If you’ve heard of Slovenia you probably heard of Bled, super beautiful landscape, capital city Ljubljana that is hard to pronounce and that we have some pretty great athletes. But here are 8 things that no one tells you about this small but mighty country.

Hi! My name is Barbara, most people call me Barb. I am originally from a small country called Slovenia but I currently work & live in California. I started making videos about my country as a way to stay connected to it but later on also started to share my experience in the US as a foreigner. This channel documents things I have learned, cultural shocks, cultural differences, life in Slovenia and abroad and occasional stream of thought videos. If you like the content, feel free to subscribe! :)
Thank you!

The story goes something like this. A long time ago, God decided where each nation would live. The Slovenians patiently waited their turn... and waited some more... and waited some more, and finally came last. Since all the most beautiful corners of the world had already been given to others, God said: You know, because you were so patient, I'll give you the part of the world I wanted for myself. And so the Slovenians got paradise on earth!

I’ve traveled to Slovenia 3 times for total of 35 days. Yes, the country is extremely beautiful. I traveled via railroads, buses and even rented a car for couple days. The Slovenians are very gracious hosts and enjoyed my visits. Not once did I have a bad or unpleasant experience. My only regret is not making it to Maribor. Maybe next time. Because the country is so small, it doesn’t take very long to get to those places of interest. Whitewater rafting and their network of zip lines on the Soča River is a lot of fun. Then they have a beer fountain in Žalec, the heart of hops country where you can sample various craft brews. The tap water in Slovenia is the best in the world with no chemical taste at all.

Did they emigrate between WW1 and WW2? That was the time of big poverty - as a result of WW1 as well as being part of Italy at that time, which was not doing well economically and politically. Add the opression of Slovenes by the fascist regime and you have good reasons to leave. My father is from Jelšane and I my grandmother told me that in the 1930s there was such poverty that there were hardly any marriages for a couple of years, as young people could not afford setting up a new home and starting a family. But there were hard times before and after, too. Both paternal great-grandfathers left for the USA before WW1, hoping to send some money home, but they returned penniles during Great Depression. At least the period in the US saved them from being drafted in WW1 and sent to the front to fight for Kaiser und König. Most people lived of subsistence farming and that is tough because it is karstic terrain (shallow, rocky soil, no surface water) at quite high elevation (no vineyards!). The saving factor was the main road and relative vicinity of the railway, so you could take some produce to the farmers' market in Rijeka. To say nothing about the smuggling...

It’s amusing to walk in the mountains during summer and greet people you encounter along the way, hearing greetings in many different foreign languages. However, please remember to check the weather beforehand and avoid going into the mountains wearing sneakers or flip-flops. Our volunteer mountain rescue teams often have to assist irresponsible tourists.
@nirfz
@nirfz 2 ай бұрын
Well, said. Very important "consumer advice"! I guess, the sneakers-, flip-flop-, dress shoe- hiking brigade are a p.i.t.a for all of the alpine countries. (we have the same trouble in austria) Would add: there is no shame in turning around on a hike when common sense calls for it. Better to try another time than to never ever get the chance againn, or to injure yourself out of pride. (No matter if it's the weather, if you underestimated the trail, overestimated your stamina... turn around when it still makes sense = early enough to avoid injuries or death. Mountains and their weather don't care about hikers, they do not soften or flatten or "nicen" for people.)

And don't forget the Chocolate Festival every April in the beautiful little storybook town of Radovljica. If you're there outside of April, still stop by the town, check out their Beekeeping or Alchemy museums and the amazing chocolate shop in town. It's only about 10 minutes from Bled, so is a good place to stay if you're just swinging by Bled for a day.

