One Of The Best Secret Spots In Slovenia


I guess there are many secret spots in Slovenia that are worth visiting but this one is my favourite. Needless to say, it is not really a secret among locals but don't expect it to be a tourist trap or to see more than 5 people hanging out there. The combination of turquoise water, trees, plants, a sandy beach and the view of the mountains is what makes the spot so special! Before telling you where to find it, I'd first like you to know, why I find it so special.

What's the best way to enjoy the secret place in Slovenia?

Bring a hammock and read a book

Although I haven't brought my own hammock yet it is something I'm going to do next time I'll be there. I see myself hammocking and reading an awesome book. The tranquility definitely supports that.

Observe the animals

The last time we visited this amazing place, we were surrounded by various bird species. This docks were running away from the dog which carefully entered the water. Funny moments..

Do some yoga or meditate

Practising yoga indoor is awesome but finding a quiet place outside with a meditative effect is even better. This place meets all the criteria for a perfect meditative and yoga place. Come and find your inner peace!

Slackline

Do you slackline? If yes, this is a great spot to practise your balance with a picturesque background!

Take a quick swim

Thanks to its clear emerald-water colours, this place is among us locals a great spot for a quick refresh during the summertime! I should mention, the water is not particularly warm, in contrary, expect some glacial temperatures! :=)

How to get to the secret spot in Slovenia?

By car

The best way to get to Sotocje is by car. Drive to Tolmin, than head south on Gregorciceva ulica toward Kosovelova ulica. Continue onto Mestni trg and then onto ulica Petra Skalarja. Continue straight onto Dijaska ulica and then turn right to stay on Dijaska ulica. Park your car at Dijaska ulica 18, 5350 Tolmin and take the 5 min walk to Sotocje.

By train

It's not the easiest way to reach the place by train but it is possible though. Coming from Ljubljana, take the train to Most na Soci via Jesenice. From Most na Soci take a taxi to Dijaska ulica 18, Tolmin and walk the 5 min to Sotocje.

    Awesome! I´m just plotting my upcoming road trip through Slovenia and this place looks wonderful! Honestly, I don´t know how I´ll manage to see it all - so many gorgeous places in your beautiful country :) I´d love to see Ljubljana, Bled and Bohinj and it seems Sotocje will make it to our itinerary, too. Btw, do you have any suggestions for beach spots in Slovenia? I wouldn´t mind if these were secret, too - I don´t like crowded beaches :) Thank you! :)

    Hey Monika,

    it's nice to hear you're visiting Slovenia! Sotocje has to be on your bucket list ;)
    Go kayaking or rafting on the Soca river or try the zipline in Bovec!

    Regarding the secret beach spot - I guess Izola will be a good choice. There is this famous beach resp. bay called Simonov zaliv. Don't stop there. When standing there, facing the sea, turn left and walk along the coast until you reach the end of the paved path. Put off your shoes and continue walking. You'll have to climb some stones until you reach some white stoned beaches. Enjoy!
    If you prefer sand beaches, Portoroz will be the best place to go. But it can get pretty crowded.

    Stay tuned, more posts about Slovenia will follow!

    HACK VANISH RECOVERED MY LOST 19.78 BITCOIN AND AIDED ME FIX MY CREDIT REPORT

    In Dec, 2021, I invested the sum of 19.78 BTC with a fake blockchain impostor I met online, all the money I had saved up since 2014 got stolen just within a Month, my whole life almost crumbled, to crown it all my FICO score was so bad that I couldn't even afford securing a loan to help my kids, but everything became better after I joined a forum online where I met people testifying about HACK VANISH, a hacker who has been helping thousands of people all over the world. I decided to reach out to him via the following contact shared on the platform Text/Call/WhatsApp: + 1 (747) 293-8514, Email: hackvanish@ gmail. Com, they responded and requested for all necessary details needed in carrying out my JOB, to my greatest surprise my bitcoin was recovered and my credit report fixed, FICO score was boosted to 783 across all 3-credit bureau's, all negative items cleared just within 8 days. I can't stop expressing my profound gratitude to this great team of hackers, I strongly recommend them to anyone in need.

    My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can't hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail. I saw a post and testimonial about the good things Dr Emu has been doing so I decided to give it a try. though he is always a busy man but when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored really just like he said my marriage was restored since then I am happy and i am living happily i am so grateful to Dr Emu you can always email him here: {emutemple@gmail.com} or WhatsApp: {+2347012841542}

    I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

    RECOVER YOUR SCAMMED BITCOIN WITH ULTIMATE HACKER JERRY.

    Hello everyone, I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm, I reached out to them on their terms of investments and invested $155,000 which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it was time to retire my profits, I got to know the company was bogus, they kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience then requested to have my money back, they refused to answer nor refund my funds, not until an old family friend introduced me to Ultimate Hacker Jerry, I reached out and after submitting my case, Ultimate Hacker Jerry was swift to action and within 36 hours I got back my funds with the due profit. I couldn’t contain the joy in me. I urge you guys to reach out to Ultimate Hacker Jerry on their support email:  (Ultimatehackerjerry@seznam.cz)   or WhatsAp  +1(520)2 827151  ).
