Our journey begins with a meeting at Malta International Airport at 07:00 hrs, where we will gather with our tour leader for check-in before our flight to Zagreb, departing at 09:10 hrs. Upon arrival at Zagreb Airport, we set off on a scenic drive towards Monte Lussari. Once there, those who wish may optionally ascend the mountain by cable car. As it glides above the valley, you will be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the lush alpine peaks, winding trails, and a charming mountain village topped by a tranquil sanctuary.

Known for its picturesque promenade and charming atmosphere, Velden offers the perfect start to a day of exploration. Our journey continues to the remarkable Pyramidenkogel, the tallest wooden observation tower in the world, soaring to a height of 100 meters. From its viewing platform at 850 meters above sea level, we will enjoy an unforgettable 360-degree panoramic view of Carinthia’s breathtaking lakes and mountain landscape—a true highlight of the region.
Next, we head to the historic 17th-century town of Klagenfurt, the cultural heart of southern Austria. During our guided city tour, we will explore its architectural gems and enjoy the lively summer atmosphere of Klagenfurt, known for its open squares, cafés, and lakeside charm. Situated on the eastern banks of Lake Wörthersee, Klagenfurt beautifully blends history, culture, and natural beauty.
In Neuerplatz, the city’s central square, we will encounter the iconic Lindwurm Fountain—a striking winged dragon sculpture inspired by local legend and symbolizing the city’s unique character.

In the afternoon, we travel to the tranquil and equally enchanting Lake Bohinj, nestled within the Julian Alps and renowned for its mirror-like reflections and untouched natural beauty.

We then continue to the heart of the Slovenian Karst region to discover one of Europe’s most extraordinary natural wonders — the Postojna Cave.
Our adventure begins aboard a special electric cave train, taking us deep into this stunning subterranean realm. Along the way, we will also encounter the fascinating “human fish” (Proteus anguinus), a rare and mysterious amphibian that has adapted to life in complete darkness.
In the afternoon, we return to the peaceful surroundings of Lake Bled, where a warm dinner and overnight stay at the hotel await

This relaxing excursion offers unforgettable photo opportunities and a refreshing experience immersed in nature before returning to the hotel to continue the day’s programme.
Itinerary Overview: Day 7 – Ljubljana: The Elegant Capital of Slovenia
After breakfast, we set off to explore Ljubljana, the enchanting capital of Slovenia — a city that has stood at the crossroads of Roman, Germanic, and Slavic civilizations since ancient times.
Our guided walk will take us through the historic Old Town, nestled between the castle hill and the tranquil Ljubljanica River. As we wander its cobbled streets, we will admire a harmonious blend of Baroque elegance and Secessionist architecture, brought to life through the visionary works of Jože Plečnik, Slovenia’s most celebrated architect.
Following our stroll, you will have some free time to explore at your own pace — whether you choose to browse the shops and boutiques of BTC City, Slovenia’s largest shopping centre, or enjoy a coffee along the riverbanks, Ljubljana offers something for everyone.
In the late afternoon, we return to our resort at Lake Bled for a relaxing evening, with dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

After a leisurely breakfast, enjoy some final free time to relax or take in the peaceful surroundings of Lake Bled one last time. Soon after, we will begin preparing for our journey home, loading our luggage onto the coach and bidding farewell to the enchanting landscapes of Slovenia.
