We will then drive on to the world-famous Postojna Cave, with its impressive stalactites and stalagmites and featuring the only two-track underground cave rail in the world, and to Predjama Castle, built in the 13th century in Gothic style.

Slovenia is a small Slavic country south of Austria, part of the EU and the most northerly region of the former Yugoslavia. It borders Austria to the north, Hungary to the east, Croatia to the south and Italy to the west. Famous for its vast network of caves and rivers, most notably the renowned Postojna site, and its numerous vineyards and endless forests and mountains, Slovenia has rapidly been transformed into Europe’s best-kept secret for holidaymakers. With a population of fewer than 300,000, the beautiful city of Ljubljana is one of the smallest capitals in Europe and its much-envied national parks are one of the few parts of Europe still to be roamed by brown bears in the wild. Due to its Alpine-Mediterranean climate, Slovenia benefits from dry hot summers.

Bled is Slovenia’s beauty spot and one of the prettiest Alpine resorts in Europe. Famed for its emerald green lake, picture-postcard church on an islet and medieval castle, Bled is home to some of the highest peaks in the Julian Alps and Karawanks mountain ranges. The main sights are the beautiful Lake Bled itself and Bled Island. There is plenty to do here, from leisurely hikes around the lake to ascending the old castle perched on top of a steep cliff above Lake Bled. And to ensure you see as much as possible of this beautiful country on this solo holiday, we have put together a programme, which includes some of the best things to do in Slovenia.
