Slovenia

DVD. Cities of the World. 60 Minutes. Half of Slovenia's colorful area is covered by forests, but the country also has another part - a tiny, but very nice coastal area on the Adriatic Sea - with such venetian style cities as Izola, Piran and Portoro?, as well as 2800 meters high mountains and ski resorts. The picturesque tarns Bled and Bohinj both lie in a wonderful landscape. The gem of the karstic area is the Postojna cave. The tiny country has plenty of wild rivers suitable for rafting and healing waters. Golf, mountineering, diving, mountain biking and rock climbing are also warmly welcomed in Slovenia. The Lipica stud is well known all around the globe. All of this is completed by such mediaeval towns as Maribor, Skofja Loka and Ljubljana, and such romantic castles as the Predjama.
