Personal comments:
This is a very beautiful country... we only really visited Ljubljana and Ptuj, but they're both great. Can recommend the street art in a former military prison in Ljubljana and we loved the thermal spa at Ptuj. Found it a little difficult to find places to stop in a motorhome out of season
