Posted by (Washington State) on

September planning -
The beginning and end are set, Seeking mid-trip advice. A brief look at our itinerary:

From Munich via train…
Ljubljana -3 nights booked (car pick up),

Lake Bohinj -2 nights booked-

3 nights open/not booked following Julian Alps drive w/ WW1 Museum visit.
Interested in filling days with cave visits, wine country,

Thoughts about where to base for all 3 nights? Scenic, and more quaint than glitzy! Then onward to Plitvice NP.

Plitvice Lakes - 1 night

Split - 2 nights (car drop off) *hoping to get tickets to 9/27 match at Puljud Stadium.

Dubrovnik - 3 nights booked
Fly out…
Thanks to all!

Have you booked the car? When we did a similar trip, drop-off fees in other countries were very high. Consider picking up the car in Zagreb, then driving to Slovenia. We stayed in Radovljica so we could easily access Lake Bled (meh) and great areas closer to Lake Bohinj. We took the train to Ljubliana for one day, that was enough for us. Consider Skocjan Caves and Predjama Castle. Book the Plitvice tickets for as early as you can.

Thank you. Yes, the car situation isn’t ideal but it helps us maximize time in an area we aren’t likely to return to.

We will day trip to Radovljica from Ljubljana and at some point explore the castle and caves as you suggested.

Mostly need to figure out where to stay for 3 nights between Kobarid and Plitvice. Perhaps Vipava Valley 2 nights and Piran 1 night?

Deb - For late Sept -- same timing as our travels from Cologne, GE;
Did you decide where you would base for 3 nights? Based on this convo seeing that Lake Bohinj is preferred as a base. Planning flights and train from Germany now. Thanks!
