Called "the emerald of Europe" for the predominant colour of its landscape, Slovenia extends between the Alps, the Mediterranean sea and the plain of Pannonia. It boasts all the beauties of the old continent and offers to the visitor everything he can require: mountains, spectacular Karst caves, modern thermal complexes, city for all the tastes, from gorgeous metropolis to small historical and art cities, from villages of fishermen to splendid castles and medieval dwellings.

 

Very suggestive the only National park, the Tricorno (Triglav), where all the mountain sports are practiced in summer and winter. A stones throw from the park there is the important tourist centre of Bled, facing the banks of the homonymous lake with the delicious small island in the centre.

 

About natural landscapes, although wide less than fifty kilometres, also the Slovenian coast is well-known: next to Strugnano grows a thick vegetation and has been founded a Natural Reserve to protect the only cliff that rises 80 meters on the sea and is the tallest wall of flysch of the whole Adriatic coast. In this area stand also the Salt pans of Spicciole, already mentioned in the XII century and declared Natural Park in 1989 for the importance of the naturalistic patrimony; the particular habitat of the salt pans is in fact rich of flora and fauna, very important from the point of view of ornithology, because here  birds find a warm climate and abundant food, ideal conditions for their survival. Today there are over 200 species, 80 of them regularly nest here.

 

The thin costal area between Italy and Croatia is also well-known for the delicious towns that hosts, where the austere medieval aspect discloses the unmistakable Venetian influence and where the pleasant family atmosphere characterized the suburbs of fishermen: Pirano and Isola.

 

On the coast, very ancient but by a modern aspect it is Capodistria; it is one of the main port of the Adriatic sea and in its gulf numerous sail regattas are disputed. In summer is organized the Festival estivo del Litorale. Also the outskirts and the country are really beautiful: on the walls of the precipice near Črni Kal and to Osp, free climbing lovers will have satisfied, while the country excels for the specific offer of wine and gastronomy.

 

The long tourist tradition of Portorose is linked to the presence of the numerous casinos, frequented by tourists of all Europe, and to the good offer of hotels and restaurants. In its close hinterland there are ancient and interesting villages, among which the picturesque town of Cristoglie (Hrastovlje) with its famous frescos undoubtedly deserves a visit.

Very interesting also the gastronomic offer, in the elegant restaurants of the coast or the cities but also in the characteristic osmice, local version of the osmize of Trieste.

 

People who loves comfort and fitness will finally find an offer of high-level in the large number of thermal centres.
