The Huffington Post has just published a ranking of the world’s most extraordinary national parks and Slovenia’s Triglav National Park was included in this exquisite company. “Located just outside of Bled, Slovenia’s only national park seems plucked from a fairy tale. With the picturesque Lake Bohinj ripe for exploration by canoe or kayak, plenty of hiking trails and quaint wooden houses lining the lake, it’s a glorious respite from the popular destination of Bled,” the Huffington Post substantiated their decision.

The other national parks included on the list are the USA’s Yellowstone National Park, Mexico’s Palenque National Park, Canada’s Pacific Rim National Park, Colombia’s Tayrona National Park, Argentina’s Parque Nacional Los Glacieres, Brazil’s Pantanal Matogrossense National Park, Japan’s Hakone National Park, Thailand’s Khao Yai National Park, Vietnam’s Cat Ba National Park, Namibia’s Etosha National Park, Kenya’s Nairobi National Park, Morocco’s Toubkal National Park, Sweden’s Sarek National Park, Spain’s Timanfaya National Park, Tasmania’s Freycinet National Park and New South Wales’s Jervis Bay National Park.
