The Central European country of Slovenia is located at the crossroads of the main European cultural and trade routes. The north of the country is dominated by the Alps, while in the southwest the region is filled with beautiful caves and gorges.

For anyone who loves the outdoors, Slovenia’s impressive and unique landscapes are begging to be explored. And don’t forget to fuel up with their traditional dishes and excellent wines.
