The Slavica waterfalls are must when visiting Bohinj. They are not far from Bohinj at all and with 72 meters of height they are Slovenia's 7th greatest waterfalls. It is also well-known for France Preseren's poem Krst pri Savici (Baptism by the Savica).
This beautiful yellow daisies is probably not the case for this column. May be it should be placed to a travelogue, but I like this flowers/photo so much and I really want to share it with you Beautiful flowers in late autumn

There are two types of beer available in Slovenia - Union and Lasko (goat beer).Personally, Union was my favourite. Nothing could be better than to be in Ljubljana on a sunny afternoon, sitting in a riverside cafe with an ice-cold Union in front of you. Lake Bled is chocolate-box beautiful. Forget Austria, forget Switzerland. Come here and see the beautiful lake with the Alps in the background. See the church on the island in the middle of the lake and hear the tolling of the bell as someone makes a wish.Take a gondola out to the island (or row your own boat, or swim) and toll the bell yourself.
Ljubljana, lying in the geographic heart of the country is the capital, the political and university centre but also a location for international events, all year round!The city charms visitors with its rich ancient and medieval history that comes alive through its renaissance, baroque and secessionist art! Who doesn't know the world famous architect Joze Plecnik? He left his unmistakable stamp on the city with lovely bridges (e.g. the Triple Bridge), the market (with the many columns), the National and University Library and many other works whose ornaments and composition are so characteristic for Plecnik!When you come in Ljubljana, be sure to see the CASTLE, with its view over the whole City and its surroundings: walk around Old Ljubljana and visit the market! Every day the stands are colourful with mountains of fresh produce, fruits, fish, flowers and more... MARIBOR is the...
It was getting dark, here. Photo was taken from one of my visits of Smohor mountain, Lasko. On the right side of the photo there is Kopitnik mountain, it can be reached from Rimske toplice. Veliko Kozje on the left side of photo can be reached from Zidani most.
There is great view near Socerb. You can see Slovenian coast as well as city of Trieste, Italy. There is fine restaurant in ruins of castle. There is also wine road in nearest village.Socerb is in Slovenian maritime province. Easiest way to visit it is by car from Ljubljana Koper highway.
Nature turns sad and gray during winter. Still visiting hills or mountains can be great experience for winter feeling and fresh air and it is especially beautiful when there is snow.This is view from Hum hill above Lasko town. Some people even walk here during New year's eve. Interesting way to spend it.
Castle near Lasko is certainly not the biggest in Slovenia. It used to be hunting hut for Celje counts. Today there is restaurant there. It is also popular place where people get married.Walk around castle for it is good point of view over Lasko. Walk to nearby Blaz rock or to Hum hill.
Very popular tourist destination. There is island with church in the middle of the lake. You can take a boat to island, walk around the lake, walk to castle or some other hill around the lake. There is Iski vintgar in vicinity, interesting canyon well worth visiting. Ask for path and walk there!

Q: My husband and I are planning two nights in July - is it better to base ourselves In Bled or Bohinj, or do one night in each?
A: Personally I liked Bohinj more mainly because it's more remote & natural. You can wander through the woods and discover Slap Savica, by crossing wooden bridges, climbing...
