First Snowfall Of 2024 Covers Our Accommodation Fine Stay Apartments
First major snow of the year has arrived in much of Slovenia. Forecasters say up to 20 centimetres of snow is expected to accumulate in areas including Bled and Ljubljana.
Below are a few photos of our Accommodation Apartments Fine Stay during the first snowfall of the year in Slovenia on January 19, 2024.
Lake Bled In Fall Colors
Everything just looks better in the fall. Most people flock to Lake Bled in the summer, but fall is an awesome time to visit this natural beauty. The temperatures are mild and the stunningly blue water is surrounded by hues of gold, orange and red.
Botanical experts will tell you that fall colors are difficult to predict any given year. Much depends on how low temperatures drop at night. Typically, with the weather getting warmer, it seems that fall colors in the Bled area now begin in early October. Generally, the second half of October is a good bet, but there are no guarantees with nature.
Slovenia’s fall colors are amazing and Lake Bled is one of the best places in the country to enjoy the full “Colorama” experience! It looks amazing in the fall, even if the weather isn’t the best. (photo: Bojan Kolman)
Photo Gallery: A Trip To Vintgar Gorge In Summer
Vintgar Gorge is one of the most beautiful and impressive natural sights, not just in Slovenia but in the whole of Europe. Our current guest Evgenii Danilov visited the Vintgar Gorge with his family on 13 September 2021 and shared these beautiful photos with us.
Vintgar Gorge is 1.6 km / 1 mile long, with paths, wooden walkways and several observation bridges to give you the best views of the river.
Vintgar Gorge was formed by the Radovna river between the Hom and Borst hills.
Vintgar Gorge is 1.6 km / 1 mile and should take about 45-60 minutes to walk through depending on how many breaks you take along the way.
Vintgar Gorge is a nice little hike/walk for just about anyone.
The walk through the gorge, along with all of the photo stops, takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Vintgar Gorge definitely wins in terms of its final sight, this waterfall with the old bridge behind it.
Vintgar Gorge is part of the Triglav National Park.

Photo Gallery: A Hike To Mt. Golica Covered In A White Blanket Of Daffodils
Every year between the months of May and June, thousands of white daffodils are blooming on the slopes of Golica, a mountain in the Karavanke range above the town of Jesenice, only a ten minute drive from Bled. It’s a hike well worth taking in the late spring.
