8-Nights Croatia & Slovenia: From the Adriatic to the Alps (Terra & Tu Cultural Journeys) — CALL

Natural Habitat Adventures

OFFER ID 1714926

Explore History, Nature, Traditional Villages & Local Foodways

Discover little-known corners of Europe on an intimate journey through two Balkan neighbors. Cultural heritage runs deep, and we meet artisan producers of wine, honey, olive oil, cheese, truffles and salt, sustaining methods over generations. Explore ancient towns steeped in Roman and Venetian influence. Nature here is stunning, too: the Dinaric and Julian Alps rise above rugged coast and glacier-carved lakes, their karst expanse riddled with caves, gorges and crystalline rivers. Croatia’s shores, speckled with islands, offer idyllic Mediterranean scenery. On a private boat cruise, admire rocky headlands, turquoise bays and red-roofed villages that cascade to the sea. Inland, wander the fairytale landscape of Plitvice Lakes National Park, with its terraced pools, waterfalls and fern-laden forest. In Slovenia, ride a cable car to the top of Triglav National Park and follow trails through alpine meadows. At every turn, you’ll be enchanted by the beauty of place, people and the persistence of tradition.

Featured Destinations

Bled

Bled became an independent, self-governing municipality in 1995. Its natural beauty, points of interest, and advantageous location south of the Alps, make Bled ideal for tourism. The castle, the lake, and the island in the middle of the lake are sights by which Bled is known world-wide. Bled Castle, a silent witness to its former power, stands watch over the town perched on a rock high above the lake. Lake Bled is renowned for exceptional beauty. The forested slopes of the Jelovica and Pokljuka, the Julian Alps with their highest peak Triglav - the simbol of the Slovenian nation - and the Karavanke Mountains, serve as the background to this heavenly spot. In the middle of the lake lies the island with the Church of the Assumption - both of which have a rich history. Inside the church there is the wishing bell from 1534. Bled and its surroundings provide a number of interesting sights worth a visit.

Zadar

Zadar's many promenadors on the shore have a feeling they are on board the starboards of which are being laved by the waves carried by the warm zephyrus. Zadar is a town on the seaside. It is floating on the reef and closing from times a gap between itself and land, a harbor which was a pulse of its history. All the maritime and land ways led to this harbour and on their crossings the ancient marketplace was made, which became the origin of the Town, the very springwell of its life.
