Sights Slovenia
What is there to do in Slovenia? Of course, Slovenia is the country of incredible nature. Triglav National Park and the lakes of Slovenia are simply unmissable on your holiday. But what is there to do in Slovenia apart from nature? Which sights are worth visiting, even if the sun isn’t shining? The attractions below will add another layer to your visit to Slovenia, even when it’s raining.
u003ch2u003eTechnology museum TMSu003c/h2u003ernA big surprise in Slovenia is the impressive TMS technology museum. Situated in the village of ‘Verd’ just outside the capital Ljubljana, you wouldn’t expect a museum of this size. Be amazed by a huge collection of cars, motorbikes and agricultural vehicles. But that’s only the beginning. Discover the water mills, woodworking, and even the wild animals from Slovenian nature.
The museum is fun for young and old. It’s a real voyage of discovery, and we don’t want to spoil too much in advance. On sunny days you can enjoy the beautiful garden and the water running through the museum grounds. And when the weather turns bad, you can explore this rather large complex indoors. Highly recommended!
u003ch2u003ePostojna Cavesu003c/h2u003ernThe cave system near the city of Postojna is so impressive that it draws countless people deep into the mountains. Because of the sheer size of the many gigantic ‘chambers’, I would even recommend it to people with claustrophobia. Concerts are even held in these caves – they really are that big.
Besides their size, the cave system is a breathtaking cathedral of stalactites and stalagmites. Metre-high dripstones form a surreal landscape far below the surface. The tour through the caves begins with a ride on an open train to reach the most beautiful parts of the cave system. From here, you take a walk through many chambers, with a guide telling you about the history and the remarkable formation of the caves. Your walk ends with another train ride back into the fresh air. » Read practical tips for your visit to The Postojna Caves
