Top Nature Spots in Slovenia

My advice is to bring some cash. While many places accept cards, some smaller vendors might not, especially in the more remote areas.

Don't forget to check the weather before you go! It can change rapidly up there; I got caught in the rain, and it wasn't fun!

If you plan to hike, make sure to bring enough water and snacks. There are only a few places to refill in the park, and you don’t wanna get caught without supplies!

I met a lot of friendly locals at the small shops in the area. They can give you some insider tips on less crowded trails; don’t hesitate to ask them!

Check the weather a day before you go. I went on a rainy day and the views were still stunning, but the trails were super muddy. A sunny day would’ve been better for hiking.

If you're keen on a walk, take the upper pathways. The views of Ljubljana are stunning there, and it’s less crowded than the main paths, so it feels more peaceful.

Check out the Art Pavilion and the National Gallery while you're in the park. They’re close by and the entrance fees are reasonable, plus it’s a great way to escape the sun on a hot day.

Bring a picnic! The nearby areas have fantastic spots to chill and enjoy a meal with beautiful lake views – it's way cheaper than eating at nearby cafes.

check out the little wooden bridge for the best snapshots of the lake and mountains; i spent ages looking for the perfect spot but this one was a gem!

You might want to pack a picnic and enjoy it by the river; there are some lovely spots, and saved us from eating overpriced snacks in the nearby cafes

I highly recommend wearing good hiking shoes; the paths can get slippery, especially after rain. Trust me, I learned the hard way!

I suggest visiting in the late afternoon around 4 PM. The light is incredible for photos, and it’s less crowded, so you can enjoy the peace of nature better.
