Slovenia
Julian AlpsNamed after the country’s highest mountain, the Triglav National Park in north-west Slovenia is characterised by ravines, green valleys, fast-flowing rivers and lush meadows, all framed by majestic peaks which soar to heights of over 2,000 metres. One of the jewels of the Park is the glacial lake of Bohinj, an idyllic spot which deservedly attracts walkers, mountain bikers, fishing enthusiasts and canoeists, who come to enjoy the great outdoors. > Milena's House Apartments, Julian Alps (sleep 2-4)

Bordered by Italy, Austria and Croatia, Slovenia is a revelation, so beautiful, so traditional and truly distinctive. Small and compact, it nonetheless combines both Alpine and Mediterranean landscapes to make it all the more alluring. In the north, the Julian Alps, so clearly related to Italy’s Dolomites, are renowned for their rugged beauty. They form an astonishing backdrop to the pretty villages scattered along vivid green valleys watered by crystal-clear streams and trout-filled rivers. As you walk and explore these deeply rural landscapes, you will see people cutting meadows by hand, and will be enchanted by the kozolec - the wooden hayracks for drying wheat and hay - and the kranji beehives, with their colourfully painted panels and drawers.
