Slovenia Travel: The Best 10 Day Roadtrip

- This is the story of my 10 day roadtrip through a country I never thought I’d visit, but could not be more happy that I did.
Slovenia is one of Europe's most underrated travel destinations. It's full of diverse landscapes and fairytale-like places. I spent 10 days driving around the country and seeing as much as I could.

Če je kdo iz Slovenije bo vedel, da sem zdaj ponosen!
Love from Slovenia 🥳
A sm edini k prvič slišim za "Dornberk"
Jst sm tud ponosen.
@@alengrm7488 ne nisi edini 😂
@carlo negri what's wrong with you?
@carlo negri , you are from Calabria or Sicilia = Afrika
Slovenia has it all
Finally! An informative video without unnecessary jump cuts. Your video was really enjoyable to watch and now I know there’s way more to Slovenia than just Lake Bled
Be careful when going to the mountains with no gear and/or experience.
TheArathor and alone(especially on these empty looking trails).
S G May I know the reason please I’m planning to go there in May
@@livingthemoment6348 Shoes are the most important, the clothes are multilayered resistant to rain and wind. In the mountains, the weather changes in an instant. Mountain Rescue Telephone 112. For more information en.pzs.si/vsebina.php?pid=239
@@livingthemoment6348 If you have no mountaineering experience you should avoid hiking in snow. There might be snow at higher altitudes in May. The weather can be very unpredictable the higher you go. Just assume there is still winter in the mountains in May. You need good boots and extra clothes in case it gets cold and windy. Also, if you really have no experience with mountains I would suggest not going above 1700m. And if you need to find a trail visit www.hiking-trail.net/. Go to list of mountains - Julian Alps - choose a mountain and check the trails and the difficulty. Everything that's not an easy way means you have to use your hands.
Anže Lavrač thanks mate. I canceled my Europe trip this year due to Covid19. I’ll make sure to follow your information and do more research and be prepare when I’m traveling there. Thanks again.
Hi, there is this great line in the movie Indiana Jones 3: "You chose wisely". Thank you for visiting our beautiful country! Greetings from Slovenia and come back soon, there much more to see!
Yea but with better shoes for mountains and snow..😉
My wife and I really enjoyed your video Maegan. We spent 19 days in and around Slovenia during the summer of 2019. We loved every minute. We are in our mid 60's so did not get to do all your fun hikes but what a gorgeous country. The people are fantastic and so friendly. Slovenia is a well kept secret. We will be back soon!!
Thanks so much! Totally agree, loved every minute of this trip and hope to be back someday soon.
Looks like such a beautiful place and the people seem so friendly
The most beautiful country my country and it was its birthday yesterday. I was nearly crying to see someone enyoing it that much
I was there in Slovenia 🇸🇮 in late June and one thing that people should be aware of is that if you want to see waterfalls there, you have to trek for a mile or more to see it. It’s not like in America 🇺🇸 or Iceland 🇮🇸 where you can drive to a car park and the waterfall is in front of you. No you have to move your ass to see one
I live in slovenia and I have to say that I really like the video. For the next visit to Slovenia, don't forget Lendava, the oldest Slovenian town of Ptuj, the old karst town of Štanjel and many more.
Just booked a trip in May. I went to the metal festival near Tolmin way back and have been waiting for a chance to visit properly ever since. Cannot wait! And I've added those places to my list to check out! Anywhere else you'd really recommend?
@@fatmikecj Recommended visit to the Tolmin Gorges, Kobarid, Kozjak Waterfall, Kluže Fortress and Herman. You also have some of these points on my CZcams channel.
Gregor Krašnja Hi! What cities do you recommend with beaches in Slovenia? Or with summer friendly activities. Thanks in advance :)
@@whitneyosegie1418 Hi! Slovenia has very little coastline, only 45km. Za pogledat si je staro mesto Piran in Koper. I would also visit the Soča Valley, Bovec, Kobarid ... How long would you be in Slovenia?
We‘ll come visit in 2022 with our two little kids. Any advise where to go and hike with children?
Thank you for a nicely informative video. I'll be in Slovenia in May for about 2 weeks and it was great to see the landscape. But girl next time better shoes for the Alpine trails!
Bruh, the walking through snow in sneakers and no jacket or boots got me
Slovenia is amazing❤
Do not wisit the Alps withouth proper equipment (footwear, clothes etc.)! In fact the mountain police could have sent you back downhill, if they saw you so ill prepared. The majority of all accidents happens because of poor equipment and people not beind aware of the dangers of the alpine envirenment. Dozents of people die every year here, so do not underastimate the Alps. Glad you had fun thow. :-)
I like to watch these videos by people from way bigger countries and watch them get blown away by our country.
Slovenia ✌️🇸🇮
Thank you for your honest sharing. So lovely wievs! We all learn from experiance what to make different. Slovenia is in the checklist now! 💛
You made one of the most popular Slovenia videos. Well done!
