
As a long time Toronto Raptors fan, I remember the PA announcer announcing 2 players in slovenian (Rasho Nesterovic and Uros Slokar) številka dvanajst and deset
Peter Florjancic was the most impressive person to me. He was a genius but only made the difference he did because he combined that with hard work. I love the way Barbara is always trying to inspire us to challenge ourselves. Even when we fail, we grow. The most important thing is to never give up on ourselves. Thank you Barbara! 🙂
Enjoyed the vid Barb. Knew about the sports figures but not the inventor. He had a great mind and obviously knew how to live life. Wow!
Very informative. Thanks.
Ok, I've seen Laibach live for twelve times, for which I've flown thrice to other countries (from Finland); Prague and Berlin. I've collected almost their entire catalogue on my shelves, cd's, vinyls, dvd's , books etc., so yes, it definitely comes to mind first about Slovenia. One of my goals is to see them live in Ljubljana, or Trbovlje, where they originate. Every time they do so I die a little bit inside due to not having enough money to travel or there's a bit too much pandemi going on to travel... Anyhow, keep it up! PS. This year thirteenth time if this shit ever stops and concerts start rolling again.
Yes. Movies are filmed everywhere. Literally, every country.. province.. state.. etc.. Very good Barbara. A few were in Slovenia.
3:25 OK Barbara I live in Euless Texas about 20 miles from Dallas. I didn't even know this. you could do a Slovenian version of "The More You Know."
Im from Slovenia its a beautiful country
Amazing video Barbara, loved it all 👌
And...Micky Dolenz of The Monkees...actually, he's the last Monkee.
Bravo Barbara. 😊 Zanimivi prispevki.
Živjo, zanimiv video. Dal sem subscribe.
I love how she says sports teams names, so damn cute
I read the article on Peter Florjancic, wow what an inspirational person :)
Some scenes of Narnia were filmed in new Zealand too
Small countries rule 💪🏻 underrated 😁
Merry Christmas 🎄!
Barbara, I never noticed your dimples before. Very cute. Thank You for the Slovenian in history lesson. Very interesting. JRS
Another great video! Have a Merry Christmas!
Well, we already know about you ....
Cool that you admire the inventor so much.
I used to work for Elizabeth Arden. Didn't know a Slovenian invented the perfume spray for them until now!
Gosh, for me personally Slovenia means Planica and Prevc brothers. Huge ski jumping fan here. :D
Anže Lanišek doing great right now tho...Prevc trio not in form sadly :(
Jaka Pavlin let’s hope for the best, Domen did pretty good in Zakopane last week. ;)
@@zosiam8541 yeah he did but he has to keep this form if he wants to achieve something💪
Hey, you would be awesome travel guide! You're enthusiastic about your country, sympathetic and used to speak on mic so "Barbarian Travel Agency" would be hit, imho :-)))
Absolutely love hearing the enthusiasm in you're voice its so inspiring .You're a proud Slovenian and thats a beautiful thing, keep us posted on Slovenia Barbara. Much love and respect as always ❤🤍☃️Have a great Christmas and a wonderful new year. I didn't🏯 care if this sounds cringe but they really broke the when they made me. Beautiful person

Are you planing on shooting any winter outdoor Slovenian videos?
I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro area and the one and only pro basketball game i've ever been to was Jan. 16, 2019. The Mavericks vs the Spurs. The top player was LOOOOkah DONNchitch (that's the way we say it). He's only 5 inches taller than me... So ya, I knew about Luka, who is #77, my old football number, and the number of graduating seniors at my high school. For as young as he is, he's the best player in the NBA. (Look out, Lebron). I didn't know about the other stuff. Ask me about 2 Cellos...
For those that want to put you down, they're just jealous. They either want to be you, or be with you, but they know they can't. So they hate. Fk em. Love ya, Barbara. Stay safe, stay cool. You're#1 in my books.
what about Melania Ttump even tho this isnt our best achivment cus of her husband but still something big,right?
Well the only thing I know is Akrapovič Exhaust company because I have one for my Bike, but I want to see that lake that has the island with the church on it. Because its the default image on my 4k tv. But honestly I knew about Slovenia for a long time because I like geography
Im 1/4 my grandpa came from Slovenian. He was a stern man.
