Slovenian Impressions. Mysterious Karst.
Stone landscapes exist all over the world, but the Karst is unique. Postojna Cave is the largest and the most visited karst cave in Europe. A special train has been carrying tourists since 1818. On the arch in front of the high rock wall, behind which several levels of karst tunnels hide, is Predjama Castle.
The Karst is the region in south-western Slovenia, where vineyards grow on limestone soil and give birth to teran wine. This is where the Lipizzaner horses from the oldest stud farm graze. Not far away are the Škocjan Caves that hide the largest underwater canyon in Europe andare on the UNESCO world heritage list.
Cerknica Lake, the largest Slovenian lake, covers 26km2. However, it can be seen only during one part of the year, when underground water fills the green karst field. Go deeper, discover misteries of the Slovenian Karst.
Radovljica
Medieval town of Radovljica is the one of the most beautiful Slovenian towns. It's perfect location at the entrance to the Julian Alps and only 10 minutes drive from world famous Lake Bled make it a perfect stop on your way through Slovenia.

Steam in Slovenia – Nova Gorica to Jesenice – cab, passenger and forward views
After a tasty dinner at a local restaurant our group made their way back to Nova Gorica station where the TranAlpina train headed by Class 33 steam locomotive No. SŽ 33-037 was simmering at the head of a beautifully preserved rake of vintage four wheel carriages. The driver made a spirited departure as we headed for Jesenice along one of the most scenic lines in Europe. The ride in the four wheeled carriages was decidedly lively at speed, creating some pretty challenging conditions for photographers. This is one of those routes that is well worth following with “Google Earth”, to get a better idea of the succession of dams and the depth of the gorges the train traverses. At Bled Jezero I take the camera into the locomotive cab where we can see just how tough the job of driving and firing the engine really is, especially in long tunnels. Finally we draw into Jesenice where the sun is setting on what had been a remarkable day. This is one of just a hand full of scheduled steam hauled trains still operated in Europe offering a totally authentic glimpse of how it used to be. A ticket to ride this train has to be the highlight of any visit to this wonderfully scenic part of the world.

From Wikipedia
Koper (Slovene pronunciation: [ˈkoːpəɾ] (listen)) (Italian: Capodistria, Croatian: Kopar) is the fifth largest city in Slovenia. Located in the southwestern part of the country, approximately five kilometres south of the border with Italy and 20 kilometers from Trieste, Koper is the largest coastal city in the country. It is bordered by the satellite towns of Izola and Ankaran, and anchors[clarification needed] the Istrian region. With a unique ecology and biodiversity, it is considered an important national natural resource. It is the oldest recorded urban settlement in Slovenia.[not in citation given The city's Port of Koper is the major contributor to the economy of the eponymous city municipality. With only one percent of Slovenia having a coastline, the influence that the Port of Koper also has on tourism was a factor in Ankaran deciding to leave the municipality in a referendum in 2011 to establish its own. The city is a destination on a number of Mediterranean cruising lines. In 2016, the city expects 65 cruise ship arrivals (for example: Norwegian Spirit, MSC Magnifica, Norwegian Jade, MS Rhapsody of the Seas...) with the season spanning from March to December. Koper is the main urban centre of the Slovenian Istria, with a population of about 25,000.
The city of Koper is officially bilingual, with both Slovene and Italian as official languages. Sights in Koper include the 15th-century Praetorian Palace and Loggia in Venetian Gothic style, the 12th-century Carmine Rotunda church, and St. Nazarius' Cathedral, with its 14th-century tower.
Koper is also one of the main road entry points into Slovenia from Italy, which lies to the north of the municipality. The main motorway crossing is at Spodnje Škofije to the north of the city of Koper. The motorway continues into Rabuiese and Trieste. Koper also has a rail connection with the capital city, Ljubljana. On the coast, there is a crossing at Lazaret into Lazaretto in Muggia municipality in Trieste province. The Italian border crossing is known as San Bartolomeo.
The Italian name of the city was anciently spelled as Capo d'Istria, and as such reported on maps and sources in other European languages. Modern names of the city include: Croatian: Kopar,
Koper developed from an ancient settlement built on an island in the southeastern part of the Gulf of Koper in the northern Adriatic. In Ancient Greek, the town was known as Aegida (Goat Town). Later it became known by the Latin names of Capris (Greek Copros), Caprea, Capre, or Caprista, from which the modern Slovenian name stems.
In 568, Roman citizens of nearby Tergeste (modern Trieste) fled to Capris due to an invasion of the Lombards. In honour of the Byzantine emperor Justinian II, the town was renamed Justinopolis. Later, Justinopolis was under both Lombard and Frankish rule and was briefly occupied by Avars in the 8th century.
Since the 8th century, possibly even since the 6th century, Koper was the seat of a diocese. One of Koper's bishops was the Lutheran reformer Pier Paolo Vergerio. In 1828, it was merged into the diocese of Trieste.
Trade between Koper and Venice has been recorded since 932. In the war between Venice and the Holy Roman Empire, Koper was on the German side, and as a result was awarded with town rights, granted in 1035 by Emperor Conrad II. After 1232, Koper was under the Patriarch of Aquileia, and in 1278 it joined the Republic of Venice. It was at this time that the city walls and towers were partly demolished.
In 1420, the Patriarch of Aquileia ceded his remaining possessions in Istria to the Republic, consolidating Venetian power in Koper.
Koper grew to become the capital of Venetian Istria and was renamed Caput Histriae 'head of Istria' (from which stems its modern Italian name, Capodistria).
The 16th century saw the population of Koper fall drastically, from its high of between 10,000 and 12,000 inhabitants, due to repeated plague epidemics.[6] When Trieste became a free port in 1719, Koper lost its monopoly on trade, and its importance diminished further.
According to the 1900 census, 7,205 Italian, 391 Slovenian, 167 Croatian, and 67 German inhabitants lived in Koper.
Assigned to Italy after World War I, at the end of World War II it was part of the Zone B of the Free Territory of Trieste, controlled by Yugoslavia. Most of the Italian inhabitants left the city by 1954, when the Free Territory of Trieste formally ceased to exist and Zone B became part of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 1977, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Koper was separated from the Diocese of Trieste.

