Slovenia

Wellness Adventure Retreat | Slovenia

June 12 - June 19, 2020

Slovenia is a small country located in South Central Europe in the Julian Alps and northern coast of the Adriatic Sea—sharing borders with Italy, Austria, Croatia, and Hungary. Though smaller in size, Slovenia is grand in outdoor activities, diverse landscapes, natural beauty, and culture. This country is truly nature's playground. Explore snow-capped mountains, large caves, wooden shepherds huts, green rolling hills, emerald rivers and lakes, baroque (Austrian) and Roman (Italian) architecture, the alpine of the three-peaked Mount Triglav (2,864 m), traditional Slovenian carnivals and masks, lakeside castles, and an historic island church to name a few.
