 Skofa Loka castle by kazakorange
- a souvenir shop
- a wine shop
- a bar
- a restaurant
Money, money ! They knows that Bled castle is visited by thousands of tourists each year, so why should they bother offering something really interesting ? The collection showed in the castle is the poorest I've ever seen, dispatched in only 4 or 5 rooms.
Okay, you'll see a nice view on the lake but it's not worth the 6 euros you have to pay for it.
Head south to Skofa Loka - This small town, located 30 kilometers from Bled, is really beautiful with small streets and old houses.
The Skofa Loka's castle museum is great : you will see a wonderful ethnological collection with many tools from the past (agriculture, printing, hat making, every day life, ...) Leave a Comment

 Hut near Triglav lakes by Zo72
Be aware that Triglav is symbol of Slovenia so when something is about Triglav or leading there it might be veeery popular.
Go to less popular natural places, they are not worse at all, only less people go there. Go to most popular places during working days. Leave a Comment

 Piran, Tartini square by Zo72
Visit Socerb castle to see sea and Trieste. Visit Piran and Koper for they are beautiful cities. You can even jump into sea in Piran. ;)
Avoid Portoroz (might be good place to party though).
Inner part of maritime province might prove more genuine. There seems to be beautiful nature there. Leave a Comment

 Bled lake by Zo72
Some people find this place extremely beautiful. Walk around the lake and make few photos. Nearby canyon Blejski vintgar is great place to visit. Leave a Comment

 A Bledian view by mtncorg
Walk around the lake, early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Sit on a bench and contemplate the little island, the mountains beyond, the boats drifting on the water. Hike above the SW end of the lake to the viewpoint over the entire scene. Take a boat cruise to the island - maybe a tourist trap there? Or walk up to the castle on the north end of the lake. For nice 'virtual panoramas' of the lake, castle and from the island, go to this website and click on the 'Bled' circle. The site is in both English and Slovene.
Lake Bohinj is an alternative and is a fine lake. But comparing the two experiences to me is comparing wine to beer. What is the point? Go and see both!! Leave a Comment

 Salp Slavica by Linky_Pinky
To get there in the first place, starting at the bus drop off near to the cable car, walk forward along the road for 4.5km, I jumped out in front of a fourwheel drive and flagged them down, a young couple from Virginia in the States wondered what the problem was, I asked them for a lift and they kindly agreed saved a long walk in the heat, anyway turned out I helped them too as they visited the waterfall too and as they were looking for accomodation I told them of a guest house in a lovely area which I saw them at later that day.
On the map this is called Slap Slavica. Leave a Comment

 Tolar coins used until
December 2006 by JLBG
Tolar coins were used until December 2006. The new €uros coins have one national side.
As soon as I get them, I will put here the national face of the new coins. I borough to Wikipedia their description:
€ 0.01 : A stork, a motif taken from the former 20 SIT coin
€ 0.02 : The Prince's stone, where Karantanian dukes were installed
€ 0.05 : Grohar's painting A Sower sowing stars
€ 0.10 : Plečnik's idea for the national parliament, with the inscription "Katedrala svobode" (Cathedral of freedom)
€ 0.20 : A pair of Lipizzaner horses with the inscription "Lipicanec" (Lipizzaner)
€ 0.50 : Triglav, constellation of Cancer1 and inscription from Jakob AljaĎ's song "Oj Triglav moj dom" (O Triglav, my home)
€ 1.00 : Primož Trubar and the inscription "Stati inu obstati" (to stand and withstand)
€ 2.00 :·France Prešeren and the first line of the 7th stanza of Zdravljica (Slovenian national anthem)
€ 2 Coin Edge : S L O V E N I J A
More detailed information on the €uro coins will be found on the Slovenian Government Public Relations and Media Office site Leave a Comment
