Description
In this amazing day trip we visit one of the wine districts of the Slovenian Littoral region (Primorska) – the Vipava Valley, known also as the garden of Slovenia,
where a combination of sub-Mediterranean climate and mineral rich soil and plenty of fresh water enables production of some spectacular wines and juices. Ancient Roman fortresses combined with the medieval settlement of Vipavski Križ, Karst springs of Vipava River and lots of vinyards. 

 

 
Program
First we stop at the Karst springs of the Vipava River, then we head to the town Ajdovščina, which grew from the foundations of the Antique settlement within a Roman fort. This mighty military fort Castrum Ad Fluvium Frigidum ('Fortress by the Cold River') was designed to protect the east border of the Roman Empire.
 
We will try to locate the site of the famous battle dating to the 394 AD. 
 
The old town centre that for centuries stayed within the safety of the wall is a maze of narrow alleys.
Afterwards we will drive to retrace the industrial heritage from the Hubelj riverhead to the vestiges of the old iron works. 
 
Our last stop is going to be the nice medieval settlement of Vipavski križ, surrounded by charming vinyards. We will have a chance to try some typical vines from Vipava Valley, including native varieties growing only in this part of the world, or order some of the world-famous juice made by Fructal which has made fans around the globe.

Description
Visit one of the most well known parts of Slovenia in the heart of the Julian Alps and Triglav National park where two glacier lakes are set. The Bled and Bohinj lakes are extremely popular among Slovenians. This is because of many legends, among which the most famous is about Črtomir and Bogomila, written by our greatest poet, France Prešeren. Or perhaps is it only because of the natural beauty that surrounds this area. The best idea is to find out on your own!
