So this Whitsun break we travelled to a European country, which hoisted four different banners within the last 100 years (Hungarian-Austrian, Italian, German, Yugoslawian) before it finally, just 25 years ago, became Slovenia. The "green heart of Europe" comes up with alpine mountains (Karavankas), sea (Adriatic Coast), downs, woodlands and karst. All within just barely 7830 square miles!
Our first destination: the most impressive cave of Postojna - 9 miles (24 km) of underground passages, galleries and halls, a tourist attractions for more than 200 years now, seen by 36 million visitors and the only cave with an underground train. So exciting, so breathtaking!
