    Slow start after a good meal
    by KristaB
    Slovenia has a very good main network of super modern highways, and that's great.
    But some areas are really lovely and if you have time, use local roads to get a better view of the landscape and villages.

    This is one section of the local road from Ljubljana to Koper. Since the new highway was built, the traffic is very moderate, and it became very popular with the bikers - many nice curves to scrape the knees.

    Villages, mountains, fields, good old traditional restaurants ...

    Getting from Primorska (coast and Karst) region to Gorenjska region would be much more difficult without this option of driving your car up on a train and then through the tunnel . You board the train with your car, pay very cheap ticket ( 11 EUR one way per car, not per person) and sit in your vehicle enjoying 10 minutes long ride through complete darkness! We went from Bohinjska Bistrica to Most na Soci, and even though it was a grim rainy day, we had such a great time. You might find yourself steering the wheel while the train is taking a curve hehehe!

    The whole journey lasts around 45 minutes, and the view from the train is gorgeous - emerald green Soca river and small villages passing by. We shall do this again!

    Slovenia is a small country and access to any place is very easy and fast. The longest route thru Slovenia is about 280 km.
    There is a good railway and bus network.

    BY TRAIN: direct from Italy, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Yugoslavia and Macedonia.

    BY PLANE : airlines Adria,Easyjet,Malev,Austrian Airlines,Lufthansa,Czech Airlines are landing
    on Ljubljana Airport.

    You can also hire a car at very reasonable price and travel all around to different places.

    Trail entering old military
    tunnel
    by mtncorg
    The most unique trails I found in Slovenia were those that used old military mulepaths. The are many such tracks in the vicinity of Krn Peak near Kobarid. These trails do switchback, endlessly, it seems. One very fascinating track is the one that takes off from the Kluze Fort - located on the Predil Pass highway between Bovec and Log na Mangartom. It leads up to another fort - Fort Henry, built in the very early 1900's - and takes maybe a half hour to reach or so. The trail has several old sentry posts built into the cliffs and one 100 meter section goes through and old tunnel.

    Iron pegs and footholds
    lead upwards
    by mtncorg
    Trails in Slovenia seem to vary dramatically from those in other countries. Slovene trails don't like to switchback for one example. They like to take a direct line -- UP!! Instead of a switchback, you get an iron peg or cable to grab ahold of to haul yourself up some particularly steep section. You can gain - or lose - elevation quickly in Slovenia. This can be a good thing - switchbacks can become mentally tiring quite quickly. The downside is that a trail going straight up (or down) is more prone to erosion and rockfall from other hikers above you. Also, wet weather can make footing on these trails very dangerous.

    We chose to rent a car because we wanted the freedom of going anywhere we desired. To control our expenses, we rented one of the cheapest cars possible - a Zastava. Ours had no working reverse gear (we had to get out and push it) and it died every time we came to a stop. The clerk behind the rental counter in Zagreb candidly told us "The Yugo is a much better car." No kidding.

    Maybe if we had paid a little more, we would have gotten a car that could go into reverse.

    If you are going to rent a car, I recommend NOT renting the cheapest car possible.

    by mtncorg
    Atop many peaks in Slovenia, you will find that in the afternoon sun, paragliders, hanggliders and sailplanes sometimes outnumbering hikers and climbers. The day I was atop Krn, a sailplane constantly buzzed the peak's top and the hut, Gomisckovo Zavetisce, just below, so close you could see the pilot's wide grin.

    • Zetoni! That's what a bus token is called. If you ever wondered where and how to buy a bus ticket, well, you don't. You buy a bus coupon/token (a pink coin actually) which is called Zetoni, at the newspaper kiosk. Guess what, I thought, that you can buy tickets IN the bus. But the driver decided it was easier to give me a free ride than explain how to buy a bus ticket! :-)

    The main bus station in Ljubljana (next to the train station) has a couple of computerized terminals that I found to be extremely helpful. You can find timetables and routes for any two destinations in Slovenia. You can check info for todays' schedule as well as future dates - which is helpful as service on many routes seems to be reduced on weekends.

    Back streeets Piran
    by Linky_Pinky
    There are two ways of getting to Piran from Trieste on public transport, the first and the way I went is by bus, first get a bus from Trieste bus staion (next to the train staion) to Koper this is just over the board of Italy and in Slovenia, the first satge of your journey is paid in Euros, once at Koper make sure you have some Tollars as the next stage to Piran is to be paid to the driver in Tollars only, there is an exchange palce at Koper, but little else as just a terminus for the buses.
    IMPORTANT:- DO TAKE YOUR PASSPORT WITH YOU AS YOU ARE CROSSING BOARDERS.
    On the way back both parts of the journey are paid in Tollars so leave enough to get back with.
    On the way back I bought a drink at the kiosk at Koper to try and use up the last of my Tollars only to have to take it back to pay the fare, lucky I never opened it lol.

    The other way to get there is by boat, according to the tourist office this only runs once a week on a Wednesday at least it did when I was there in May.This sounds a much more pleasent journey as it was quite hot.
