Let's go to take you to the world of the most famous Slovenian myths and legends. It is up to you to find their trails and explore the beauty of Slovenia on the wings of your imagination.
The Ljubljana Dragon
You have probably heard the legend about the Greek mythological hero Jason and the Argonauts, who stole the Golden Fleece and fled across the Black Sea, the Danube and Sava Rivers to the Adriatic Sea and continued to Greece. But you perhaps did not know that they also stopped in the Ljubljana Marshes. A fearless dragon lived there, but Jason beat him. Despite this, the dragon left his marks all around Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Can you find them? Here are some tips:

The Counts of Celje
There are many legends and stories known about the Counts of Celje. The most popular one is about the unfortunate love between Count Frederick II and Veronika of Desenice. Frederick’s father Hermann II forbade their love, locked Frederick in the castle tower and ordered the drowning of Veronika. As the legend says, Frederick was rescued by his loyal squire who brought him food through the hidden passage.

King Matjaž
The legend of King Matjaž tells a story about the good king who ruled during the times of Carantania. He ruled during the golden era in the present-day Carinthia, which other sovereigns didn't like. So, they sent an army to fight the good king. King Matjaž and a hundred of his soldiers retreated to the hidden cave under Mount Peca and sat behind the stone table. The legend says that Matjaž will return and eliminate injustice from the world when his beard wraps around the table nine times and when a linden tree grows in front of the entrance to the cave in winter. Until then, you can explore his kingdom in many different ways.

Erazem of Predjama
Erazem of Predjama was a brave knight who fought the emperor and turned into a kind of Slovenian version of Robin Hood. He fled from the emperor's army to Predjama Castle where he resisted their attacks for over a year. He received food and other necessities through the hidden passages of the Karst underground, but was later betrayed by one of his servants. The latter gave a sign to the emperor’s soldiers, who surprised Erazem, shot stone balls at him and killed him. But Erazem's spirit lives on.

Goldenhorn
The Kingdom of the Goldenhorn stretches throughout the Julian Alps. According to a legend, a golden-horned chamois used to rule this world, and his horns were the key to an immense treasure. Once upon a time, a young hunter from the Trenta Valley, who was unfortunate in love, shot at the Goldenhorn, but Triglav flowers grew from the drops of the animal’s blood and eating these gave it tremendous vitality. The Goldenhorn pushed the hunter over the precipice and in its anger destroyed the kingdom with its horns. But the treasure remains hidden in the Triglav mountain range. Find it in many natural beauties and wonders.
Peter Klepec
Learn the tale of the weak shepherd Peter Klepec, who was not in the good graces of his peers. When he protected the mountain fairy from the scorching sun, she thanked him by giving him supernatural powers. The boy managed to tame the wicked shepherds and also the Turks who later invaded across the Kolpa River. According to folk tradition, Peter Klepec came from Osilnica, a place surrounded by the vast Kočevsko forests along the upper reaches of the Kolpa River. Step into his land and experience it in your own way.

Pegasus, the winged horse in Rogaška Slatina
Rogaška Slatina is famous for its unique mineral water Donat Mg. Did you know that, according to the legend, Greek mythology is also connected with the discovery of this exceptional well? The Greek God Apollo told the winged horse Pegasus where to strike its hoof and open the healing well. With its discovery, Pegasus became an important part of Rogaška Slatina, as is proven by its statue in the town.

Legend of the sunken bell
The legend of the sunken bell tells a story about the noble lady Poliksena, who, while grieving for her husband, collected all her gold and silver and used it to cast a bell for the chapel on Bled Island. But, while the bell was being transported to the island, a storm came over the lake and sunk the boat carrying the bell. The sad widow left Bled and went to a convent in Rome. When the Pope heard her story, he ordered that a new bell be made and placed in the steeple of the church on Bled Island. And this bell is said to have special powers.

@Rugamu Ver Celje y Maribor en el mismo día puede ser mucho, y no es que sean dos mega urbes, pero las dos en el mismo día puede que no de tiempo. Desde Maribor puedes ir a Ptuj, una pequeña ciudad medieval cercana. En el mismo día Maribor+Ptuj te da tiempo.
Haces una ruta de ida y vuelta, vas hacia el este, para volver al oeste. No se que quieres hacer en Triglav (muchas rutas, supongo), pero puede interesarte quitarle una noche y desde Maribor subir hacia Graz (Austria, una ciudad bastante interesante) y pasar un día. Luego puedes ir por Klagenfurt hacia Triglav o Bled/Skofja Loka.

Hola!
A ver si me podeis echar una mano.... Iremos a Eslovenia el proximo mes de Septiembre y tenemos duda en cuanto al alojamiento.
No disponemos de muchos días, llegamos a Ljubiana el día 14 a media mañana en bus desde Venecia. La idea es pasar ese día por la ciudad y al día siguiente alquilar coche y conocer el pais. Tenemos hasta el día 19 que nos iremos en tren a Munich.
La duda es si lo ideal es hacer base en Ljubiana y moverse a diario desde ahí, o si merece mas la pena hacer noche en diferentes lugares....

Hola Luis,
Pues depende de la idea que lleves y lo que quieras ver.
Puedo decirte lo que yo hice en más o menos los mismos días, tenía las mismas dudas que tú y al final decidimos hacer base en Liubliana, elegimos una casa en las afueras con aparcamiento, un acierto. Desde allí dedicamos un día a la zona de Bled (Castillo, Vintgar y cascada) , el segundo a Cuevas de Skocjan y Castillo de Predjama y el tercer día a la pequeña porción de costa (Piran, Koper ..) Nos quedó un día entero y dos medios para dedicar a la capital más lo que nos iba sobrando del resto. La verdad es que... Leer más ...

Muchas gracias moralinda!
También hemos encontrado un alojamiento con aparcamiento muy cerca de la ciudad y creo que será la mejor opción al ser las distancias tan cortas...
