Other meals are also available on request, subject to availability. Location The apartment is only 1 hour and 10 minutes from Ljubljana, but surrounded by pristine landscapes. The Slovenian Alps are popular with hiker and cyclists, as there are many mountain-bike routes and hiking trails that allow visitors to explore the beautiful countryside. The peace is the point here, but two of the region's loveliest spots are each about half an hour's drive down in the valley. Lake Bled needs little introduction, with its famous island church, reached by a traditional pletna boat, its clifftop castle, the gentle path that rings the emerald water, and the celebrated cream cake, kremšnita, to finish. The nearby Vintgar Gorge, with its wooden walkways above the river, and Lake Bohinj in the Triglav National Park make easy trips too. Radovljica, meanwhile, is one of Slovenia's prettiest medieval towns, known as "sweet Radovljica" for its honey and chocolate. You can wander the colourful old town around Linhart Square, visit the renowned Museum of Apiculture and the Lectar honeybread workshop, and linger over coffee and cake well away from the crowds. Ljubljana is a small city packed with history. It makes the ideal day trip. A tour of its medieval castle is not to be missed. Neither is a visit to the Central Market, where you can find fresh local produce and regional delicacies. Ljubljana’s international airport is a 40-minute drive.
