Located in central Europe, Slovenia has a lot to offer travelers that may not be evident by the fact that so few people think of visiting. With gorgeous nature, great food, and a rich culture, this country is definitely worth a few days of your time to visit and explore. Here are some reasons why.
The Caves
One of the most unique features of the Slovenian landscape is the caves, of which there are thousands hidden underground. Only 22 are open to the public but that is plenty to explore, with gorgeous natural karst formations and unusual “human fish” (the olm) all adding an allure.
The Water
Slovenia has a lot of mineral water which has healing benefits. It’s a great country to visit with the intention of relaxation and rejuvenation, with lots of different spas, pools, slides, and saunas promising an opportunity to unwind.
The Food
You may have never tried Slovenian food, but Slovenia has an incredible food culture, with both fine dining and traditional foods like kranjska klobasa (a type of sausage) and bograč (a type of stew) up for offer to visitors. Very welcoming, the locals love to invite travelers to try some traditional, homemade, local dishes.
