Exploring Slovenia

Nestled among forested hills and snow-capped peaks, Lake Bled enchants with its island church and cliffside castle. 💙 From deep green in winter to sapphire blue in summer, it’s one of Europe’s most iconic alpine gems. Best viewpoints 👉 exploringslovenia.com/blog/2022/05/1…

Fresh snow will blanket Velika Planina these days but in less than a month, its vast pastures will turn purple with blooming crocuses — a spectacular natural event that happens only once a year. Join us in April to see it! exploringslovenia.com/tours/velika-p…

The first crocuses are already coming out in the mountains 😍😍😍

I’ve been exploring Iški Rob lately, one of the most scenic edges of the Dinaric Alps just south of Ljubljana. This limestone ridge rises steeply above the wild Iška Valley, offering dramatic viewpoints, forested slopes, and a sense of remoteness surprisingly close to the city.

While spring flowers bloom below, the high Julian Alps remain deep in winter. 😍 Photo by 📸 @mandelj.bostjan

Every March certain slopes of various hills just a few kilometers outside of Celje (the fourth-largest city of Slovenia) burst with blooming heather and the otherwise end-of-winter dull brown forests turn magically purple. Read more on Blog: exploringslovenia.com/blog/2025/03/3…

7 Waterfalls Trail is one of the most scenic walks in Istria. The trail follows the Mirna River canyon and passes a series of beautiful waterfalls, natural pools and rocky viewpoints. Along the way, we enjoyed lush forests and spectacular views of the surrounding karst landscape.

In about a month, the pastures of Velika Planina will turn purple with blooming crocuses — a spectacular sight that happens only once a year. 🌸 Join our guided hikes year-round, or come in April to see the bloom. Details: exploringslovenia.com/tours/velika-p…

The Soča Valley is slowly waking up to spring 😍

When a hike finishes with a sunset like this ♥️ Here are two photos from the finish line of our 14-km loop hike along Kraški Rob, a dramatic limestone escarpment in southwestern Slovenia where the Karst plateau rises steeply above the Istrian landscape.

If the valleys are already showing off the first spring flowers, the mountains still remain in the clutch of winter ❄️ Photo by 📸 @jerneja.bergoc

The first spring flowers are here and the valleys are starting to change color. Here’s how the Soča valley looks now 😍😍😍 Photos by 📸 @vodnares
