The Julian Alps and the area around the Triglav National Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty and a wonderful area to live in
if you enjoy the splendour of mountain scenery and all the superb sporting opportunities which go with it. The park itself measures 85
hectares and is one of the largest in Europe. Triglav towers above the valleys standing at 2864 metres. Further down the valley is Lake
Bled famous for its island with a 17th century church and bell of wishes.
Ljubljana is a young and lively city. Here the west and East meet and it comes of no surprise to learn that it was central to the route
of the Orient Express as it made its way from Venice to Budapest and on to Istanbul. It is a city of culture with musical, theatre, and
fine arts performances as well as a thriving university with more than 50,000 students. Its street culture of numerous cafes and
restaurants and outdoor markets have endeared it to us all
The Slovene and Croatian coasts are where the Hapsburg royal family spent their holidays. They are only a few hours away from Ljubljana
and form part of a second natural park. Koper, Piran and Potoroz are steeped in historical interest and you can feel the presence of the
Venetian traders. The surrounding areas are hilly and there are some wonderful craggy descents. Water sports are very important in the
Istrian Peninsula.
The Pohorje, the Maribor region and the thermal spas are in an area that is rapidly developing alongside the programme for the Goricko
Regional Park. The spa areas themselves are a big attraction especially being so close to the Hungarian and Croatian borders. The new
motorway will increase accessibility dramatically to this very pretty wine growing area.
