Slovenia is a country with unspoiled nature and endless possibilities for an active vacation in the company of your loved ones.

Slovenia's diverse natural landscapes are probably among the most beautiful and impressive in all of Europe. Whether on land, in the air or in the water, green Slovenia offers a variety of outdoor experiences with a special adrenaline kick.

For example, climbing enthusiasts defy their fear of heights in the country's numerous high-ropes parks and put their strength and dexterity to the test. On the shores of Lake Bohinj, for example, the Bohinj Adrenalin Park awaits with climbing elements at dizzying heights and, among other things, a giant swing in the middle of the treetops. Adventurous families will find plenty of fun at the Postojna Adventure Park, located just a few steps from the famous Postojna Cave in the Karst.

Paragliders will experience the beauty of Slovenia from a bird's eye view while paragliding. If the feeling of freedom in the air inspires you, you will also get your money's worth on the countless ziplines in the country. Whether over the deep gorges of the Učja, over the steep ski jump in Planica or along the "Olimpline in Črna na Koroškem", Slovenia's longest uninterrupted zipline at 1,1260 meters - daring descents are guaranteed.

Slovenia's waters, first and foremost the emerald green Soča River, beckon with rushing rapids for exciting rafting tours. Accompanied by experienced rafting guides, the rapid tours become unique and safe experiences. In the rushing waters of the Sava, Savinja, Krka and Kolpa rivers, kayakers will find their ideal outdoor playground. An adventure of a special kind is also promised by the kayak tour in the mysterious underworld of the Petzen, where the disused mine shafts can be explored. Active water rats who prefer to move a little slower on the refreshing water will get their money's worth on the leisurely canoe trips through the moors of Ljubljana or on the tranquil Lake Bohinj, in the heart of the Triglav National Park.

Just as much adrenaline as fun is promised by the professionally guided canyoning tours, which will satisfy lovers of hiking, climbing and swimming alike. The popular canyons of the Sušec and Kozjak streams in the Soča Valley, with their narrow stream beds, picturesque waterfalls, steep natural walls and crystal clear cols, are particularly well suited for an unforgettable outdoor adventure in Slovenia. A park that combines all these adrenaline-pumping sports is Adventure Valley in the picturesquely situated Savinja Valley in the north of the country.
