Romantic Lake Bled is a Slovenian Alpine gem with a spectacular church on the island in the middle of the glacial lake. Venture to the island in a pletna, a traditional boat, made by the local people. Take a moment to enjoy the magnificent view of the surrounding highest peaks of the Julian Alps. Bled Castle dominates the scene overlooking the lake from the top of a cliff, and conceals an interesting interior with several hundred years of history. Enjoy the taste of Bled’s cream cake, as made only in Slovenia. In the last 60 years, over 12 million famous cream cakes have been sold in Bled.

Postojna cave is one of the most famous caves in the world, open to tourists. The British BBC devoted a special report on the Slovenian karst and Postojna Cave. It is known for its unique forms of stalactites and stalagmites, and is one of the most diverse cave systems in the world. Admire the great underground Concert Hall, where different cultural and sports events take place. Have a unique experience at the cave which hosted Archduke Ferdinand I, the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph and the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in the past. A unique experience is a ride on the 140-year-old cave train that takes you deep underground, and the human fish, endemic to the Slovenian karst and which reporters described as a creature from another world.
