Slovenia - Skoflje

Today we drove from Bled toward the Slovenian coast. We ended up in a little village called Skoflje which is just south of the Soca Valley in western Slovenia. 
Slovenia is blessed with over 7000 caves and the highlight of our drive today was our visit to the Skocjan Caves (Skocjanske jame) which were listed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1986. They were awesome!  And to top it off, when we exited (after 90min of walking) through the natural cave entrance we were rewarded with an amazing waterfall from the River Reka which runs through the cave system.
Our campsite felt like we were in someones backyard and we were welcomed as such. Our lovely hosts shared some home brew Apertif’s and then cooked us a traditional Slovenian soup for dinner. After dinner we  chatted until the late hours also enjoying some of their homemade salami, sheep’s cheese, and wine!
