Slovenia is often overshadowed by Europe’s biggest and busier countries, but it’s actually one of its best-hidden gems. One of the best things about it are the many natural wonders it has in store, and here are three you shouldn’t miss for the world if you’re lucky enough to set foot in Slovenia.

Triglav Mountain

Slovenia is home to a single national park called Triglav, and you shouldn’t miss it for the world if you’re a nature lover exploring this country. In addition to being home to the highest peak of the Julian Alps, this scenic spot is worth visiting for Triglav Glacier and the historic Aljaž Tower.

Lake Bled

One of the most Instagram-friendly spots in this corner of the world, Lake Bled is constantly featured on travel-themed pages. Its scenic location within mountains and forest and a tiny historic church you can access by boat make it one of the most picturesque lakes you’ll ever see.

Postojna Cave

Most people start their trip through Slovenia from its capital of Ljubljana, and you can take many amazing day trips during your visit thanks to its relatively small size. Postojna Cave is a popular day-trip destination, and its karst formations that look just like melted wax will leave you speechless.
