Where are you going this weekend? We have found for you some wonderful corners in Slovenia that you must visit and explore!
Here are 5+ ideas where you can go on a trip or a weekend getaway in Slovenia!
Boka waterfall
The most watery and the most powerful Slovenian waterfall with a total height of 144 m and a width of 18 m, it is one of the most magnificent waterfalls in Europe. The view of the vertical rock walls, in the middle of which the Boka waterfall splashes richly, is a feast for the eyes. The waters that accumulate in the highlands of the Kaninsko pogorje come to light on a rock ledge, over which they fall freely 106 m, immediately after that another 30 m deep. They increase with depth due to strong impact on the ground and undermining.

Cave of the Cross
Cave of the Cross lies in the triangle between Loški polje, Cerkniški polje and Bloška plateau. It is the world-famous water karst cave, whose special features are numerous underground lakes with zigzag barriers (as many as 45 of them in total), an exceptional site of cave bear bones and natural preservation, so there is no electric lighting and concrete paths in the cave. So you will get rubber boots and a portable rechargeable flashlight for the tour. Each visit also includes boat ride. On a short tour or a short tour including a tour of Medvedje Rov, you will take a boat ride on the first lake. If you come for a longer tour, the route will lead you across 13 lakes to Kalvarija. On the longest alternative tour to Kristalna Gora, you go over a total of 20 lakes. On both longer tours, the cave guide ensures that the cave is protected as much as possible in order to carry the boat over the zigzag barriers.

Veliki and Mali Šumik
Let yourself be enchanted by the most remarkable natural attractions in the area Pohorje Nature Park, where many hiking trails lead you. Along the Lobnica stream, 19 hectares of unspoiled Pohor forest is spread, where beeches, spruces and firs, as well as habitats of rare plants, have found their secret refuge. After a short descent between the cliffs near Lobnica, you will reach the waterfall Great Shumik, one of our most powerful waterfalls, and a little further to Little Šumik. The route between Veliki and Mali Šumik is considered very demanding.
