Buy blow Maribor Pohorje

The biggest crowds gather in the Slovene capital, Ljubljana , where numerous events take place, the highlight being the fireworks display launched from the Ljubljana Castle hill. I saw in the new year there a few years back; first taking a brisk! A more unique way to see in the new year is to visit the mountains. Expect hearty food alongside the wood-burner, plenty of schnapps, and obligatory singing! A pair of snowshoes, as seen below, definitely aids access when conditions are like this. This year the fun begins at 7pm — reservations essential. If you do venture out in the cold at midnight, be sure to wrap up well! In February next year I will have been living in Slovenia for 10 years — gosh how time flies! Well, things have definitely changed and Christmas is most definitely here in a big ger way! Shops are usually open on the 24 th but close a little earlier than usual. All shops are closed on the 25 th and again this is a family day, often for some recreational activities perhaps skiing, hiking or visiting relatives. The 26 th is also a public holiday, Independence and Unity Day , and therefore again many shops and business will be closed although these days most of the larger ones are open, at least for a few hours in the morning. No Boxing Day Sales — hooray! Christmas markets take place in all the major cities — the largest being in Ljubljana , where there are numerous markets throughout the city, the main one being alongside the banks of the Ljubljanica river. The festivities kick-off on 25th November with the official switching on of the lights at 5. There are also numerous concerts and other events taking place throughout the festive period. My home town of Radovljica , one of the three best-preserved historic towns in Slovenia, has a small Advent Market and also looks magical! The cute little Alpine Village in the ski resort of Kranjska Gora is a winter wonderland. The Christmas programme includes a Christmas market, St. Nicholas fair, Artmar fair, city ice-rink, concerts and parties. Festivities in Bled begin on 2nd December. A Christmas market takes place on the promenade at the south end of Lake Bled. Throughout Slovenia you will find a host of other festive events and activities, where you can be a spectator or join in, including live nativities , outdoor ice-rinks, parades and concerts.

However, the country has certainly caught up with, and caught onto, the festive spirit and now there are Christmas-related events happening throughout the land. So, how is Christmas celebrated in Slovenia? What is there to do, where to go? If you are visiting Slovenia at that time it is worth noting that many restaurants may be closed on this evening or close earlier than usual. There are Christmas markets taking place in all the major cities, the largest being in Ljubljana , where there are numerous markets. Maribor Christmas Market photo MP produkcija. The Alpine Village in Kranjska Gora — from There are of course many more towns that have Christmas markets and events — too many to list here — and many of these, including those listed here also have open-air ice-skating rinks. The entrance fee also includes a walk through the ice kingdom, a gallery of nativity scenes and the nativity performance held in the frozen waterfall. Be sure to wrap up warmly! Turning to food, no Slovene home is complete over the festive season without potica — a traditional rolled and filled cake. This week, however, with the exception of a blip yesterday, it looks set to warm up again and hopefully I, and the weather, are now on the up! Though, since I was feeling a bit lacklustre I needed a more gentle alternative and therefore a trip to the Pokljuka plateau was just the ticket. The vast plateau really does offer something for everyone. I usually go for longer hikes and baulk at the thought of driving part of the way, but this time I did let the car take some of the strain! There are endless places to walk of all lengths and difficulties, though, it is best to stick to marked paths and forest roads as one could very easily get lost in the great swathes of forest. I began by driving past the Kranjska dolina highland , from where Stol , the highest peak in the Karavanke , can be seen in the background. However, instead of continuing up to the hut, I took another path back down to rejoin the road, reaching one of my favourite highlands, Planina zajavornik. The whole of Pokljuka lies within Triglav National Park , which means there are certain rules to abide to protect nature and, as can be seen below, there are bears in the area, though the chances of meeting one are probably one in a million! I then enjoyed a rest in the sun among the wildflowers. There are a smattering of small wooden houses on the highland and, during the summer months, cheese, yoghurt and sour milk can be bought direct from the herdsmen. Aside from the monster of a hail storm early afternoon, it was a fine day that drew visitors — locals and tourists alike — to browse and buy from the stalls where they could chat directly with the ceramists themselves. There were also workshops, for adults and children, for those interested in