I can't wait to go there. I booked a trip this September. The landscape looks amazing!
i can feel that grass on pastures
Nice video.. God bless always..
From the 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Wow, so Beautiful
SLOVENIA 🇸🇮 WILL ALLWAYS STAY IN YOUR ❤
Slovenia is wonderful country !
Slovenia has it all !
I am happy to see how visitors are seeing Slovenia and I am glad you like it. Happy seeing, you went fine with the mountains, but it was pretty bold move with sneakers in snow. You should always head to mountains with suitable footwear and clothes, otherwise you are putting yourself in life threatening danger.
Planning a road trip around Europe for april/may. Was trying to make up my mind about whether to include Slovenia, this has just convinced me :)
SLOVENIJA is WONDERFUL ❤️🇸🇮👍👏
omg with sneakers in the mountains..
People that wear hiking shoes get blisters, people that wear trainers do not.
@@PlumbNutz People with sneakers in the mountain are also often carried down to the valley in the stretchers. Most common reason for hiking accidents in Slovenian mountains is inadequate equipment. Just ask any mountain rescue crew.
it is dangerous but i once climbed 1000m mountain in flip flops xD
Well done video! I agree with you completely. So much so that I moved here to enjoy it! Thanks for the video.
So happy you like our small little country 🇸🇮💚
Hi there...I'm looking forward to be there these few weeks time...what a beautiful country...
very beautiful & good crafted video! :) Slovenia is breathtaking. Can't wait to go back in a few months!
Nice video with music you can listen to.
SLOVENIJA ❤️🇸🇮👍👏
Fantastic scenery in nature 😘
you are so adventures and brave, just keep it up, tnx for the clip
Thanks, glad you liked it
Hi Maegan, I am Slovenian, living in Doha :D glad you enjoyed it.
So many tourists in Slovenia miss out on a lot bc they only visit the west/northwest of the country! Other parts of Slovenia are just as beautiful + much less touristy. I loved the video, hope you visit again and explore the east and south!! xx
I agree! I‘m currently in the east and oh my, its stunning
Prav maš
what would you recommend to visit in the east of the country?
@@zsonglormananywhere! Every little town has its castle, wineyards are everywhere except the Alpine region, there are at least 15 spas around the country and so much more. But it all depends on your wishes and the time you're spending here.
Lovely video well made very professionally done nice music too, thumbs up.
thank you🙏 for sharing mlso🇶🇦👍
love living in this country ❤️
I am an Indian, now in Slovenia and doing travel vlogs
congrats for very good video
Very nice video , thank you ! I see you were already told , out mountains are very dangerous ... sadly alot of people die. Ur mistake is forgiven due to quality of the video tho , just amazing . Intro almost made me cry for some reason . :) happy you liked it ! come back tho alot more to see :)
The sneakers in the mountains lol :) really beautifup footage tho!
Szeretlek Szlovénia!!!
lovely video !
Great video! You've convinced me! Booking a flight to Slovenia for January!
That's awesome! But I hope you are aware Slovenia won't be nearly as green in winter as in this video that was shot in early summer. Winters in Slovenia are cold, often rainy, especially in the mountainous areas. It is still pretty, especially if there is a snowfall, then it will be a picturesque winter fairytale. But if you are expecting green scenery in January then you might be disappointed.
@@Bluyless thanks for the heads up! I'm aware of this. I prefer traveling to Europe in January/February because the crowds are down and I don't mind rain one bit (I'm from the Pacific Northwest of the United States. It rains a lot here!) I'm definitely hoping for a winter wonderland, but if it's raining and overcast, that's A ok with me! I'll find joy and adventure no matter what! Thanks for reaching out! Cheers!
You Will not see snow in the touristy parts trust me
@@noidea4479 it snows around Bled all the time
Glad you enjoyed it.
Welcome to come again :)
nice to see how u enjoy our country :)
i'm planning to do a road trip in slovenia with some friends; thx for the vids; we 'll put this on the list :) i have dreamt on this country since some years now, can't w8 to be in september for going there :)
Beautiful Slovenia.... Luv This..
Many thanks!
Amazing video =)
Great footage!!!
Yes, an awesome country, glad it was my last destination before the damn pandemic.
Bled cake is lovely 👌
The water is beautiful.
I do wonder why Melania Trump is so ashamed to originate from such a beautiful country???
You had a great time & thanks for sharing the memories & bringing back many of my own.....
Because she fu*cked her way up and is not really appreciated back home for that. And because she was telling lies about Slovenia for the campaign reasons...
Well done...thanks! That does it...goin' to Slovenia....
great video ... if you ever want to go to slovenia, I'm glad to see you in other places in slovenia
Nice video!
