    A thing about recycling: it's actually mandatory to recycle in Slovenia. We even have inspectors checking our garbage to make sure we seperate our trash and you get quite a hefty fine if you don't do it correctly.

    Being slovenian is knowing you live in a small hidden paradise and wanting to share the experience, but still wanting it to stay kind of a secret. The issue is that the ever growing influx of tourists is getting prioritized by the government and companies, that are already trying to ruin the natural beauty by changing the land to build resorts or something. Also a lot of landlords now throw out students during summer to accomodate tourists, more and more apartments are becoming airbnb's, prices in bars get higher, ...

      I guarantee people would not agree with selling our natural water sources and government land, just to see a multinational company come and take it’s resources. That is, in my eyes one of the biggest crimes you can make, and the current ruling party is making this possible.
      And here I was, thinking we’re living in a democratic society. They all need to be locked up, especially Janez Janša, he needs to go back to jail, he hasn’t even finished his prison sentence yet.
      This is the TRUE current state of Slovenia. Greedy politicians ready to sell Slovenia’s greatest treasures.

    As a Slovenian expatriate who has lived abroad for almost 15 years, I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Your portrayal of Slovenia is exceptional and beautifully captures our country's essence. I especially laughed about the emphasis on our sense of pride! It couldn't be more accurate-funnily enough, I never noticed it was so strong until I moved abroad! And yes, we have been recycling for nearly 40 years! Ha ha. One additional aspect that holds great importance to us Slovenians is our cherished 47-kilometer coastline along the Adriatic Sea. It is so tiny, but Slovenians often bring this up in conversations.

    I have visited wonderful Slovenia twice. In addition to Lake Bled, visit Lake Bohinj. It is on the edge of the Julian Alps; so the close proximity was stunning! I was there in February 2007 and the winter scenery brought a haunting beauty to the landscape. Also, travel to the northeast of Slovenia and visit the town of Ptuj. Pronounced as if spitting tobacco: "Ptooey!" Their castle is more impressive than Ljubljana Castle. Ptuj Castle is home to five museums. The best is devoted to costumes for Kurentovanje: the Slovenian version of Mardi Gras. The food in the northeast has a Hungarian influence --- paprika!

    • @matejmahkovic
      @matejmahkovic 6 месяцев назад

      Those are some excellent recommendations. Too many tourists are just visiting Ljubljana, Postojna (cave and castle, not even the town), and Bled. In my opinion lake Bohinj is even more beautiful than Bled. And don't even think of skipping lake Jasna (in the furthermost of north-west of Slovenia), even the road to it is breathtaking. Of course like you said, Ptuj is a wonderful town, but I must insist that the tourists also visit the city of Maribor. Also Celje, Velenje and it's man made lake, Izola (maybe instead of Piran), and so on...

The first time I remember doing the same cave with the train (Postojna) and staying on the sea in Opatija. The second time we saw more, the cave castle (Predjama), Ljubljana and of course Lake Bled. I ended up saving money on food by eating at my hotel in Lake Bled rather than in the tourist places and it was still quite good.

But you are right about the cost, certainly have to prepare for the expense, was quite shocked! Came from Venice and Ljubljana was more expensive to eat out than Venice! But I did have the most incredible prawn pasta in my life in Ljubljana, it was unreal (but at Euro 40 it had to be!). Lake Bled and surrounds was incredible and I did not find it overpriced for the value provided in food and accommodation - Air BnB under Euro 100 per night. The Vintgar Gorge walk is an absolute must. Will definitely plan to visit again, I think two weeks with a rental car would be amazing.

Hahaha, well I really hope that was the best pasta of your life, because 40€ for a single dish is absolutely ridiculous. It seems you managed to find the single most expensive restaurant in the city. Even 30€ for the full meal (3 courses and a glass of wine) is kind of on the expensive side.

      It doesn't matter that much, though it's been my observation that Ljubljana looks fairly depressing in the winter (except in late December). The north of the country looks incredible in winter though.
      As for the weather, it can be very unstable in spring (one day might be hot and sunny and the next day it's snowing), meanwhile the summers are usually very hot, so I'd say June is probably the best. September and the first half of October generally have good weather too.

      Yeah... in recent years the weather has become completely unpredictable. 20C in November, 25C in February and March, 15 C in June and completely random rain in between. Still I would recommend something like very late September or early October, the weather stabilizes by then. Not too hot, not too cold, and the autumn is a sight to behold in Slovenia. Also if you are not that squeamish, you can still swim in the sea or lakes at that time.
