SLOVENIA: The Bradt Travel Guide.

A full-length guide to this little-known corner of Europe, once part of the larger republic of Yugoslavia, but now an independent country in its own right. In addition to full practical information and extensive coverage of the capital, Ljubljana, the Bradt guide explores those areas off the beaten track including wine-growing regions, hiking in the Julian Alps, discovering the caves of the Karst region, white-water rafting and skiing. A strong emphasis on culture and history will be complemented by in-depth information on natural history and the environment.
