The Gorenska region
"Discover the unparalleled Beauty of Slovenia...."
On the Sunny Side of the Alps you will find the scenic beauty of Slovenia sandwiched between the Julian Alps and the Adriatic Sea. Previously part of Yugoslavia, it fought its way to independence in 1991and has prospered ever since. This cosmopolitan country is growing in stature as a ski destination and now boasts 26 ski resorts in its portfolio.
Noted for its natural beauty and friendly people, Slovenia is the undiscovered jewel of Eastern Europe. Drawing on Austrian and Hungarian influences for its Architecture and food, Slovenia offers a modern, service driven holiday, coupled with a healthy dash of history and culture.
Gorenska the most Alpine of all Slovenian regions is situated in the north-western part of the country, bordering Austria in the north and Italy in the west. Most of the region is covered by the towering Julian Alps with numerous serrated peaks exceeding 2 000 m, including Triglav (2 864 m), the highest Slovenian mountain and one of Slovenia's national symbols. Due to its natural beauty, almost the entire Julian Alps range is protected as the Triglav National Park.
Due to its higher altitudes, the region has a moderate alpine climate with the lowest average temperatures in Slovenia, while in lower parts of the region there is a sub-Mediterranean climate.
The Julian Alps and the beautiful Triglav National Park are the main features of the region – offering not just outstanding scenery, but a wealth of plant and animal life, and home to such wildlife as the lynx, wolf, and bear. An abundance of outdoor activities including hiking, skiing, ski-touring, white-water rafting and paragliding.
It is also home to the unforgettable lakes Bled and Bohinj. It is almost impossible to decide which one you prefer – Serene Bohinj and its majestic mountain setting or fairytale Bled with its seventeenth century church on an island overlooked by a castle perched on a rocky outcrop.
Slovenia offers the same high standards of accommodation as Andorra at the same prices as Bulgaria. You will find that food, drink and internal travel are about one-third of British prices. If you are looking for an up and coming ski destination, then Slovenia is it! You can get away from the crowds of the Alps and enjoy great skiing at a low cost.
Bled area
Slovenia's most beautiful and visited resort.
Slovenia's only has one island ,‘Maria of the Lake’ but this is more attractive than many archipelagos. It reigns in the middle of an Alpine lake, in a beautiful glacial valley, and embraced by a necklace of majestic peaks, and crowned by an idyllic baroque church. Its charm is an age-old symbol of a place which has been frequented by curious travellers for centuries.
Thousands of opportunities await cosmopolitan seekers of beauty, relaxation, inspiration, peace or sporting challenges. Romantic walks or a carriage ride around the lake, a traditional pletna-boat ride to the church on Bled Island and make that dream come true by ringing the wishing bell. Sample the delicious 'Kreme Schnitte', or cake slices available in many of the lakeside cafés, as you stroll around the beautiful shore. Horse drawn carriages are ready to take you to the imposing medieval 'Castle of Bishops', which towers on a sheer cliff above the lake, offering a fascinating museum and a terraced restaurant with breathtaking views– these are just a few of the attractions of Bled. Whoever experiences them, longs for them.
The unrivalled year-round range of outdoor activities offers something for everyone – from golf on one of the most scenic courses in Europe, within a 10 minute drive. http://www.golf.bled.si/ or hiking and rafting in the warmer months, to skiing and snowboarding in winter, and fishing considered to be one of the best in Europe http://www.ribiska-druzina-bled.si/eng/index.asp Bled is an ideal starting point to explore the unforgettable kaleidoscope of colours in the unspoilt Triglav National Park.
Sightseeing trips, i.e. Julian Alps, Ljubljana, Postojana Caves (3rd Largest in the World), Home of World famous Lipizzaner Horses at Lipica Horse Stud Farm, Sample Slovenia, and Venice.

'Thanks for the apartment in June in Bled, it was so central and convenient for transport and local activities. The apartment was very clean and fresh, and the local managers were very friendly with good English! I will definitely be going back, later on in the year,Thanks again, for helping me to have a cosy refuge to escape too.'
I just wanted to report back what a fabulous time we had in Bled, a perfect place for a honeymoon. We mostly went on walks, swam in lake Bled and Lake Bohinj, and ate delicious food and wine. The apartment was great and had everything that we needed. We would certainly come back again. Finances permitting, we'd like to try to make a visit in the winter for some skiing.
We met up with your friends John and Heather at the George Best. They were very lots of fun and gave us some great advice on what to do and where to eat.
Thanks very much for your apartment and hope you enjoy the rest of the summer.
Cheers, Sarah and Ian Lafferty London. ______________________________________________________________________________________
Dear Steve
Sorry for not replying sooner I am just back today, went onto Wales whenwe got back from Slovenia for a week. The apartment was lovely, well equipped, spotlessly clean and in anideal spot for walking up to the castle and into the town. We had agreat time it is a stunning area. Adriana was very helpful and gave uslots of advice on places to go.
The one thing we could have done with was a brush and dustpan to sweepup (bet not many people ask for that)!!
Thanks a lot the apartment helped to make the stay very enjoyable.
Many thanks for the use of your apartment last week, We had an excellent time in Bled and managed to get most things sorted for the wedding. It was great having somewhere to stay so close to the town centre.
Hopefully you`ll find that we didn`t break anything whilst we were there!
Dejan was incredibly helpful and was right on schedule picking us up and dropping us back to the airport. Please pass on our thanks to him.
Best regards,
Tim ______________________________________________________________________________________
