10-day Fly & Drive Holiday in Slovenia

You will pick up your car in Ljubljana and get started with your itinerary. Wandering around Ljubljana will keep you highly entertained as well as give you a chance to acclimatize to the magical ambiance of the place.

Your first taste of the Slovenian Alps will come in the form of one of the most scenic valleys in the country, Logar Valley. Spend the day amidst towering mountains with great possibilities for hiking, waterfalls, and remarkable views. Enjoy scenic rides on panoramic roads with plenty of stops at mountain passes.

You will continue to Jezersko, a charming Alpine corner tucked away on the other side of the Kamnik-Savinja range. Untouched by civilization, its tranquillity and rustic atmosphere will impress you no-end.

Slovenia’s most prized attraction, Lake Bled, will give you plenty to write home about. There are tons of things to do and see in and around the town of Bled. Breath-taking viewpoints, scenic hiking trails, traditional sightseeing of historical places like the Bled Castle… You decide how active or leisurely your stay in Bled will be.

A short drive from Bled in its magnificent counterpart – Lake Bohinj. Perched in the heart of the Julian Alps in the world-renowned Triglav National Park, Lake Bohinj and its surroundings are a nature enthusiast’s refuge beyond description. The area offers countless options for spending time in the wild outdoors; be it hiking, cycling, or gravity-defying mountain climbing.

Additional thrills can be had in the nearby canyons and rivers, or you can opt for some tranquil relaxation at the lakeshore. Spectacular views are guaranteed either way.

At the very tip of north-western Slovenia lies a small Alpine sports hub of Kranjska Gora. It’s an absolute favorite among local and foreign visitors who come to enjoy this mountainous wonderland and the numerous activities it offers.

Wonderful hiking and cycling trails are all around the stunning Lake Jasna, which you can see at the beginning of your drive up to Vršič Pass. Following this windy road, you arrive at another Alpine marvel: the Soča Valley

Waking up, you may think you’re in heaven. Close enough, you’re in the Soča Valley, the adrenaline capital of Slovenia called Bovec, to be precise. You can choose to spend the day hiking in this jaw-dropping environment, chase waterfalls or get your adrenaline fix by indulging in rafting, canyoning, or ziplining activities. Remember, there are only the right choices in this pristine place!

Further down the Soča River, you will enter the historic gem of Kobarid. Famous for its role in WWI, Kobarid invites you to visit its award-winning museum. Or you can decide to tick the nature trail and snap a photo of Kozjak Waterfall instead, or even try climbing some of the epic mountains in the local area to discover which famous WWI battles took place there.

The next town on your itinerary is Tolmin with its marvelous gorges, before heading to Slovenia’s unforgettable Karst region.

Important

The temperature in the cave is 10C, so make sure you have warm layers with you.

Besides the Venetian-style jewel of Piran, the Slovenian coast is dotted with lovely towns, such as Koper, Izola and Portorož. The so-called Slovenian Riviera is a popular summer destination with that special seaside vibe and an easy-going atmosphere.

Here you can simply relax or hop on a bicycle to explore the hilly surroundings full of vineyards and olive groves, enjoy some gourmet treats, or learn first-hand about the fascinating history of salt making.

The final day of your fly & drive holiday should be spent in true Slovenian touristic fashion: In the most beautiful caves on the planet. The UNESCO heritage site of Škocjan Caves, or one of the lesser-known but more adventurous caving options that the Slovenian Karst has to offer, will round up your trip perfectly.

Then it’s back to Ljubljana, back to reality, and back to pondering what kind of Slovenian holiday you would like to go on next!
