Slovenia, the Romantic Dragon City in Southern Europe

Slovenia, the full name of Slovenia, is a small country located in southern Central Europe, near the Alps. Ljubljana, the capital, is the largest city in Slovenia, with historical and cultural relics such as the ruins of ancient Rome in the third and fourth centuries BC, St. Nicholas Cathedral in the eighteenth century, the concert hall built by 1702 and some baroque buildings in the seventeenth century.

Slovenia, even the name is romantic. Because Slovenia =S (yes) love (love) ni (you) a (ah).

Besides the hidden love in its name, Slovenia itself is a country full of happiness. Its economic level is no less than that of "going north to Guangzhou", but the cost of living is much lower. People's life is stress-free, happy and satisfied; It is small in area, but rich in scenery. This is a country that covers the beautiful scenery of Alps, Mediterranean, pannonian plain and karst plateau. This pocket-sized Central European country presents unique romance and aestheticism to the world with its natural scenery, red Eden, Balkan Venice, wonderful cave castles and ancient buildings.

First stop: Ljubljana

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia, and the air is full of romance and leisure. It's small, because you can drive anywhere you want in one day. It's a veritable exquisite city. Ljubljana is located in the upper reaches of sava river in the northwest, in a basin surrounded by mountains. Patches of Woods, hazy fog, quiet parks, the Ljubljana River flowing slowly through the city center and the famous "triple bridge" all make this exquisite city fashionable and lovely.

Ljubljana Castle was built on the top of the mountain. When you climb the Pentagon, you can overlook the whole old town of Ljubljana and even see the Alps in the distance. Gothic murals and decorations were added to the castles in 17 and 18 centuries, and they are now preserved one by one.

At night, the lights in the central square of Ljubljana are lit up in turn, and the buildings around the square are even more amazing under the charming lights. In the middle of Little Square is the city hall built in 17 18, which is a Renaissance building. There is also a Baroque Barrow Fountain in the square, which is modeled after the Four Rivers Fountain in Navana Square in Rome. The three groups of statues on the pedestal represent three Slovenian rivers: the Ljubljana River and the Krka River in the sava river. The Bourriane River flows quietly through the old city. There are several bridges on a short river: Dragon Bridge, Butcher Bridge and the three oldest bridges.

Second stop: Brad Lake and Brad Island.

About 14000 years ago, the melting snow water from glaciers in the Alps was continuously injected into the lake, forming Lake Bled, which was called "ice lake" just like the tears of ice crystals shed by glaciers. The lush forests, mirror lake, boating lake and charming natural scenery of Lake Brad bring people into the mysterious world like fairy tales. The lake here is crystal clear. When the sun never shines, the whole lake is like a crystal clear sapphire. The towering Alps in the distance seem to be purely to set off her beautiful face. Swans and ducks are swimming in the lake, and the surrounding mountains are shaded by trees. Everything is like a landscape in a famous painting.

Besides the impure water, the most attractive places of Lake Bled are the Catholic Church on the central island of the lake and the castle on the cliff by the lake. According to legend, in 1004, Henry II of Germany built a church and castle here, and stood on the shore overlooking Brad Castle. It was like an independent hermit, quietly accompanying this alpine ice lake.

Lake Brad is beautiful all year round, but the most beautiful is the autumn color of Lake Brad.

Villa Brad Hotel on Lake Brad, known as the cafe afternoon tea with the best view of Lake Brad, is very close to the island in the middle of the lake. Sitting at the dining table, you can have a panoramic view of the quiet Lake Brad and the magnificent mountain scenery around it. While enjoying coffee, it is very romantic and comfortable with a gentle breeze.

Third stop: Trigraf area

Trigraf National Park, not far from Lake Bled, is the only national park in Slovenia. It takes about 40 minutes by car. It is said that it has the magic of retaining time. Looking at the colorful colors outside the window through the window all the way, the road continues to extend in the colorful, and houses of various colors are scattered in the valley at will. Trigraf National Park occupies a quarter of Slovenia's territory and is one of the oldest parks in Europe. Its name comes from Trigraf, the highest peak in Central Park and Slovenia.

Trigraf National Park is one of the oldest national parks in Europe. This glacier movement gave birth to two lakes, one is Bosgne, the largest glacial lake in Slovenia, and the other is Lake Bled.

Bosnier Lake is a famous perennial lake in Slovenia. Because there are few people coming and going, it retains its original flavor. The clear water of Boxing Lake reflects the surrounding snow-capped mountains, and the blue sky and white clouds complement each other. The14th century old white church by the lake is as charming as oil painting.

There is a church in the national park-St. John the Baptist Church, which stands quietly by the lake and witnesses the landscape changes of Lake Boigny.

Mount Trigrav is the highest peak in Slovenia, with an altitude of 2863 meters. Its name means "three three" and consists of three peaks. 1778, ushered in the first climber. You can have a panoramic view from the summit, looking at Austria in the north and Adriatic Sea in the south.

Fourth stop: Postner region

Theuner Cave in Persia is the most proud natural landscape of Slovenians. It is the only underground cave in the world that needs a small train to go deep, and it is also the cave with the largest number of cave creatures in the world. The whole cave is like a secret underground paradise!

The cave train is very exciting, more than 200 meters underground, and it is very challenging. The train sometimes passes through the narrow hole, and stalactites make people bow their heads and shrink their hands unconsciously, and sometimes shuttle through the spacious and tall hall hole, which takes about 15 minutes to reach the core area of the hole.

Looking at these glorious worlds carved by nature for thousands of years, people can't help but feel awe and humility.

The strangest thing is that a white stalactite column stands in a cave full of iron-containing red stalactites! It's amazing that even scientists can't explain this phenomenon.

Bojama Castle, not far from the cave, is the largest cave castle in the world. The castle was built in the Middle Ages. There is a chapel in the castle, and there is even a hellish torture hole. Even the oldest cave part of the castle has a secret passage to the town at the foot of the mountain.

Fifth stop: maribor.

Maribor is the second largest city in Slovenia. The city park here has very old vines and a long history of wine making in the world. There are wineries and farms to visit outside the city. It is also unique to go to the wine cellar to carry a bottle of red wine in person and sit under the vines to savor it.

Sixth stop: Lipika town

There is a horse farm with a history of hundreds of years in Lipika town, which is famous for dressage and is the most elegant horse farm in Europe. Horses from the Royal Equestrian School in Vienna were transported from the Slovenian town of Lipika.

Conclusion: Slovenia, a small and quiet place, is really an unpopular and exciting place. Slovenia, a small country, as a secret left by God, is full of dreams. It nestles quietly in the arms of the Alps, and the beautiful scenery makes people hold their breath, for fear of disturbing this tranquility and beauty. No amount of words can express it, and only personal experience can truly feel its charm.
