Ad // Adventures in Slovenia’s underrated region!
Cliffs, caves, coast views… all in one day. 🌿🧗♀️
This is the Karst Edge (near the Slovenian coast), and I explored it during Weekends on the Edge - an outdoor festival that’s part of the @slovenia.green Events campaign, hosted by @visitkoper destination.
Highlights from my day:
• tried sport climbing with Climbing Club Koper (beginner-friendly, guides take care of the setup + safety!)
• visited a cave with Caving Society Dimnice (and learned all the wild local stories/legends)
• did a fun quest walk in Hrastovlje village to mix culture with adventure
And good news: there’s one more weekend of activities happening on May 9–10, with loads of options like climbing, wildlife watching, cycling, wilderness survival workshops, guided walks, workshops, and more! ☺️
Also… if you go to Hrastovlje, can you double-check if I found the correct word to save the world? 😄🗝️
➡️ Save this place for your Slovenia trip, and visit the Slovenia Green Events website to find more events taking place this year!

Reklám | Van egy szlovén város, amiről meglepően kevesen beszélnek.
Ez Koper, ami egykor sziget volt, ma pedig az egyik legjobb kiindulópont, ha a tengerpart mellé természeti látnivalót is keresel.
A város történelme minden sarkon visszaköszön, hiszen a rómaiak, bizánciak és velenceiek mind hagytak itt valamit, amivel az utcákon sétálva találkozhatsz, aztán kilépsz a városból és teljesen más világba csöppensz.
A Karsztvidék sziklafalai, túraútvonalai és rejtett falvai brutál látványt adnak.
És ha ez nem lenne elég, egy finom olasz fagyi a parton vagy egy adag helyi finomság egyenesen a tengerből garantálja az igazi élményt, amiben itt részed lehet!
Mindenképpen vedd fel Kopert és környékét a bakancslistádra, ha a szlovén tengerparton jársz! 😊
