Caravanning may not be as popular a way of travel as it once was, but the heart of Slovenia is doing all it can to make it far more attractive option. A vast network of caravan rest areas have been set up throughout the region, offering something different to prospective caravan travellers. 18 rest areas provide homemade food and overnight accommodation, and nine more offer just the local homemade delicacy option. There are also over 40 rest stops where travellers can stop, reset and enjoy some of the local food and nature before continuing on their way.

Not only is this a boon for the caravan tourism industry, but truly what better way to taste and buy homemade products than when in the very house in which they were created? Numerous cycling and hiking trails pass by the rest areas, giving the opportunity to explore the glorious nature of this beautiful region.
