THURSDAY 

Today, our optional full-day excursion will take us to explore the town of Bled, known as the pearl of the Slovenian Alpine region. We will be visiting Bled Castle (entrance extra) to see the magnificent view of Bled Island and the Emerald Lake from above.

FRIDAY 

Today, our optional full-day excursion will take us to Vintgar Gorge (extra) to experience the most unspoiled nature of Bled and enjoy the unmissable scenery of the gorge. The highlight is a 1600m wooden walkway through the gorge, built in 1893 and continually rebuilt since. It crisscrosses the swirling Radovna River four times over rapids, waterfalls, and pools before reaching the 16m-high Šum Waterfall. Then we proceed to Velika Planina, a dispersed high-elevation settlement made up mostly of herders’ dwellings on the Karst Big Pasture Plateau in the Kamnik Alps. We will board a cable car (extra) and get to enjoy some stunning views.  

SATURDAY 

We will board our coach for a full-day optional excursion and cross over to Austria. First, we visit Velden, the famous and vibrant village on the shore of Lake Wörthersee. We will later drive to the popular Pyramidenkogel (entrance extra), a wooden steel structure overlooking Lake Wörthersee. Pyramidenkogel is the highest observation tower in the world with a total height of 100 meters. We then proceed to the 17th-century town of Klagenfurt in the southern part of Austria which has been awarded the prestigious Europa Nostra Diploma for its restored arcaded Renaissance courtyards. Located on the eastern bank of Lake Wörthersee, Carinthia’s capital makes a wonderful destination thanks to its cultural treasures and nearby mountains. The Neuer Platz is dominated by the Lindwurm, a winged dragon, which is the emblem of the city and was modeled on the dragon of a local legend.

This will be followed by a lovely barbeque in this incredibly beautiful setting (drinks and lunch included). We will then proceed to Kozjak Waterfalls (extra), nicely set through a gorge where we will first cross an interesting wooden suspension bridge whilst admiring some more stunning views (the walk to the waterfalls is easy to moderate, however, the last path to the waterfalls does not have any handles to hold on to).
