CAVES

Over 10,000 caves have been registered in Slovenia. The limestone of the Karst and other parts of Slovenia mean that visitors can marvel at the underworld at famous locations like Postojna and Skocjan caves. It is amazing to see stalactities and stalagmites that have been evolving over thousands of years.

GREEN SLOVENIA

Slovenia prides itself in being green which is the unofficial national colour. Slovenians have a strong desire to preserve their unspoilt nature so that everyone can enjoy the pristine lakes, rivers, forests and landscape for years to come.

KRANKSKY
