Ojstrica Hike Lake Bled

Slovenia

I’ve been meaning to visit Slovenia for years now, ever since I set eyes on the fairytale Lake Bled. I’m pleased to say that it lived up to the hype and is utterly enchanting. But I wasn’t prepared for other destinations here to blow me away as well. Discover the dragons of Ljubljana or be mesmerised by Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle. Let’s start planning your whimsical Slovenian adventures!

I highly recommend booking Travel Insurance for Slovenia. I always choose World Nomads;
