A forest right under one's nose in Ljubljana
Ljubljana is one of the greenest capitals in Europe, and there is plenty of evidence to support this claim. One is the fact that you can take a walk in the city centre and all of a sudden end up in a forest. Together with Tivoli Park and Mostec, Rožnik Hill is a popular forest refuge for Ljubljana's residents and visitors. It is literally mere steps away from its busiest streets and squares. You can also find forest oases in the middle of the city up on Castle Hill and Golovec.

The forest is home to large carnivores
Large carnivores such as the wolf, lynx and brown bear roam Slovenian forests. There are frequent misconceptions about them, so it is well worth visiting the Large Carnivore Awareness Centre in Pivka, where interactive exhibitions enables visitors to take a closer look at large carnivores and their habitat, their importance and role in natural ecosystems and the ways in which humans and large carnivores coexist.
