Slovenia is the kind of place most people would probably struggle to locate on a map. But once you found it- nestled between Austria, Slovakia, Italy, Croatia and Hungary, you’d quickly realize that its location right in the middle of Europe, surrounded by a diverse bunch of neighbors, means that Slovenia is an endlessly intriguing place. It has the spectacular scenery of Switzerland (those gorgeous Julian Alps), a varied food culture influenced by Italy and Eastern Europe (and executed to perfection at Hisa Franko), several wine regions with top-notch reds and whites and an interesting and well-preserved history. In the past few years, Hisa Franko’s well-deserved success has secured Slovenia a place on the culinary map, and that in itself is reason to visit this underrated and fascinating country. Check out the Slovenia travel page, with all the best the country has to offer, and be prepared to eat like you’ve never eaten before- and hike it all off on an alpine trail. Enjoy!
