Even though Slovenia is small
there are a lot of things we can be proud of. We have a coastline, mountains,
caves and many other landmarks. We can also be proud of the world’s oldest
human fish and grape wine.
Slovenia also offers a lot of
attractions, but there are too many so I will just describe my favorites.
1. 1. FESTIVAL LENT
If you are visiting Slovenia in June you cannot miss Slovenia’s
biggest festival in my home town Maribor. It lasts for two weeks and every year
not only regional artist perform but also international. It offers a variety of
shows, from theatre, dance shows and folklore to workshops for children. The
main attraction of the entire festival is probably the firework at the beginning
and at the end of the festival. It is the place where people go not only to enjoy
the shows but also to get together with friends over a drink or food from one
of many different restaurants.
2. 2. POSTOJNA CAVE
As I mentioned before there are a
lot of caves in Slovenia, but probably the most famous one is the Postojna
cave. Through the whole cave system rails are laid and you can take a tour in
different languages. It is also the home of the world’s oldest human fish which
is also the main attraction.
3. 3. LIPICA
Lipica is a village in Slovenia
and it is most famous for the Lipicanes horses. It is a stud farm and breeds
the finest riding horses. The name Lipica comes from the tree Lipa (Linden
tree), which is very common in that area and also a national symbol of
Slovenia. Every year the Lipica Open takes place which is a orienteering
competition.
These are just a few of many
beautiful attractions Slovenia has to offer. Of course there are many more and
if you decide to visit Slovenia you can visit many of them in just a few days
and you get to try the excellent Slovenian cuisine.
