[Croatia to Slovenia / 2 nights and 3 days to two World Heritage Sites]
Croatia🇭🇷 and Slovenia🇸🇮 are not very familiar to people in Japan.
Both are small countries in Europe, but they have a lot of charm! ✨
We will introduce how to travel between these two countries and the World Heritage sites in each country where you can feel the power of nature.
◯How to travel from Croatia to Slovenia
You can travel by train or bus, but the bus is the cheapest and recommended.
There are more than 10 buses a day from the central bus terminal in Zagreb, the capital, and the journey takes about two and a half hours.
You will arrive in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.
💰: 5.3 to 16.5 euros
⚠️If you have an international driver's license, renting a car is the easiest way!
It will also make it much easier to make detours and travel to the spots you want to go to.
[World Natural Heritage]
◯Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
📍Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia
Access🚌: About 2 hours by bus from Zagreb Central Bus Terminal
Bus: 12-18€
Ticket: 10-40€ (depending on the season)
This natural heritage is a national park rich in nature where you can see 16 lakes connected by waterfalls.
The emerald green lakes are very beautiful and cleansing to look at.
It is a very large park, and you can get around by shuttle bus or boat after paying the entrance fee.
You can enjoy drinking beer while looking at the rich nature, hiking while snacking on sweets, etc.😊
⚠️You will be walking quite a distance, so wear comfortable shoes.
◯Škocjan Caves – Slovenia – 📍Matavun 12, 6215 Divača, Slovenia
Access🚌: About 1.5 hours by bus from Ljubljana
Bus: 7€
Ticket (with explanatory tour): 15-25€ (depending on the season)
This is a huge underground cave system.
In this cave, which was carved by the river, you can see halls and limestone caves over 100m high, as well as a river that actually flows through the cave.
It's a shame that you can't take photos inside the cave, but there are also ruins of stairs and bridges that were built in the past, so it's worth seeing.
⚠️ This is also a 2-hour walking tour, and the inside of the cave is wet and slippery, so wear comfortable shoes.
Both World Heritage sites have magnificent nature that can't be conveyed by photos alone, so it's definitely a place you should visit in person.
Croatia and Slovenia are easy to travel between, so if you spend a day in each, you can take your time to see the World Heritage sites far from the cities😊
