DAY 2 - Best of Lake Bled

One of the most popular places to visit in Slovenia is definitely Lake Bled. You will have plenty of time to discover all the reasons why when spending the day on the shores of the lake and exploring all the places you want to see there. From great viewpoints and scenic hiking, to traditional sightseeing of historical places, you can spend the day as actively or as leisurely as you like.

DAY 3 - Lake Bohinj and Triglav National Park

Located deep in the Julian Alps at the heart of Triglav National Park and only a short drive from Bled, Lake Bohinj is a nature-lover’s paradise. It offers countless options for spending time in nature, be it hiking, cycling, or proper mountain climbing. It will satisfy the needs of adrenaline junkies with nearby canyons and rivers, but those looking for tranquil relaxation will not be disappointed either. Wherever you turn, breathtaking views are guaranteed.

Accommodation

Overnight camping in Bohinj

DAY 4 - Vršič Pass drive and Soča River Valley

Drive up the Vršič Pass and the windy road will take you to Soča Valley along the beautiful Soča River and spend time in the adrenaline capital of Slovenia called Bovec.

You can choose to spend the day hiking in the area, chasing waterfalls, or getting your adrenaline rush by joining rafting, canyoning or ziplining activities. Either way, the filmmakers of the Narnia movies knew why they chose this place to be one of the filming locations.

DAY 5 - The Karst

Further down the Soča River stream, you will visit the historic town of Kobarid, famous for its WWI battles and an award-winning museum, but you can choose to keep your trail in nature and visit the unique Kozjak Waterfall instead or even try climbing some of the epic mountains in the area and see where the famous battles took place.

The next town on your itinerary is Tolmin, where you can stop to check out the marvelous Tolmin Gorges before heading to the Karst area, where you can see the spectacular Škocjan Caves, a unique UNESCO site.

Accommodation

Overnight camping at a tourist farm in Karst

DAY 6 - The Coast

Besides the picturesque town of Piran, the Slovenian coast is dotted with towns, such as Koper, Izola, and Portorož. The so-called Slovenian Riviera is a popular place for summer holidays with its Mediterranean vibe and the easy-going atmosphere. It is great to just relax there or hop on a bicycle to explore the hilly surroundings full of vineyards and olive groves, enjoy some gourmet treats, or the incredible history of salt making.

Accommodation

Overnight camping at a coastal camping resort

DAY 7 - Slovenian caves & return to Ljubljana

Make the best of your last day and squeeze in a cave visit, be it the most famous, Postojna Cave, or one of the lesser-known but more adventurous caving options that the Slovenian Karst has to offer. On your way, you will also pass the popular Predjama Castle, a unique cave-castle wrapped in mysterious legends, a perfect stop to squeeze in before heading back to return the van.

Traveling around Slovenia in a campervan is a fantastic way of discovering the country’s wonderful landmarks and engaging in exciting activities while completely in control of your itinerary. We have compiled a list of the country’s main attractions for you to choose from to get the very most of your Slovenian holiday experience.

Each day can be packed to the brim with stuff to do, depending entirely on your mood and interests. From cultural tourism and family-oriented activities, to blood-rushing adrenaline rides, and everything in between. Although there are simply too many optional extras available for you to try, don’t worry, we offer the possibility of extending your holiday for a day or two so that you can check your favorites off the list.

Wherever you go, short distances and light traffic on well-maintained roads make driving in Slovenia easy and enjoyable. But don’t be fooled by its small size, Slovenia is among the most diverse places on Earth and offers an incredible array of must-visit destinations. Staying in safe, clean, and conveniently located camps will place you in the heart of the action.

You’ll set out on your campervanning adventure from the international airport, which is just a stone’s throw away from Ljubljana, Europe’s greenest capital. Ljubljana offers amazing sightseeing, excellent gastronomy, and outdoor recreation. Heading up to the Alpine region, you’ll visit the world-famous Lake Bled and explore the natural and cultural wonders of the area. Deep in the unspoiled embrace of Triglav National Park, you’ll set up camp in Bohinj and the scenic Soča Valley, where hiking, cycling, rafting, ziplining, rock climbing, canyoning, and much, much more can be enjoyed in this insanely picturesque part of Slovenia.

The last leg of your journey will take you through some more beautiful valleys, gorges and valleys, as you make your way across Slovenia’s enchanting Karst region towards the coast. The Mediterranean climate and pretty seaside towns, including charming Piran and lively Portorož and their surrounding treasures, will present you with a completely different side to Slovenia. Driving back to Ljubljana, you shouldn’t miss out on the spellbinding Postojna Cave and the medieval phenomenon of Predjama Castle.
