Autumn might not be your favorite season, but if you visit Slovenia during this time, you might change your mind. Come with us...

The colors of nature and the pleasant temperatures lure us out into the fresh air. And even if we sometimes need an extra item of clothing, we don't let it rain on our vacation days. Put on your walking boots, hop on your bike or saddle up a horse. And off you go into the autumnal countryside. Perhaps you would also like an autumn adrenaline experience.
 

Hiking through a sea of color
Slovenia is criss-crossed by numerous hiking trails. The rich selection of thematically interesting and varied trails will delight every hiker. On the way you can get to know both the Alpine valleys and the mysterious mountain world.

Into the fall by bike
In some regions, the temperatures are still pleasant in late fall, so you can enjoy cycling. Cycling tours through the wine-growing regions are particularly recommended, where you can experience the cheerful atmosphere of the new grape harvest. Of course, you should also stop off at the hospitable locals on your cycle tours, who will be happy to treat you to fresh produce, of which there is no shortage in the fall.

On the back of a horse
The most beautiful horse experiences await you in Lipica, the cradle of the Lipizzaner horses. Here you can ride through the karst landscape, which shines in the fiery red of the wig bush, or, if you don't know how to ride, you can take a carriage. If Lipica is the cradle of Lipizzaner horses, then Ljutomer is the center of harness racing, and it is not impossible that you will see a harness race during your visit to Prlekija. Riding is also possible on many farms and ranches.

A glimpse into the mysterious world beneath the earth's surface
Turn rainy days into a unique adventure beneath the earth's surface. Discover the mysterious underworld of Slovenia, which is particularly breathtaking in the Karst region. Here you will find the famous Postojna Cave, the most visited tourist cave in Europe, which you can visit on the unique cave train. You can also take on the role of the first cave explorers. In addition to Postojna Cave, there are many other caves that are well worth a visit. Or explore the flooded passages of what was once the largest lead and zinc mine in Europe.
