Food scene
A few suggestions with places we like to go to for a good meal.
Great "kruhki" (sort of pizza rolls), very nice staff, beautiful garden to sit in. Gets pretty full during weekends, so we recommend to book in advance.

Set at the bank of the river with wonderful view The Bazen Bar & BBQis the perfect location if you want to start your day with a good breakfast, when you are looking for a place to enjoy morning coffee, when you want to hang out with co- workers or spend an evening in good company accompanied by delicious food and drinks.
We love cheese and vegetarian burger the most, their chips with spices and parmigiano are also to die for.

Sightseeing
Where we had fun and places we have visited and can recommend.
A small village with great lake and surroundings. Look for a spring of natural mineral water - no additives, pure nature. Just for a walk or more serious hiking around. Try to avoid weekends as it may get crowded.

Ski resort during winter and a hiking paradise during the summer. Activities for children, adrenaline junkies or nature lovers. Get a cable car to take you there or go by foot or car.

Further from Bled, less city and more nature. Excellent for hiking or just bathing in the crystal clear water of Bohinj Lake. Just make sure you pay your parking as they are very strict about it.

Soča Valley. If you are looking for a full day excursion, Soča Valley is a great destination. Beautiful river with gorges, waterfalls, adventure parks, river rafting, canyoning... Gets really crowded in August though (bit less in July), especially weekends. The river is cold for swimming (some 9 degrees C) - similar to Kokra that runs through the yard.

Kokra River. You can swim in Kokra - if you are brave enough. In the summer it has 8-10 degrees C. Some 20m upstream from the yard is a nice place where you can actually swim. The best way to get there is just walk along the stream. BE CAREFUL though! There are beautiful walks along the Kokra river lower downstream. Our favorite is near village Visoko (some 15 km from the house toward Kranj): when driving through Visoko, follow the sign for Športno društvo Visoko (address: Visoko 67). You will find a path right next to Kokra river. Locals favourite for refreshing in the summer or just for a stroll any time of the year. Explore the woods around there - we find them magical...

Soča valley, with beautiful Boka waterfall & Soča spring - at the begging of the trail there is a hut with very good local food - try the apple strudel ;)

Bled - a must-see lake of Bled + (the only slovenian!) island + Public cafe (great vegan food and vegan version of the famous Bled Cream Cake) or the standard original Bled cream cake in Cafe Park (opposite Hotel Park, by the lake)

A few cities that we like...
Our charming capital Ljubljana. Nice historic centre for a walk or see it from the river in a boat. Or go shoping in one of the shopping centres.
