Ljubljana City Add-On

We thoroughly reccommend the 11 day holiday for the variety of landscapes walked through. You provide a good mix of varied accommodation, and all included meals were excellent.

We tried as many of the local and other Slovenian wines as we could, which were all very drinkable.

At Martinov Hram in Bovec, and Rozic Penzion in Ribcev Laz we had excellent local meals, reasonably priced.

We were pleased to travel by train and therefore avoid flying. Inntravel staff were helpful and knowledgeable about rail options. We had three great centres for walking combining lakes and mountains - look out for the great mountain hut inns serving lovely cakes and dumplings. We added on two days in Ljubljana which we highly recommend, especially lunch at Barbarella (vegan), Tivoli gardens and the Museum of Modern Art. Apart from Ljubljana we found that many of the small shops and cafes only accepted cash. We were made to feel welcome everywhere and everyone speaks great English. 

Slovenia is a hidden gem and I do not think there is a better way to explore it's natural wonders than through walking The Soca Valley and Lakes and Julian Alps.  Beginning with Ljublljana is a must, as it is without doubt a beautiful city, no cars allowed in the old city and full of restaurants and atmosphere.  From beginning to end, Slovenia was totally relaxing and peaceful, a 'green' paradise with so much to explore, a wonderful surprise if you value the outdoors!

Slovenia is a beautiful and friendly country.  We enjoyed walks through rural villages full of traditional houses, barns, flowers, and gardens; we enjoyed walks through limestone gorges with rushing water and beside very blue lakes; we enjoyed walks with high mountain peaks and forests all around. Everywhere there were wildflowers! The loop from Kranjska Gora via Koca v Krnici, the transit hike from Kranjska Gora into Ribcev Laz, and the Mostnica Gorge hike stand our for us. The Add-on of Ljubljana at the beginning of the holiday was well worth the extra days, as were the extra days added in Ribcev Laz and Bled.  We appreciated having 3 days in each location.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lakes and Julian Alps in Slovenia. The destination was wonderful and the people very friendly and relaxed. We did 6 days of walking back-to-back and probably should have taken an extra day somewhere to break it up - we were very weary by the end.

Definitely recommend the add-on of Ljubljana - castle, visit, riverboat trip and wine-tasting all absolute musts!

HIGHLIGHTS: Very good evening meals in relaxing surroundings at Restaurant Lipa in Kranjska Gora. The walk round the northern shoreline of Lake Bohinj from Ribcev Laz to Ukanc and the return by boat. A glass or two of wine sitting on the terrace of Hotel Vila Bled overlooking the lake with its castle and the island. In Ljubljana, our stay at the Pension Slamic, in particular our musical evening there and our leisurely strolls around the streets of the old city down by the river.

HIGHLIGHTS: After a cold and soggy day cycling through beautiful Triglav park we came across an oasis, Farm Psnak serving Jota and pancakes to die for. The Michelin meal at Hisa Linhart was bursting with flavours. The unexpected delight of "Wednesday night fever" at Slamic was a bonus to an already brilliant holiday.

In every case, the hotels were within easy walking distance of the most interesting part of the city and most of the attractions.

This holiday exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed relaxing and interesting walks in this beautiful, diverse and unspoilt country. Planning and organisation through the Soca Valley and in the Lakes and Julian Alps was excellent. The bonus was the plethora of wild spring flowers everywhere. We were so pleased to have experienced Ljubljana at the end - it was the icing on the cake.

Yet another wonderful holiday with Inntravel. Solvenia is such a beautiful country and so green, with superb scenery. It also struck me as to how clean it is - saw absolutely no rubbish lying around and hardly a rubbish bin anywhere - the locals are taught to take their rubbish home. The walking routes were amazing and I couldn't get over all the wild flowers in some of the mountain meadows - especially the Primula candleabra and the Helleborus around Kranjsa Gora - so beautiful. In particular I really enjoyed the walk from Ribcev Laz to Slap Savic and from Ribcev Laz to Bled. Bled is so beautiful and it is so worth while upgrading to Vila Bled - what a setting. I had a lovely meal in Restaurant Sova Bled - ate upstairs with great views out over the Lake - great atmosphere. I imagine that Bled will get very busy in high season. The hotels were all very welcoming but I would recommend in the evening eating out when staying at the Hotel Jerezo. To round my holiday off I spent 2 nights in Ljubljana. Such a lovely capital and so beautiful with the river running through the centre. You could sit for hours with a coffee or drink in one of the many outdoor cafes and just watch the world go by. Hope to return to Slovenia sometime in the not too distant future to see more of this stunning country. Thank you again Inntravel for another great holiday - travelling by myself I have so much confidence in the way you organise your holidays. Your instructions are excellent and all the information you give is what is required to go towards an amazing experience - thank you.
