Lake Bled is one of the most picturesque spots to visit in Slovenia and spring is a fantastic time to visit it. Crowds are small, temperatures are pleasant, prices are not at their highest yet and the nature is so beautifully green.

Despite the rainy, cloudy weather, many nature lovers and photographers are visiting Javorniski Rovt in the Karavanke mountain range to enjoy an explosion of thousands of white wild-growing daffodils.
Javorniski Rovt is a small mountain village in the Karavanke mountain range above the town of Jesenice in northwestern Slovenia, near the Austrian border. Every spring in the month of May, the meadows around the village get covered in a beautiful white blanket of daffodils.

But hurry – the daffodils will start to die after just two to three weeks, giving you only a short window to admire them. (photo: Bostjan Hribar)
One might think a field of crimson clover was planted purely for aesthetic appeal, but this little plant is a tough workhorse in agriculture and in the last few years, crimson clover is also becoming an important source of nectar for honeybees and other pollinators in Slovenia.

Spring is one of the best times to travel to Ljubljana. The city is finally blanketed in green and new life is all around, locals flock the parks and the cafés open their terraces which are perfect for people watching. As soon as the sun comes out, locals make use of every opportunity to be outdoors. Winters are quite long and dark. Hence, everyone loves to maximize their time in the warm sun.

In the small and, until recently, almost unknown village of Jelovo in eastern Slovenia there’s a magical fairy tale place where dwarfs and other creatures live.
There are currently more than 500 dwarf figures and additional 1500 figures of animals and other fairy tale creatures on an idyllic hillside estate next to the forest owned by Marinka Zorec and Joze Vitasovic.

One of Slovenia’s most beautiful and impressive natural sights, Tolmin Gorge, is open to public again today!
Tolmin Gorge is a breathtaking 1,000 meters long, between 5 and 10 meters wide and up to 60 meters deep gorge situated at the southern-most portion of the Triglav National Park in northwestern Slovenia. It has been carved out by the Tolminka and Zadlascica rivers.
The entrance fee is €6 – €10 for adults, depending on the season. The price is highest during July and August. The gorge is open every day from 9:00 to 19:00, longer during the summer months (8:30 to 20:00 June 1st through August 31st).
To walk the entire Tolmin Gorge and visit all of the viewpoints, it takes about two hours. (photo: Michael Matti, Slovenia.info)
The beautiful spring has finally arrived to Kozjansko & Obsotelje, a very scenic but still undiscovered hilly region in the far eastern part of Slovenia.
The Kozjansko and Obsotelje region is known for its rolling hills, vineyards, forests, scattered farms and the most kind people you’ll ever meet.

Every year in early spring, Slovenia’s meadows and mountains explode with thousands of purple crocuses, covering the land with a fairy tale veil of blooms and petals.
The best place to see this explosion is Martinj Vrh, a small mountain village in the Municipality of Ziri in northwestern Slovenia. The flowers usually start to blossom at the end of March, but hands down the safest time to visit is early April, when the entire area is in full bloom.
But hurry – the crocuses will start to die after just two to three weeks, giving you only a short window to admire them.
