Slovenia - Skofja Loka and Kranj
Half a day stop in two Slovenian towns on the way to the airport. Well worth the visit.
You can catch a bus to Škofja Loka from Ljubljana. The oldest medieval town in Slovenia. From the bus stop take a walk over the 14th century Capuchin Bridge to the centre. Let yourself guided by the narrow streets. The 13th century Parish Church of St James is not to be missed as well.
From the same drop off point, there is another bus that goes to Kranj, the 4th biggest city of the country. Time only allowed me to go in the old town, but one can easily spend a full day here. Plenty of parks to explore, rich architecture and many restaurants to get a taste of Slovenian cuisine.
There is public transport connecting all these town, but even in summer they're quite rare so make sure to check the time table in advance. If you are in a rush a taxi might be a better option as the airport is quite close.
I hope this short video gave you a taste of Slovenia. Thanks for watching.

Travel Slovenia - Visiting the Annunciation Church in Ljubljana
Take a tour of Ljubljana Annunciation Church in Ljubljana, Slovenia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
This Franciscan church is the most prominent feature of Preseren Square in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Ljubljana Annunciation Church is topped with the town's most immense bronze statue of the Virgin Mary, and is one of the city's key churches.
This unusual salmon-colored church was built from 1646 to 1660, and was constructed on the same site as an older church.
Though the church's original frescoes were damaged in an earthquake, newer ones have replaced them.
Near to the Ljubljana Annunciation Church is an older Franciscan Monastery related to the church.
The church continues to hold Mass services and is also freely open to visitors.

Slovenia - a country worth seeing!
Besides visiting the most famous spots like a Ljubljana, Postojna caves, Maribor and Bled we went to many other places some more hidden than others. I think we enjoyed our time the most in Triglav National Park, Bled, Ljubljana, Piran and Bovec. In Bovec we went for canyoning which was probably the top of our trip.

Kranjska Gora - Slovenian Alps
Kranjska Gora and its superb natural surroundings simply drive the individual to reach beyond their self-prescribed limits of the possible. Its ski slopes host the world champions of today and tomorrow, whilst at Planica -- one of the most beautiful valleys in the Alps - one and two hundred-metre ski flights were recorded and a 250-metre flight is definitely within the reach.
Walls of Piran: incredible view from historical value

From Wikipedia
Idrija (pronounced [ˈiːdɾija] (listen), in older sources Zgornja Idrija;[2] German: (Ober)idria,[2][3] Italian: Idria) is a town in western Slovenia. It is the seat of the Municipality of Idrija. It is located in the traditional region of the Slovenian Littoral and is in the Gorizia Statistical Region. It is notable for its mercury mine with stores and infrastructure, as well as miners' living quarters, and a miners' theatre. Together with the Spanish mine at Almadén, it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2012.[4] In 2011, Idrija was given the Alpine Town of the Year award.
The town of Idrija lies in the Idrija Basin, surrounded by the Idrija Hills. It is traversed by the Idrijca River, which is joined there by Nikova Creek. It includes the hamlets of Brusovše, Cegovnica, Prenjuta, and Žabja Vas close to the town center, as well as the more outlying hamlets of Češnjice, Ljubevč, Kovačev Rovt, Marof, Mokraška Vas, Podroteja, Razpotje, Staje, and Zahoda. The Marof hydroelectric plant is located on the Idrijca River on the northern outskirts of Idrija, between Marof and Mokraška Vas.
Mercury was discovered in Idrija (known as Idria under Austrian rule) in the late 15th century (various sources cite 1490,[5][6][7] 1492,[8][9] and 1497[5][7]). Mining operations were taken over by the government in 1580. The mineral idrialite, discovered here in 1832, is named after the town.
According to legend, a bucket maker working in a local spring spotted a small amount of liquid mercury over 500 years ago. Idrija is one of the few places in the world where mercury occurs in both its elemental liquid state and as cinnabar (mercury sulfide) ore. The subterranean shaft mine entrance known as Anthony's Shaft (Antonijev rov) is used today for tours of the upper levels, complete with life-sized depictions of workers over the ages. The lower levels, which extend to almost 400 meters below the surface and are no longer being actively mined, are currently being cleaned up.
The parish church in the town is dedicated to Saint Joseph the Worker and belongs to the Diocese of Koper. There are three other churches in Idrija, dedicated to the Holy Trinity, Saint Anthony of Padua, and Our Lady of Sorrows.[10]
