It is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the country, especially after rain or snowmelt. It lies near Bovec, and a short uphill path leads to a viewpoint above the falls.
Gewerkenegg Castle is a castle in the town of Idrija, in the Goriška region of western Slovenia. Its history is tied to the town's long mercury-mining past, and today it houses the Idrija municipal museum. It stands in the centre of Idrija, so a visit fits easily into a walk around the old mining town.
Jablje Castle is a historic manor-type castle standing in the countryside of the Mengeš municipality, north of Ljubljana. It is a quiet stop for those interested in the old noble residences of central Slovenia. The castle lies in the Osrednjeslovenska region, an easy short trip from Mengeš or Domžale, and is best combined with a walk through the surrounding fields and villages.
Wild Lake (Divje jezero) is a small lake fed by a karst spring that rises from a deep underwater shaft at the foot of a steep forested cliff. After heavy rain the water can surge up and spill into the short Jezernica stream, one of the shortest rivers in Slovenia. It lies just outside Idrija in western Slovenia and is reached by an easy walk.
Koseze Pond (Koseški bajer) is a small body of water in the Koseze district on the western edge of Ljubljana, in central Slovenia. It is a quiet spot for a short, easy walk around the shore, close to the city's residential neighbourhoods. It works well as a brief stop when combined with walks in the nearby green areas on Ljubljana's western side.
Bokalce Castle is a historic manor building on the western edge of Ljubljana, in the Osrednjeslovenska region. It is a small stop for those interested in the old estates that once surrounded the capital. The castle lies within the city, so it is easy to combine with a walk or bike ride through Ljubljana's outskirts.
The Great Paradana Ice Cave is a cave on the Trnovo Forest plateau in the Goriška region, above the Vipava Valley. As an ice cave, it holds snow and ice through much of the year, which makes it an interesting stop for those exploring the karst landscape of the plateau. The area is reached by forest roads and trails, so plan it as a walk in wooded upland terrain.
Tivoli Castle, originally known as Podturn Manor, is a historic mansion in Tivoli Park on the western edge of central Ljubljana. It is a pleasant stop on a walk through the city's largest park, combining architecture with green surroundings. The castle is easy to reach on foot from the city centre, making it a short and level outing.
