If you want to live the postcard life this summer, head to Drenznica, about 560 meters in the So\u010da Valley of Slovenia. Surrounded by picturesque hills, meadows, streams and waterfalls, it’ll be a summer adventure you never imagined. The village holds scars of World War I, as So\u010da Valley was a battleground. You will find trenches, tunnels and other remnants of the war to explore. There’s also a private museum collection to learn from. The population here is very small, so it’s an escape you have been dreaming about. The churches here are quaint and spectacular. In fact, no matter where you are in town, you can always hear or see the church. The church bells ring every hour and you will know what time it is.However, if you want to head over to Slovenia, you can do that too. From the Julian Alps with its emerald lakes and breathtaking peaks to charming coastal towns, Slovenia\u2019s beauty is awe-inspiring. Hike through Slovenia\u2019s only national park, Triglav National Park, or check out \u0160kocjan Caves, one of the largest underground cave systems in the world. Fun fact: This natural wonder was formed over 1,000 years ago by the Reka River, which still flows through the caves and is home to many endangered species, including the olm, the largest troglomorphic amphibian in the world! If you\u2019re visiting in June, don\u2019t forget to visit Lake Blend<\/a> to witness the island church in full bloom, surrounded by the Julian Alps. <\/p>\n
