In under an hour‘s drive, day-trippers in Slovenia can be in the middle of the Triglav National Park with its spectacular views, Russian chapel, and imposing cliffs. A highlight is the drive along the old mountain road with around 50 hairpin bends up to the Vršič Pass. Back in the valley, you can visit the Planica ski jump and zipline or take a leisurely stroll through the enchanting winter sports resort of Kransjka Gora. Nature lovers will be amazed by the Jasna mountain lake or the Zelenci nature reserve with its spring. If you want to combine the road trip with a little city flair, you can be in Ljubljana in an hour and treat yourself to something refreshing in one of the cafés by the river.

Stone pine forests, peaks like gentle waves, rustic huts: In just an hour‘s drive, motorcyclists, convertible fans, and classic car enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the completely different world of the Nock Mountains. The landscape and panorama are unique in the Alps - and can be particularly enjoyable uphill and downhill along the Nockalm Road with its 52-hairpin bends. If you want to stretch your legs, hike around the mystical Windebensee lake or follow the Path of the Elements loop. The Nockalm Road is open from the beginning of May to the end of October.
