Enjoy the ride
While everyone keeps whining that public transporation in Slovenia has gone downhill in recent years, I found that it was possible to get almost everywhere I wanted to go using trains and buses. (I admit that I traveled in the western half of the country; supposedly it's worse in the east.)Because many of the routes were laid out in a more leisurely age, they sometimes seem meandering, but I find it pleasant to potter along admiring the scenery. The train from Ljubljana to Koper makes some spectacular hairpin turns near the coast, affording an excellent view of the church at Hrastovlje (but it doesn't stop there, grr!). The route along the Soca River is famous for its views too. I came into Ljubljana from Trieste, and that's a wonderful trip too: forests, karst landscapes, and gorgeous views across a grassy plain as you approach the city.The trains run on time (yay!), many of the cars...
