Slovenia
A small Alpine nation at the crossroads of Central and Southeastern Europe, Slovenia packs remarkable geographic diversity into a compact territory — Julian Alps, Mediterranean coastline, karst caves, and rolling wine country. The charming capital Ljubljana sits along the Ljubljanica River. Slovenia is one of the most environmentally conscious EU members and home to the famous Lake Bled.
