Slovenia holds a long tradition of Carnival celebrations. The door-to-door rounds of Kurenti are a unique feature of the Carnival season and Slovenia and have been as such been put on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
In Slovenia, numerous Carnival events and parades are held all over the country.
Ptuj, Slovenia’s oldest city, holds a long tradition of carnival celebration, featuring unique Carnival masks, Kurenti, which were inscribed on
the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on 7 December 2017. According to folklore, Kurenti chase away the bad spirits of winter by jumping and making noise. If you would like to meet a Kurent up close, visit a traditional Kurentovanje celebration in February, which is considered one of the most interesting carnivals in the world.
Another interesting festival is the Laufarija festival in Cerkno, where Laufarji, the typical characters that wear special masks (larfe) made of linden wood, symbolise the characteristics and weaknesses of particular groups of people. Škoromati, the oldest Carnival masks in Slovenia, come from the villages of the Brkini Hills and the Podgrajsko-Matarsko Plain. If you would like to meet “the Ugly Ones” chasing young people to throw ashes on them and “the Beautiful Ones” visiting homes, dancing, and gathering gifts, join the celebrations in
Drežnica and Drežniške Ravni near Kobarid. Don’t miss out the
Zagorica and
Ponikve Mačkare, where the Carnival customs are mixed with elements of folk theatre. The contrasts between good and evil and “the beautiful” and “the ugly” are shown by the
Vrbica Shrovetide Characters near Ilirska Bistrica. If you visit Kostanjevica na Krki, you will be greeted by Šelmarji, and you can recognise them by their metal head known as the Šelma. In Prekmurje, don’t miss
the Pine Wedding (Borovo gostüvanje). People used to believe that at least one in the village needed to get married in the period before Shrovetide. If there was no wedding, a symbolic Pine Wedding was held. Another place worth visiting is Cerknica, where a massive parade with Carnival masks is held. Events in Cerknica begin on Fat Thursday with a traditional sawing of the witch. In addition to traditional Carnival customs and figures, carnival festivals are held in many large towns. In Ljubljana,
the Dragon Carnival is held and on the coast, the winter is chased away at
the Istrian Carnival.

Subject: Ruta por Alpes Julianos
Hola, vamos a ir del 11 al 15 de octubre a visitar Eslovenia. El aeropuerto al que llegamos es Klagenfurt (Austria) y hemos pensado irnos a Kransjka Gora y alojarnos dos días por la zona. Luego estamos algo perdidos. También nos gustaría visitar Logarska Dolina, pero prefiero que me digáis en esos 4 días qué ruta sería la mejor. No queremos visitar la capital, solo queremos naturaleza y pueblos pintorescos.
Me encantaría que me dijérais rutas para hacer y alojamientos.

@maolmos, te traigo al hilo que ya tenemos para Eslovenia.
Supongo que lo de escandinavos para referirte a los Julianos fue un desliz 
Nosotros hicimos el trayecto al revés, de Eslovenia pasamos a Carintia en Austria y nuevamente a Eslovenia. Puedes verlo en nuestro diario.
En el  Foro de Eslovenia tienes distintos hilos de tu interés.

Hola Maolmos. Cerca de Kranjska Gora hay bastante naturaleza:
- Esta la reserva natural Zelenci (entrada y aparcamiento gratuito). Si solo veis el lago, entonces es una visita muy rápida. Pero había varios senderos, que no sé si valen la pena porque no los recorrí.
- También está la cascada Pericnik (entrada gratuita, aparcamiento 5€).
- Si os alejáis un poco, a unos 40 minutos en coche de Kranjska Gora tenéis la Garganta Vintgar (aparcamiento 7 o 10€, entrada 10€). Eso sí, son unos 25 minutos de Garganta y una vez terminado, más de una hora de vuelta por otro... read more...
