SLOVENIA
Slovenia is a gem of a country for nature lovers because of its ever-changing scenery.
In the north, you are greeted by dark, mysterious forests, with the whitewashed peaks of the Alps rising high above them.
The more northwest you go, the deeper the valleys and the higher the hills and mountains.

In the northeast and east, narrow gravel roads run along vast green meadows and yellow crop fields.
Mineral and thermal springs as well as spas and water parks lie only a few kilometres apart, and the vineyards, stretching over rolling hills, are ripe with red and golden grapes.

Towards the southwest, the landscape begins to shift under the influence of the Adriatic: olive groves and vineyards abound, and there's a smell of salt in the air. The sea awaits for a plunge.

Southward and southeastward, various karst features rule the landscape, and karst caves come one right after another, showing their underground splendour.
The dense primeval forest stretches far across the country's borders.
