The sunny side of the Alps

The small country between Austria and Italy offers a cultural and scenic mix of the two countries.

Location

According to Countryaah, Slovenia lies south of the Alps. The country is surrounded by Austria, Italy and Hungary as well as Croatia. With 2.7 million residents and an area roughly half that of Switzerland, it is one of the smallest countries in the European Union.

Slovenia landscape

The Slovenian landscape is very varied. Karawanken, Julian and Steiner Alps, rivers such as the Soča and finally the coastal region form a unique composition.

Vacation in Slovenia

” The sunny side of the Alps “, ” the ski resort on the Adriatic ” – Slovenia has won many titles. While these slogans may sound like they come from the tourist web catalog, they mostly apply. Small towns like Kranj, for example, are an ideal vacation spot both in summer and in winter. In winter you can warm up in the valley after the descent and in summer plan the route to the next mountain.
However, you should only spend your vacation in summer – on the Adriatic coast on the beach. Slovenia has a small stretch of coast on the Gulf of Venice in the Mediterranean. Probably the most beautiful coastal town is Piran. The town was part of the Venetian Empire between the 13th and 18th centuries. The architecture on the coast differs considerably from that in the interior.

City trip to Ljubljana

The capital Ljubljana offers a lot of culture. The city, which is called Laibach in German, is named in Slovenian after the river Ljubljanica. It is also he who shapes the city. And so the old town is east of the river and the more modern part is west of it. The ” 3 bridges “, three bridges that all lead over the river and end in a square, Prešeren Square, are particularly attractive. There is a statue of the national hero France Prešeren and the University of Ljubljana on the square.
