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.
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.
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!
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!
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...
From the hot springs that were discovered at the end of 18th century has Terme Catez in 200 years grown into the largest Slovenian natural health resort and the second tourist centre in the country. The share of tourist overnight stays present more than 7% of all tourist overnight stays in Slovenia and at the same time 21% of all overnight stays in all Slovenian health resorts.The termal paradise and variety of offers attract 640.000 bathing guests every year, visiting and enjoing themselves on the Thermal Riviera - the summer and the winter - which is the most variegated in this part of Europe.
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.
The Postojna cave is the biggest cave in Slovenia, excellent maintained and gives you a lot of wonderfu sights, but it is very expencive and crowded, ... there are many other wonderful caves in Slovenia to see, like "Skocjanske jame" (the Skocjan Cave nead Divaca), "Krizna jama" (the Krizna cave), "Otoska jama" (the Otok cave near Postojna), "Zupanova jama" (the Major's cave between Grosuplje and Turjak), ...Very lovely and in some caves you may be the only person who is entering the cave besides the guide.
Avoid going to the most popular natural places over the weekend. Everybody is going there.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.
Short Slovenian coast doesn't thrill me with great mediterranean feeling. Slovenians usually spend their vacation elsewere. 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.

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...