I am from slovenia celje i love thet we can drink water from the sink
Send me a cell number
Plss
Hello.... From Sl.Konjice
Bro who u lying to
@@nikaa2282 lol I am not
Hello! I loved your video. You obviously spent so much time researching and crafting a lovely travel story to tell. Thank you! Would you mind sharing where you were in Dornberk? I am looking to travel to Slovenia in September and would love to experience that in particular. : )
Hey, Lovely video - loved the captures and details. Slovenia does seem like a true gem. We are headed there next week, and if you could help with 2 things - would be great; 1. The viewpoint of Bled - do you remember the name or any location of the viewpoint? Also, the second hike-easy one - was that a known hike / marked trail? Thanks a lot.
don't worry,all trails are well marked...
It is beautiful video.
keep enjoying
Its beautiful
10 day trip of western slovenia which better than eastern but still :D
Seems fammiliar
Pozdrav iz Slovenije!
Green emerald
Thanks! You did a great job!
I think you are a time lapse expert V Nice video
How dod you get up to the mountain full of snow.amazing video.thanks
Next time you should visit the town where the best beer has been brewed since 1825, you won't regret it!
👋👍
Thank you!
jou you were in my city dornberk
hey Maegan loved your video. please do visit pakistan i would love to welcome u. love from pakistan
Who the fuck would want or even consider to travel to a country like pakistan??? And why??
@@dejans2631 you are so rude.
Krain and Styria was 700 years a nice part of Austria 😍
Great Video.Tho i am surprised you did not visit Kransjka- Gora Planica and Ratece.
BRAVOOO.GREAT VIDEO
Very nice video , please what is the name of the area which you did the hike at 11:30 minutes in the video , thanks
Hi, could you please tell me the name of the last hike you did?
Man, I wish I could hike that but that's not likely for me. I have MS and it doesn't take long until my left leg gets weak.
🇸🇮❤
I really loved you video, very informative. What camera do you use for filming?
Thanks! I mostly used my Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone with a DJI Osmo Mobile gimbal for the smooth shots.
Hi Maegan, cool video. My girl and I are planning to visit Slovenia as well coming summer (if the COVID situation allows us to travel). We're planning to fly to Ljubljana and then rent a car. I was wondering with what company you rented a car and how easy it was, if you had any hick-ups, how the roads are...? Thanks!
Hi! I'm also planning a road trip through Slovenia. Do you have any recommendations on where to rent a car?
excellent video
You have mad cinematic skills. So proud of you doing all this by yourself. 2 things: first, in my opinion, a little too much music. I wanted to experience the raft ride but the music made my eyes bleed. Silence is ok. Lastly, please send me a post card next time. Great video. Also I would have liked to know some prices
Could you tell more about the hikes? Are they easy to find?
Yes, hikes are generally quite well markated.
Do you think that Ljubljana would be a good base if you're in Slovenia for 1 week? Im going there in September but I don't have a driver's license yet so I'll have to use public transport. I really want to go on hikes in nature.
great vid hope you do lots more, I was wonder the name the river song? on day six it very nice, river going to cry?
Loving Calibre - Rivers gonna cry when you're gone
It is very convenient to raise small animals here.
Yes, people in the countryside still raise chicken, ducks, hares etc.
Love your video! How was the difficulty driving around the country?
In summer (rom june to september) is a lot otraffic jams on the highways between ausria, Italy and Croatia. Especially in saturdays. You have to buy vignetta for highways. On local roads isn`t so messy, just around main turistic places like Bled or Ljubljana (capital city). Now it si a little snowy (about 5-10 cm). It is ski season. Now it is nice time to visit Postojna cave, the longest cave with train and electric lights through about 8 km (5 miles). Temperature is about 10 deegrees. As it is whole year. 🙂
Ponosni smo na svojo domovino... Praud on our country,,thank you..sLOVEenia
Hi, could you tell me please where exactly is that viewpoint in Triglav Park (day 6)? And where did you park your car and started trekking? Thanks
The trailhead is located at the top of Vrsic Pass opposite the main parking lot. Look for the large white sign with lots of stickers on it. There will be a sign post nearby with a red maker pointing towards Slemenova Špica.
Maegan where did you stay ? Hostels, hotels, home stays?
The places is stayed at were a mix of hostels and B&B's. I booked them all through AirBNB initially and payed the owner directly for a few more days.
How do you get to Europe from Qatar? That is, what route does the plane take? Iran and Turkey?
Yes exactly, most flights I've taken have gone over Iran/Iraq and Turkey.
there are direct flights from Quatar to Vienna, Austria and from there you can go by train to Slovenia. Before the pandemic there were direct flights to Zagreb, Croatia and from there by taxi or train to Slovenia. I am not sure about this one, you should check in with Quatar airways.
hey im from slovenia končno nas je negdo opazo
Jurij Trstenjak Ja končno!
What are the transportation method you used
Nice video! Thanks.
Could you tell me what month was it?
Thanks! This was June 2019.
Nice Vlog, We can go on a hike if you come again cuz i am making hiking Vlogs of Slovenia and we could do it together 😀
In Triglav park in sneakers thats not a good idea
