Are you tired of the crowds on weekends and during holidays that wind along the coast or one of the popular tourist spots in Gorenje? Check out some lesser-known corners of Slovenia, which in terms of their beauty are in no way behind the more populated ones.
Cerkljansko
Cerkljansko hribovje offers a lot of hiking trails and natural beauties that are worth visiting. Narrow valleys with crystal clear rivers wind through the hilly landscape, and green plateaus and isolated farms rise above them. The hiking trails in Cerkljansko offer wonderful views of the Bohinj Mountains and the Julian Alps, and only a few visitors. Go to Porezen, the highest hill of the Cerkljan hills, or visit the Padstanajca waterfall, which will take you a good half hour's walk.

Socoje
In Posočje you will find a lot of interesting and beautiful corners, one of them is without a doubt Šunik's Water Grove. It is hidden in the Lepene valley, in the heart of the Triglav National Park. You can walk to it along a shorter or longer hiking trail, but the longer one offers more opportunities to admire the beautiful nature that surrounds you. In the end, you will be rewarded with fabulous views of green pools and clear waterfalls.

Slovenian coast
The Slovenian coast hides a bunch of beautiful towns and natural attractions, and its hinterland is also a real feast for the eyes. The castle of Socerb keeps a watchful eye over the Slovenian coast, promising unforgettable views of the Gulf of Trieste. Fans of sunsets will be delighted by the view and colors they will experience here as the sun slowly sinks into the sea. You can climb up to the castle on foot, which is definitely worth it, but if you're in a hurry, you can also take the road by car. Nearby you can also find the Holy Cave with the only underground church in Slovenia.

Prekmurje

Lake Bukovnik, located in the municipality of Dobrovnik in the extreme northeast of the country, is one of the popular spots among the locals. The lake is perfect for walks, picnics and many sports activities, and it boasts as many as 26 energy points. Explore the excellent local cuisine or visit one of the wine cellars. Some time ago, they also arranged a parking lot for motorhomes.