2:00 Let me tell you a story about the storms in Slovenia. I experienced a wild storm during my stay at Koper last year summer, never saw something like that before. It was funny because before my trip, I told my friends "oh, it would be interesting to witness a storm at the sea", because where I'm from, we don't have any sea (at least we have storms, lol). And guess what. The very second day of my vacation I have experienced this storm and it was so wild that I almost ended up stuck in the car in Portorož, because those streets were flooded. Next thing you know, later that day I returned back to my hotel in Koper just to find out that the elevator shaft was flooded and I couldn't use the elevator, which was a bit unfortunate as I am a wheelchair user, lol. 😂 Firstly I was told that the elevator is going to be fixed next day but I insisted that it must be done that day, otherwise I couldn't sleep anywhere. So the hotel staff called a repairer all the way from Ljubljana to come and fix it. Finally, out of 7 days spent at Slovenian coast, there was 3 days of storms and I didn't have a time to visit all places I wanted. That being said, I'm very hopeful next year I'll come back. 😎

One little detail about the attire: the one displayed here was the traditional attire of Gorenjska, the Alpine part of the country. It's the most elaborate and luxurious, it became quite well-known in certain parts of Europe (basically in the countries that used to belong to the Holy Roman Empire) thanks to the uber-popular Avsenik Brothers' Band (the 'Oberkrainer' as they were known in German-speaking countries), so we consider this to be the 'national costume'. But as you can see, in reality, there is no such thing, and there is a great variety of regional and even more local attires, which belong to two types, broadly speaking: the Northern (Carniola, Styria and Carinthia) and the Southern (Prekmurje, Bela krajina and the Littoral), the latter type being much less elaborate (simpler black and white combinations) and thus cheaper.

A couple of things: Piran on the coast #1 - great old Venetian town. Triglav - almost anybody who can walk can go to the top. There are even cables to hold onto, and the mountains of Slovenia are some of the most accessible trails on Earth. And the Dolomites are easy to get to via the trains of Austria. This region was part of the Hapsburg empire forever so access through Austria is easier, faster and beautiful - if you like mountains...

The Slovenian coastline may be short, but you could easily spend a full day just in Piran

5:20 the flip side is that, outside big cities and working days, public transportation is quite terrible. If you want to move around in the countryside on weekends, car is your only option. Trains are abysmal and busses are only meant for students and workers.

8:19 What's the difference between Refoshk and Shkurek? Are both red?
@Rosafanta
@Rosafanta 2 ай бұрын
Refošk is a variety from Primorska. It is very dark red, almost black. If you spill it on your clothes, you might as well throw them out, because it will never wash off. Ščurek (meaning cockroach) is a winery in Goriška Brda (arguably Slovenia's premier wine growing region), making a full selection of very good wines.

-Polite greeting people you come across is a common thing in the alps i would say. (And the slovenian mountains are kind of part of the alps. The south east end of it.) And from another alpine country, my advice to hikers: get yourself hiking footwear before hiking. Not just some flat soled shoes you slip off the rocks or in slippy dirt. There are enough "mountain unworthy tourists" that need recovery each year. Please prepare yourself, even if you think it's just a 2-3 hours hike. Mountains don't give a sh... They do not change for anyone. -žganci seems to me like what we call Haidensterz. But then again we shared a country for a few centuries ;-) (and i have read that you have "styrian style žganci" which then would be the same thing we have.) -The wine consumption: I would guess it is the same why the czechs, austrians and germans are the top3 for many years in beer consumption per capita: Not just the real inhabitants consuming it, but tourism. Many tourists that visit try and consume the beverages common or special in the country they visit. Or let's phrase it that way: they like to consume the beverages the country they visit is known for. And that ups the number of liters per capita more than people would think. (We saw that during the pandemic in the first year where travelling was at a real minimum. All those numbers dropped. (And that while alcoholism and drinking increased among the residents. I have seen it "on the road too" people carried way more beer out of supermarkets during that time, than they ever did in normal times. But i think it went back to "normal" in the meantime.) -The last point i think is applicable mostly for non-EU citizens. (i mean the visa and staying permits, not the language, for the language part it doesn't matter if from inside or outside the EU.)

Dual form is not the only difference. It's even more complicated. We say things differently for one - single two - dual three and four - no idea how to call this version five and above - multiple or plural

3:22 In such a hut, you can eat food you brought and you can also buy food, right? What about drink, same for that?
@slomuzikaofficial
@slomuzikaofficial 2 ай бұрын
In summer, people mostly sit on wooden benches outside in front of the huts. Food and drinks can be brought along, but many bring their own food and then order warm mountain tea. It is also highly recommended that everyone takes their waste back down, as it otherwise has to be transported by helicopter, which is expensive. The prices of drinks and food are mostly set by the mountaineering association and are very affordable. 0,25 liters of hot tea costs around 2 euros, and a beef stew around 10 euros (in 2024).
