You can even walk there, although it is quite a long journey with not too simple a route to follow.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32689 The Skocjan Caves http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32503 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32503 Postojna Cave http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32496 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32496 Gala Hala music venue http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30698 Located in a less touristy area of town among graffiti-covered buildings, the cosy venue is oriented toward punk rock, metal and ska, and also hosts hip-hop and dub nights. Visitors over the years have included The Toasters and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes as well as small European bands.
In the summer you can enjoy the larger outdoor stage (Letni oder Gala Hala) and drink a well-priced lager under the stars while chatting with friendly locals.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/30698 Camp sites in southern Europe http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26561 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26561 Penzion Gasperin http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25607 Rooms from €32 pp]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25607 Terme Čatež - The best thermal spa in Slovenia for families http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25378 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25378 Cantina Mexicana http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24647 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24647 Pri Lenart hotel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23826 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/23826 Swimming in the lake http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22805 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22805 Lakes Bled and Bohinj http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22714 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22714 Rafting the Soca Valley http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21369
There are fast and furious stretches of the river, and other places where it is calm and the most beautiful turquoise colour, overlooked by summer meadows and snow-capped peaks.

Although most people use Bovec as a base, there is a better place to stay: Tolmin. It's friendly and cheap.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21369 Pr' tatko hostel http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14698
The hostel has great views and is situated in a quiet location. The hostel itself has a wealth of character and the rooms are of a good size. We were particularly at home in the kitchen, which provided the opportunity to meet with other people visiting the hostel. We would like to return to Slovenia and would have no problem in coming back to the hostel. Thanks so much for a very enjoyable stay the we will remember for a long time to come.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14698