Stunning Soča River in Slovenia
Have you ever seen a river this colour... in real life?! Soča river runs south from Bovec through Tolmin and Most na Soči which is where I took a day trip by train (5.18€ return takes 30 minutes), from Bohinj Bistrica. Many locals recommended this river as a must-see and now I know why, it's stunning!
The towns themselves are pretty quiet, but there's the perfect mix of cafes and nature to keep any hiking fan satisfied. Plus those yellow benches - I'm in heaven!
I walked from Most na Soci to Tolmin (5.5km) which took just over an hour, but it's a beautiful walk along the river (apart from the road part as you're leaving town). The bus from Tolmin back to Most na Soci cost 1.80€.

KRAS (Slovenia) ► promotional video
The Karst is a limestone plateau in the south-west of Slovenia, surrounded by the Bay of Trieste, the Vipava Valley, Brkini, Pivka and Slovene Istria. For thousands of years the Karst has been drawing people who love natural and cultural beauty and enjoy discovering the interesting characteristics of the karstic world.
What gives the Karst its special characteristic is the combination of the Continental climate of central Slovenia and the mild submediterranean climate of the Northern Adriatic. The Karst is known not only for its Teran wine, Pršut ham and the bora wind (burja) but also by its mysterious underground world with its numerous caves. Natural and cultural heritage can be discovered by walking in the Karst countryside through pastures, sinkholes, abandoned waterholes and by the burja shaped trees where footpaths will lead you to villages with preserved typical Karst architecture and local people who have been creating and shaping life in this specific area since time began. Visiting the Karst is a special experience in every season. In autumn, a plant called Ruj (Cotinus Coggygria) and the vineyard's multicoloured leaves make the landscape appear to »burn« red.
The Karst offers both rich natural and cultural heritage. These include numerous karstic features along with the living environment, villages, pastures, vineyards, enclosures, stone vernacular architecture, waterholes and wells, as well as tranquility and relaxation either in wine cellars or in one of the many touristic farms, restaurants and osmicas (see vocabulary) where you will enjoy sampling various local gastronomy and wines which will be kindly served to you by the hospitable local people.

Qui troverete tantissimi sentieri che vi porteranno ai villaggi, alle case costruite in pietra e alle persone del posto che gia dai tempi lontani nel tempo creano la vita su questo territorio. La visita al Carso e un'esperienza particolare in ogni stagione, in autunno peró l'altiplano carsico e il piu bello siccome splende in un colore rosso di scodano e nei tanti colori del fogliame della vite, il che da al Carso un fascino particolare.
