Slovenia Holidays

With a landscape combining a mix of lakes, mountains and forests there are plenty of activities on offer including, white-water rafting, skiing, trekking and horse riding. Lake Bled is famous for its church which is set on an island in the middle of a lake. There are also numerous underground Karst caves to visit such as Postojna Cave which has a small train to show tourists around. The capital: Ljubljana is quite a small city making it easy to get around on foot. There are numerous museums to explore as well as a number of Roman ruins and the Ljubljana Castle on top of which you can get a great view of the city.
