For a bit of nostalgia, go to Štanjel Castle, overlooking the Vipava Valley. Fortified against Ottoman attacks in the 17th century, this town suffered great damage during World War II. Slowly renovated during the subsequent years, the town remains an important reminder of history, with its medieval castle, parish church, and garden, which overlooks the karst landscape below it.

A beautiful medieval town, the weather wasn’t perfect when we got there, would love to visit it in the future.

Stayed in the castle overnight on our hike across Slovenia. It was quiet and comfortable. Access to WiFi and our suites have kitchens and bathrooms. Could not ask for much more.

The approach to is reveals a spectacular hill topped with the castle. The tour guide, Bogdan, was amazingly informative and very helpful. The town itself is a monument to historic places and the views across the valley are truly beautiful. A beer at the restaurant is recommended!
