Peričnik Waterfall is the most unique waterfall in Slovenia because not only does it have an incredible view, but you can also walk behind the waterfall and see it from a whole different angle.

Visiting Peričnik Waterfall is free but if you decide to use the parking in front, you will have to pay the parking fee. You can also hike from the city of Mojstrana - it is only a 2km walk in beautiful scenery.

Zelenci Nature Reserve is a hidden gem tucked away in the far northwestern corner of Slovenia, near the borders of Austria and Italy. This place is super special and it is really worth a stop!

Zelenci is actually the spring of the river Sava Dolinka. It is a thermal spring, which means it doesn't freeze even during the winter. You can visit Zelenci any time of the year because of that.

There is parking onsite and a small hut that serves coffee and food. You can also visit Zelenci with a bike from Kranjska Gora because this region is nicely connected through bike lanes.

Lago del Predil, also known as Lake Raibl, is a stunning glacial lake located in Italy, right across the border from Slovenia. It is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes around here and a perfect spot to visit during a summer day.

The best time to go to Predil is during the morning because it can get busy on hot summer days. You can swim in the lake but the water is freezing cold (for obvious reasons since it is an alpine lake).

Mangart Road is the highest mountain road in Slovenia. It provides incredible mountain views and will take you to the parking lot which is the starting point for a lot of the hikes around Mangart.

The Great Soča Gorge is a hidden gem nestled in the stunning Soča River Valley of Slovenia. This is one of the most beautiful spots along the valley, where the rocks form a narrow canyon.

This is a great spot to go swimming. A lot of people cliff-jump from the canyon but after the rocky part, there are many shallow pools that are perfect for kids to swim.

PS: The water of the river is cold all year round! Be ready for it if you want to swim.

It is very easily accessible since it is located right by the side of the road, which can be good and bad. This spot tends to get quite full during the summer so I recommend visiting early in the morning or during the shoulder months.

The Vršič Pass in Slovenia is a must-visit on any road trip. It is the highest mountain pass in Slovenia, reaching 1611 meters at the top. It is a very windy road with its 50 hairpin turns and stunning alpine scenery.

Built by Russian prisoners of war, the pass offers a thrilling drive with cobblestone switchbacks and breathtaking views.

Make sure to stop at the hut on the top of Vršič for the best views and to try some typical Slovenian dishes.

Lake Jasna is a stunningly beautiful alpine lake nestled in the Julian Alps near Kranjska Gora, Slovenia. It has crystal-clear waters and is surrounded by mountains, creating the most beautiful landscape.

Jasna is a hotspot during the summer as it is perfect for families. The lake is very shallow and there is a lot of natural shade in the area surrounding it. There is also a cafe by the lake.

You can also visit Lake Jasna during the winter for a completely different view, but equally impressive. During the winter, the cafe by the lake normally has outdoor tables with little heated iglus, it is a really romantic scenery!
