 | Slovenia Tourist Traps | Tips 11 - 20 of 39 |  |
This is probably the biggest tourist trap in the whole of Slovenia as its right outside the biggest tourist attraction in Slovenia. There are all kinds of tacky stalls and shops that line the road up to the cave entrance that sell everything from photos on plates to tacky T-shirts and such like. Some of the stuff is quite interesting like the minerals and other rock formations but most of it is pure tat. Leave a Comment

Yes the castle is great but as a visitor there is really nothing to see inside excepted :
- 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

The locals take good care of their wineyards, arranging them with care and love. Some of them have placed tools from the past times.
This is a kind of ancient tool, used in wineyard cultivation. It stands right in front of the Belec wine-cellar in area of Jeruzalem hills. Leave a Comment

When strolling up and down the hills of Jeruzalem area, you'll see a lot of cozy wine-cellars like this one on the picture. Remember, Slovenian word for wine is VINO. I suggest you to buy wine in the cellars coz it is much cheaper than in the stores.
Of course, you can taste the wine before buying it, but try not too much coz after you may see "more hills and curves" than previous. Leave a Comment

Wineyards of Jeruzalem (a winepath triangle Ormož-Jeruzalem-Ptuj) is situated in the eastern part of the country.
Here you can find a good quality of wines; do not drink when drive coz you may have a lot of troubles with loco police officers. Leave a Comment

Not so much a trap as a way to make things a little cheaper!
If you buy beer in the supermarket make sure you buy it by the can rather than the bottle, or you will have to pay a deposit on the bottle which you will only get back when you return it to them! Leave a Comment

Supermarkets. You probably have those at home so dont let yourself loose. Do you really need to spend? Slovenia has becomed overwhelmed by supermarkets. I am amazed we are capable of so much buying to support them all. But I guess we are. Forget the mountains - climb into one of them, buy something you dont need, get traped.
Surprisingly, (a majority of) Slovenian people have come to a decision, confirmed on a referendum, that supermarkets are to be closed on Sundays.
While freedom of choice will soon be no longer awailable, people are invited to visit churches on Sunday. (The biggest fear of having supermarkets open was the people will stop going to churches.) Since i am not religious person myself, what else can I do on Sundays? Hm... maybe add some more tips on VT! Leave a Comment

Close to the Slovene-Italian border, lying deep in the heart of the karst countryside under the blue Mediterranean sky, is the Lipica Stud Farm, the cradle of the white Lipizzaner horse. Founded in 1580, the stud ranks among the most important cultural and historical monuments in Slovenia. Through the centuries, the stud has maintained the tradition of breeding and selecting the best purebred Lipizzaner horses.
Present-day Lipica is a well-equipped tourist resort with a touch of tradition. It offers a range of modern facilities such as hotels, an indoor swimming pool, a sauna, a fitness center, conference rooms, a casino, a golf course, and tennis courts. Guests can spend a delightful holiday learning or improving riding skills, taking carriage rides, or simply enjoying the unspoiled natural surroundings. Children can ride ponies or amuse themselves in the children's playground. A performance of the classical riding school, which takes place in a covered arena, is an unforgettable experience, as is a visit to the stud farm.
Please do bother and see my "Sport travel Tips"
on Lipica. Thank you. Leave a Comment

Commanding cpectacular views across the lake, the medieval castle was the summer residence of the Yugoslav royal family.
Lake Bled is a Alpine diamant.
You can see all the beauty of Bled if you go to the island in the centre of the lake. Guess how...with a special boat. The island is a must. Leave a Comment
