Travel Report Slovenia: Part 5
Return journey via the Vršič Pass
After a wonderful time in Slovenia and especially in the Soča Valley, it was time to head back to Germany. However, not without taking one last highlight with me: the impressive Vršič Pass. This 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 from time to time: once to hike to the source of the Soča River, and once right at the top, to marvel at the beautiful mountain panorama.
Anyone who wants to can then easily spend another two days in Kranjska Gora (that's what I did too). Because although it is primarily a winter destination, I also found the region enjoyable 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 beautiful wetland area, also offers the opportunity for extensive walks.
Slovenia: Small country, great diversity!
From Kranjska Gora, refreshed and full of wonderful impressions, I set off again for 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 worry-free. Just as worry-free as I had been throughout my entire trip in Slovenia with my electronic monthly vignette.
All that's left is my conclusion! And it turns out to be incredibly positive: Slovenia actually pleased me even more than I had initially thought. 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. It won me over completely, at least, and I'm certain: I'll be back!
