Slovenia is an alpine world full of virgin nature, secluded forest paths and clear mountain rivers. Snowy Alpine peaks, forested mountains, valleys with vineyards, wide plains, seaside landscape and the Adriatic coast, all this diversity is amazing. The pristine nature harmoniously merges with the world of European civilization - ancient castles, churches, historical cities and villages.
The ridges of the Eastern Slovenian Alps rise in the north and northwest of the country, forming a natural border with Austria. The Alpine landscape is intersected by picturesque valleys and rivers. Waterfalls and alpine lakes Bled and Bohinj of glacial origin have amazing blue and crystal clear water.
Slovenia occupies one of the leading places in Europe in terms of forest area.

In the lowlands of the river valleys - swampy meadows, and high in the mountains - alpine. On the Adriatic coast, mostly Medditeranean vegetation.
The architectural heritage is carefully guarded. The streets of small towns, ancient castles that have absorbed the features of Gothic and Baroque culture. Monasteries and temples, which were once defensive structures, are the pride of the country. In the city of Celje (the third largest city in Slovenia), popularly known as the “Second Troy”, the ruins of ancient buildings have survived to this day.
The people of Slovenia are hardworking and friendly. The very name of the country unites with the peoples of the Slavic states. And the name of the capital - Ljubljana speaks of friendliness and love for other nations.
Slovenians say this about their country: “When God created the earth, he decided to settle in Slovenia and therefore generously rewarded this small country with natural wealth and beauty.” Having visited this small but very cozy country, you are convinced that this is true.
