Slovenia was the first of the former Yugoslav Republics to gain independence in 1991. Since then it has become a solid European country, joining the EU and just this year (2007) adopting the Euro.
From a travelling perspective, Slovenia packs a punch for such a small country. There is the cosmopolitan capital of Ljubljana; from which any traveller comfortable in the capitals of Western Europe will feel right at home and which offers a base to visit the rest of this country. Slovenia offers the mountains of the Julian Alps where one can hike, bike, and kayak, among many other adventure activities. The quaint town of Bled with its lake, island church, and castle. The karst cave systems of Postojna and Škocjan. The short Adriatic coastline highlighted by Piran. Wineries and spas abound throughout the country. Simply put every traveller will find something to their liking in Slovenia. Enjoy it now while it's still lesser known than some of its more popular European neighbours.

Around one half of the country (11,691 km²; 4,514 sq mi) is covered by forests; this makes Slovenia the third most forested country in Europe, after Finland and Sweden. Remnants of primeval forests are st...

Aljažev stolp (The Aljaž’s Tower) is the highest mountain shelter in Slovenia, situated at the top of the Triglav Mountain (our highest peak). Triglav is important national symbol of Slovenia and also appears on our flag.
The tower was designed and set up by a priest Jakob Aljaž. He wanted to prevent the increased of foreigners for Slovene mountains (don’t know why, though J), so he bought the peak for 5 Austro-Hungarian florins and put up a tower on a property that was his ba...

I spend this weekend in Ljubljana and visited some of my family. On Saturday morning I went to city centre by bus and took some photos. Ljubljana organised "a day without a car" on that day, so the streets were almost empty. I wish this would happend more often!
I also got a chance to see a little play of an old punishment for Ljubljana bakers in Middle Ages. If they set the price of a bread too high, they were dived in Ljubljanica river. They normally didn't drown, authority...

I got this article by e-mail about how Slovene language is supposed to be difficult. Really made me laugh! See it yourself…
By Victor Irving
Slovenian is one of the most complicated languages on earth.
Take this joke from students who were struggling with the language:
- Let's order two coffee.
- All right, coffee is kava and two is dva, so dva kava?
- No, it's dva kavo - 4th case because it's the object of the sentence: (I'd like) dva kavo.
- But hey, adjecti...
