From Alpine to Mediterranean, from Karst to Forest in Slovenia

Wow, this 4-day route of Slovenia has it all! The first day proposes to get close to the Alps and get to know life in a shepherd's village. You'll take a cable car up, go hiking, explore the village, talk to the shepherds and even eat a traditional cheese known as “love cheese”.
The second day is an “underground day” because in the morning you will visit the town which has one of the largest mercury mines in the world and in the afternoon you will visit the incredible Postojna Cave, which includes an underground trek and a walk through tunnels and bridges. On this day, you will also visit a castle, more than 800 years old, embedded in the rocks, with an interesting history.
On the third day it's time for some relaxation, cycling through the salt pans, a spa in a hotel in Portoroz and a walk through the beautiful old town of Piran.
On the fourth day, before returning to the capital, you can visit the Kočevje area, home to one of the country's most densely forested areas, which is the home of the brown bear. Will you be able to see it and find its tracks? The day ends at a lake where you can relax, take a dip or do some water sports.
A very complete route! Remember to bring the equipment for each type of activity.
This route is ideal for the summer months of July and August because all the attractions are open, and you can experience the pastoral life on the plain.
It is also a kid-friendly route!
