4.5 days in Slovenia - itinerary suggestions

Hi folks,
I've been scanning the forums for ideas, but would appreciate any others that people can offer - in particular regarding time in each place and which direction to travel.
We fly in and out of Ljubliana (unless anyone can tell us an easy way to get from Montenegro to Slovenia - we have 5 days there first).

Interests: Hiking/anything outdoors, short city sight seeing, short time on beach.
Lake bled and Piran seem to be the two placs most mentioned.

Thanks!
Lisa

Ljubljana - Tue 08 Jan to Thu 10 Jan 2013

Hello

I am coming to the capital of Slovenia on Tue 08.01.2013 and staying until Thursday 10.01.2013.

Is anyone from the Anglosphere going to be around and fancy meeting up for a quick drink? I am 31, British and live in the East Midlands (of England).

Incidentally I am thinking of going to Zagreb on the train for the day on Wed 09.01.2013 on a day return. I have heard it takes about two hours on the train. I looked at rail-europe.co.uk but it said no services were running, however when I spoke to the hotel they said services ran every day. Has anyone got any links or has a rough idea how much it would cost etc? Wouldn't mind getting the croatian passport stamp before it joins the EU later this year (July 1st to be precise). Although I have been told the train ride is scenic so would not mind that as well.

I've not got any specific plans, just want to get out of the UK fo... more »

Ljubljana to Maribor - No Trains?!

Good morning lovely helpful people

I am trying to book a train to Maribor from Ljubljana on the 30th December and return on the 2nd Jan but on the website www.slo-zeleznice.si I have put the dates in and it comes back with 'Za relacijo na izbrani dan ni povezave!' which seems to translate that there are no trains on these dates! Is this right or am I looking in the wrong place??

Road to logarska dolina- driving difficulty?

Hi

Can anyone tell me what the road to logarska dolina is like (in terms of driving difficulty)? I'll be coming from Ljubljana. Is it very windy with hairpin bends, or just a bit windy? Is it narrow? I'm still getting used to driving on the right, so a little nervous, but really want to go!

Thanks

Train from Paris - Ljubljana

Hi all,

I'm looking at going to Ljubljana from Paris by train next year. It's too soon to buy the actual tickets yet but I wanted to look at tickets already available at random dates this Oct / Nov to get some idea of prices / connections etc. Looking at Slovenska Zelenice they don't seem to offer international train tickets to buy directly but instead redirect to DB Bahn who also don't sell the tickets for the Zurich to Ljubljana part of the journey ("Tariff abroad").

Other than using the agent Raileurope.co.uk (I live in UK) is there a way to buy tickets directly with the train operator running the Zurich to Ljubljana part of this service, or should I just go with raileurope? (cheapest tickets from around £90 on that site one way which seems alright) Any help would be great! Thanks.

Piran to Portoroz

Hey,
I'll be staying in Piran all next week (just chilling out) and was thinking of heading down to Portoroz some days for the beach they have there. If I took some running shoes, is a nice route to jog from one to the other? It looks about 4km or so each way?

Thanks!

Anyone know approx prices per night of mountain huts in slovenia?

Hi,
I'm hoping to go hiking around Triglav in the Julian Alps in October, staying in some of the mountain huts. Does anyone know approximately how much they cost and if there are any discount cards if staying in a few. (I will check that they are open in october before setting off!) Any more tips for hiking and staying in huts would be most welcome...
Thanks

Renting apartent in Ljubljana

Ahoj!

We are a young couple who are moving to Ljubljana, starting from mid-september and around five months forward. We would like to look for, and maybe decide, for a suitable apartment before we go there. We would like to live in a one room apartment, with a rent not over 450 euro/month in/or with good connections to the centre and the economic faculty of University of Ljubljana.

So, which are the best online websites where you could look for apartments? And in what area of the city would you recommend us to live in? Any other recommendations?

Climbing Mt Triglav. Slovenia

Hi all,
I'm interested in a 2 day trek from Bohinj to Mt Triglav.
As I will have to spend the night in a mountain hut - Do I need to bring my own sleeping bag? Are all the huts equipped with linen?
And how about food? Do I have to bring my own dinner and breakfast for the following day?

Many thanks,
Roie

Piran nightlife + beach

Hi guys,
I'm going to be staying in Piran for a week in mid September, just chilling out and reading a lot I hope, Couple of questions:

1) How far would I have to walk to find any kind of sandy beach?

2) Is there any recommendations for a nice bar or restuarant to hang out at in the evenings? And do things close early or is there generally somewhere to get a drink later at night?

Many thanks!
