Slovenian Impressions. Feel pure LOVE.
Slovenia. The only country in the world with LOVE in its name. It is also the only European country which connects the Alps, the Mediterranean and the Pannonian Plain in manageable distances. And that’s not all: it also has the Karst and other beauties. In Slovenia love connects diversities. You can find it and feel it in your own way.

Slovenian Impressions. Beloved Ljubljana (short)
Ljubljana is beloved. The words in Slovene almost sound the same. And for those who really know Ljubljana, these words have the same meaning. The capital of the country with the word love in its name is the junction of Slovenia’s diversities. Museums and galleries, pubs along the river and city squares, theatres and concert halls, festivals organized in the streets during the summer, all lined up near the Plečnik’s Triple Bridge. Nature is easily accessible from the centre of Ljubljana, a city that proudly carried the title European Green Capital 2016. See everything by bike or foot, take a walk in the city park or up the hill to enjoy the view from the castle above the city.
Slovenian Impressions. Taste of the Slovenian sea.
“Salt is the sea that could not return to the sky.” This is inscribed on the packaging of Piran salt, which is produced in the same way as at the time when the most beautiful town on the Slovenian coast was emerging on salty marine shoals of the Adriatic Sea.
But clean sea, kind sun and the typical wind are not enough to make good salt. Slovenian salt producers know that the best salt is also made with love. The salt flower, one of the best in the world, is still made according to traditional methods.
People come to Slovenian coast to feel good. The hinterland invites them to see the olive plantations and vineyards, caressed by the salty winds. The winds mixed with the music of virtuosos such as Tartini and the sounds of birds that return to protected wetlands.

Slovenian Impressions. Mysterious Karst.
Stone landscapes exist all over the world, but the Karst is unique. Postojna Cave is the largest and the most visited karst cave in Europe. A special train has been carrying tourists since 1818. On the arch in front of the high rock wall, behind which several levels of karst tunnels hide, is Predjama Castle.
The Karst is the region in south-western Slovenia, where vineyards grow on limestone soil and give birth to teran wine. This is where the Lipizzaner horses from the oldest stud farm graze. Not far away are the Škocjan Caves that hide the largest underwater canyon in Europe andare on the UNESCO world heritage list.
Cerknica Lake, the largest Slovenian lake, covers 26km2. However, it can be seen only during one part of the year, when underground water fills the green karst field. Go deeper, discover misteries of the Slovenian Karst.
Slovenian Impressions. World of authentic flavours. (short)
Take a seat! It’s good. Genuine Slovenian inns, tourist farms and restaurants that vary their menus with the seasons prove that Slovenia is a culinary paradise. The ingredients for delicacies come from the nearby fields and forests, rivers, lakes and the sea. Let yourself be surprised by the food in the street at the Open Kitchen in Ljubljana, for instance. Slovenia has three wine-growing regions and 24 gastronomic regions. Original wines like zelen, cviček, teran, ranina, rebula have put Slovenia on the map of the wine-growing world of the future. Dober tek & na zdravje! (Bon appetite & Cheers!)

My way of tasting love in Slovenia ????????????
Slovenia. A place where I'm free to go my own way.
That's my way of grabbing a taxi to downtown.
My way of having a bite of the sweet Mediterranean.
Mingling with the stars beneath the stars. My way.
And my way of walking through the pages of history.
That's my way of stopping for a bite & making new friendships.
My way of being in a foodie wonderland.
And my way of local shopping.
My way of enjoying food culture with the world's finest chefs.
It is just like my way of tasting wild nature on a wine safari.
My favorite scent of autumn captured in a glass.
That's Slovenia. My way.
Find your way to feel Slovenia.
