Spring lures you into nature

As the snow cover slowly disappears, the scent of spring fills the land. The first harbingers of spring are already poking their heads out of the ground.

Even if nature blossoms a little later in the mountains than in the valleys, it shines in a no less fascinating blaze of color. The Velika planina high mountain pasture disappears under a carpet of purple crocus.

An unforgettable sight is the Golica (summit on the border between Slovenia and Austria, above the Slovenian town of Jesenice), which is also cloaked in white in May - only now, instead of snow, daffodils cover the summit in the western Karawanks.

The Vršič Pass is the highest mountain pass in Slovenia open to general road traffic and connects Kranjska Gora with the village of Trenta in the Soča Valley. Discover a beautiful alpine garden here on your hikes from June onwards.

In the middle of the hustle and bustle of the city, you can relax in the botanical garden or Tivoli Park - the largest and most beautiful park in Ljubljana. Or visit the botanical garden of the University of Maribor Pivola. At the foot of the green Pohorje mountains, the enchanting garden will impress you with its landscape of domestic and foreign flora.
