Slovenia – herbal paradise
Slovenia is the green heart of Europe. It’s difficult to find such a small region offering so much anywhere else in the world. Four different worlds are combined into a magnificent symphony that can be felt in culture, gastronomy and natural wonders. Whether you enjoy walking well-trodden paths or prefer to turn off the beaten track, you will find stunning beauty and boutique experiences tailored just for you everywhere you go.
Nature has generously bestowed Slovenia with the beauty of natural scenery. The diverse green landscape is mostly overgrown with forest, intertwined with water resources, and stretches between 0 and 2,864 meters above sea level.
Everywhere you look in Slovenia, you will be surrounded by the colour green. Slovenia is the third most forested country in Europe, and rich in natural resources. The diverse landscape extends between Alpine two-thousanders and the sea coast, the Pannonian part is rich in thermal springs, and vineyards thrive in sunny parts of the hills in several parts of the country. There is also a branched karst underground with its wonders.
Slovenia is one of the most water-rich countries in Europe. It has 27,000 km of watercourses, around 300 waterfalls and numerous natural and artificial lakes. On a walk through forests and hilly areas you can come across crystal-clear springs with water, which is typically so clean that you can also drink it. Proof of the importance of clean water in Slovenia can be seen in the fact that the right to drinking water is even enshrined in our constitution.