having a go at making something for themselves. The vine is in the garden at Kunstelj Inn which offers great local food and one of the finest views in town. These days it is perhaps even more diverse due to the emergence of some world-class chefs who are taking traditional Slovene food and giving it a modern twist, and also due to the increasingly multi-cultural population consisting, in particular, of people from other former-Yugoslav nations. As you can see from the photo below, I bought some and began to work my way through the cuisine of various countries! The only problem was that there were so many different things on offer, and it was so busy, with the stands so tightly packed together, that I lost track of what I was eating and from which country! I was hoping to have a chance to chat with the stall holders, to find out more about what they had on offer, their country specialities etc. So, in the end I just headed to the stalls that were most reachable and managed to come away with plates laden with various types of burek, breads, potica, cakes, baklava and more! I can see this event going from strength-to-strength, however, the organisers really need to find a larger venue which allows more space for the exhibitors, the visitors and the accompanying programme. Here are a couple more pictures of the various dishes on offer, more can be seen on my Pinterest page! Additionally, as an opening offer, they are throwing in a free return train ticket to London. Click on the link on the right-hand-side of my blog to get booking those bargain flights! Still on the theme of transport, I read this week about a new daily bus route from Vienna to Trieste in Italy, via Ljubljana. This also has to be another useful addition as many tourists visiting Slovenia from further afield, fly into one of the surrounding airports, such as Vienna or Trieste and this offers another choice of ways to reach Slovenia. Just another reason to come and visit! It looks the prices should be competitive too, which is even better. On Saturday I visited the Stara Sava area of Jesenice , 20 mins by car from Radovljica or just a few stops on the train, to look around the museum area and the St. The area comprises the 16th century Ruard Manor , the 17th century Church of St. These days suha roba products can be found on sale from mobile vans, stalls, and even hawkers who walk around selling the various products hanging from their every limb, at many markets and other larger events throughout the country. If you are looking for a gift to take home for friends or family, you will surely find something; kitchen implements, garden tools, toys, small items of furniture, and myriad other useful household objects. The last few days have been a perfect mixture of brilliant spring sunshine with cold, bright, crisp mornings, and warm afternoons. The week ahead looks like being more of the same. So, no complaints here — for a change! I suppose I only had myself to blame as I was armed with only a basic map but, in my defence, many of the larger tourist attractions throughout the country have familiar brown signs beside the major roads to direct visitors, this one, alas, did not and is woefully lacking in signage; rather strange since it seems to be a relatively popular and visited one. Anyway, once I arrived at the cave, all was forgotten and it was well worth the effort. Slovenia, though, actually has over 10, registered caves, and to think that those are the ones that are known about, who knows what else lurks in the mysterious underworld. Many of them are largely unexplored whilst others, those that are open to the public, are not as vast as the aforementioned ones, but nonetheless each offers an intriguing glimpse into the underground karst world. The Ponikvica stream carved out the cave and runs through it throughout the part that is now open to the public. It is well-equipped with boardwalks, ladders, lights etc. Guided tours of the cave are available daily on the hour, from 10am-5pm from 1st April — 30th September; in March and October it is only open at weekends with the last tour at 4pm. Following the tour I took a walk on the forest nature trail which begins at the entrance to the cave and is easy to follow; just follow the green owls! The 2km circular trail takes less than 30 minutes and is nice way to begin, or end, a visit to the cave. Nearby is a Roman Necropolis which I had also planned to visit but on this occasion was unable to since the monuments are still covered up for the winter period. The tradition of making and floating models vessels, made by local children and illuminated by candles, in the streams in the villages of Kropa and Kamna Gorica will take place this week. This age-old iron-forging custom takes place annually on the eve of St. The models, which are a mixture of unique art creations made from paper, cardboard and wood with candles affixed either on the exterior or interior, create a colourful effect against the dusk setting. This custom dates back to the era of manual iron forging, before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in , when the name day of St. Gregory was considered the first day of spring.
