I went to Slovenia with few expectations but a couple of assumptions. &nbsp;Assumptions that I\u2019m happy both turned out to be wrong. My first assumption was that ten days would be sufficient to explore much of Slovenia. &nbsp;Despite being a small country, Slovenia is packed with gems of destinations to discover. Even with ten days in the country I ended up missing out on places I would have liked to have visit, but did not have the opportunity to. &nbsp;If you can spare fourteen days for this beautiful little country: do so. If you only have one week to travel in Slovenia then this Slovenia itinerary is do-able, but you\u2019ll have to move on faster. In my opinion there are few countries in the world where Eco-Friendly travel is as easy or as enjoyable as it is in Slovenia. This Slovenia itinerary is by no means an exhaustive list of all of the attractions in the country with great credentials, but it is meant to be a starting point. &nbsp;Above all, do research, explore, and enjoy venturing off some of the beaten tracks. When is the best time to visit Slovenia? &nbsp;I visited Slovenia in late September which was the perfect season to visit for me. &nbsp;The country does see significantly more visitors in July and August so it\u2019s better to avoid those months if you can. &nbsp;April, May and June make great times to go as well as September \u2013 or the winter if you are looking for some spectacular snow! Like this post? Pin it on Pinterest! Eco Friendly Travel in Ljubljana I wrote about things to do in Ljubljana in my previous post. You can easily spend a couple of days in this lovely city at the start or end of your trip, or even in the middle which might make more sense depending on where you are arriving from. &nbsp;Public transportation in Slovenia (bus or train) usually requires having to change in the capital, so you could equally choose to spend a day or two in the city to break up your journey between the north and south of the country. Slovenia Itinerary: Responsible Travel in Slovenia. The Northen end of Lake Bled in early autumn. Lakes: Bled vs Bohinj? (2-3 Days) The first time I saw Bled I just passed through. I only caught a glimpse of the lake from the windows of my bus, as we went on to Bohinj. &nbsp;I was curious however to see the famous lake and its castle, so I returned to Bled near the end of my time in Slovenia. The image of Bled and the island at the centre of the lake is by far the most famous image of Slovenia, and the main reason for many peoples\u2019 trips to the country. &nbsp;There\u2019s no denying that Bled is beautiful, and there is plenty to do in Bled to keep you occupied for a day or two; from sampling the cream cakes, to boating across the lake and visiting the castle. My main issue with Bled was the crowds. &nbsp;Tour bus after tour bus rolled up during my time there, and it was the most crowded spot that I saw during my time in Slovenia. It\u2019s also a town that has&nbsp;chosen to invest in opening casinos as opposed to promoting its more natural attractions\u2014or so it seemed. Lake Bohinj is the lesser known of the two lakes, and is one of Slovenia\u2019s Green Destinations. &nbsp;Here the atmosphere is completely different. &nbsp;There\u2019s not much to do in Bohinj town, but the outdoor activities could keep you busy for days on end. The lake itself is more peaceful, and is located within the Triglav National Park. &nbsp;Besides the lake, Bohinj is also famous for its flower meadows up in the hills above the lake, and&nbsp;the best time to visit these is in May. Bohinj has also worked to ensure its local communities are supported through tourism through creating the Bohinj Brand\u2014\u2018Bohinjsko from Bohinj\u2019. &nbsp;The brand is a signal to visitors that the product has been created locally, in partnership with local communities. The brand covers products ranging from food products and teas to arts and crafts and general souvenirs, and are available in a number of restaurants and gift shops in the town. Ultimately which is right for you will depend on your personal preferences and whether you prefer the outdoors or towns, lots of people or fewer people. &nbsp;It\u2019s also possible to visit both of course! From Bled just travel onwards to Bohinj by direct bus. Where to stay in&nbsp;Bled and Bohinj:&nbsp; Bohinj: Lake Bohinj is home to the\u00a0, where I stayed. \u00a0The eco hotel Bohinj was the first eco-hotel in Slovenia, and has won a number of awards since opening. The hotel even has its own water well and energy centre to heat and cool the property effectively. I loved the modern bathrooms in the room and was gutted to be whisked away before having some time to enjoy the hotel\u2019s huge\u00a0wellness centre and panoramic views of the mountains from the pool. Bled:\u00a0The town has a huge number of hotels, I chose the\u2014a small cosy guesthouse and hostel with a mix of dorm and private rooms about 10 minutes walk from Bled lake. \u00a0It\u2019s not officially eco, but includes a large amount of locally sourced and recycled style in its furnishings, and has an attractive outdoor chill out lodge\u00a0perfect for\u2026 chilling. I loved the peace and quiet of this place compared to Bled town itself. Soca River Valley &amp; Nova Gorica (1 day) Bikes at Bohinj Bistrica station. Leaving from Bohinj, we took a train ride from Bohinjska Bistrica to Kanal. &nbsp;About an hour\u2019s trip, the train ride affords views of stunning scenery of the green Slovenian mountains and hills. &nbsp;Being a train travel fan, this was one of my favourite parts of my trip. On arriving at Kanal, we rented mountain bikes and then cycled along the Soca [&hellip;]"}
