Travel Report Slovenia: Part 5
Return journey over the Vršič Pass
After a wonderful time in Slovenia, and especially in the Soča Valley, it was time to head back to Germany. But not without taking one last highlight with us: the impressive Vršič Pass. This pass leads over the mountains from the northern Soča Valley across to the town of Kranjska Gora, which is a popular destination especially for skiers. On the way over the pass, however, you should make a stop here and there: once to hike to the source of the Soča River, and once right at the top, to admire the beautiful mountain panorama.
If you like, you can then happily spend another two days in Kranjska Gora (which is what I did). Because although it's primarily a winter destination, I also found the region appealing in summer: Lake Jasna invites you to relax, the beautiful Pišnica Alpine Valley, through which the stream of the same name flows, can be wonderfully explored on foot, and the Zelenci Nature Reserve, a stunning marshland, also offers the opportunity for extensive walks.
Slovenia: Small country, great diversity!
From Kranjska Gora, rested and full of wonderful impressions, I set off again on my way back to Germany. Since I had already obtained my digital vignette for driving through Austria in advance, I didn't have to worry about anything on my return journey either and could head home carefree. Just as carefree as I had been throughout my entire trip in Slovenia with my electronic monthly vignette.
All that's left now is my conclusion! And it turns out to be incredibly positive: I actually liked Slovenia even more than I initially expected. This small country on the edge of the Alps really has a lot to offer and is incredibly diverse: beautiful cities, breathtaking mountain landscapes, idyllic wine-growing regions, exciting caves and castles, dreamy lakes, and impressive architecture: the country truly offers something for every taste. At least it won me over completely, and I'm sure of one thing: I'll be back!
