eden_teuling Says: The heritage of the different periods of time in these parts of Slovenia art very visible...The magnificent RIHEMBERK CASTLE, which is located above the community of BRANIK e.g. is very worthy of a visit!The name of the family RIHEMBERG was mentioned in written sources for...
richiecdisc Says: Though in the Karst region and closer to Piran, it just did not fit there for me, and seemed more congruous with this part of the trip. Most people miss these as they are hard to reach without your own car so thanks again Tanja. I never made it to the Postojna Caves but...
oja Says: A centuries old and accordingly picturesque town in famous for its bridge over the Soca (photo). It's also the best place to soak in this crystal clear river on a warm summer day.
Country West Saloon.: Country West Saloon.
richiecdisc Says: A regular US type of bar with Western theme and best of all, a wide selection of Slovenian beers including both svetlo and tmno from Lasko and even a Belgian ale! Best yet, both beers from the Adam Ravbar brewpub outside Ljubljana that I had not managed to get to! They had...

Mahnic Brewpub.: Mahnic Brewpub.
richiecdisc Says: Finally, a good Slovenian brewpub! Came very close to blowing this place off as after a Skocjan Caves visit, our time was at a premium, having to still drive to the coast. But after the 90-minute walk through the caves, we’d worked up a thirst so figured, why not? Both the...
oja Says: You'll have to organise it yourself. Since I was always there with a crowd of friends, this was no problem!Fresh open air, warm Summer atmosphere, consistently good wine.
mikey_e Says: Nova Gorica is connected to Ljubljana by both bus and train. I didn't take the train, but from what I saw on the schedules, its not a direct route and saves little time. The bus from Nova Gorica cost about 12 euro one way and was SO slow. We stopped in every inhabited...
Train from Nova Gorica to Ljubljana
Avieira67 Says: An optional way to reach Ljubljana from Italy is crossing, on foot, the border betwen Gorica and Nova Gorica. Then, you take a train to Ljubljana throught the Northen country. You must change at Jesenice!
Car is definitely the way to...
oja Says: Car is definitely the way to do it. The areas I'm talking about are remote, and there is no more than one, maximum two buses leaving daily from Nova Gorica. On foot! No doubt.
SLOVENIA AND FINE FOOD, DELICACIES......

richiecdisc Says: Nope, no tourist traps in all of Slovenia though rumor has it that they once boiled some tourists in this Stanjel cauldron....
The abandoned hilltop village...
richiecdisc Says: The abandoned hilltop village of Stanjel is an enchanting place for an afternoon stroll. It's conveniently on the road between Nova Gorica and the Skojcan Caves and somehow no one seems to go there. Well, at least in October during the week. ;)
oja Says: Since things are reversed, perhaps you should visit Nova Gorica to be off the beaten path :-)
Well, if I had the time and...
richiecdisc Says: Well, if I had the time and better weather, I would say do some hiking. It's incredibly lush and the Soca River is breathtaking. All that said, I never go to do it but had a lovely wine tasting of some of Slovenia's finest reds accompanied by fresh made polenta and sheep's...

oja Says: Attend the festival Days of Poetry and Wine held annually in late August (this year from 21th to 26th). It's a fantastic event gathering young poets from all over the globe (although mostly from Europe). On the photo you can spot poetic representatives of Poland, Mexico,...
Plan a Nova Gorica vacation with reviews, tips and photos posted by real travelers and Nova Gorica locals
aha - Nova Gorica is situated in west Slovenia near the Italian border. It is so close to the near Italian city of Gorizia that together they look like one big city. On the photo you see hotel and casino...

A mad rush through the Soca Valley
It’s funny how the order in which places are visited has a profound effect on how you perceive them. If I had gotten my way, I would have happened upon Nova Gorica after doing a long hike in the Soca...

Wild yet Wonderful West of my Country
Well, Nova Gorica itself is nothing to write home about, and this is what other VT members who were there have already found out. The town is no more than 50 years old and rather small and peripheral,...

In 1998 I cycled along the river soca. It is also called the "emerad river", because it is deep blue-green, ... I was very impressed! This year I was "hiking" in the Karst area. It was very windy,......
