Top 10 regions: 3. Julian Alps, Slovenia.Žiga Sancin
Blessed with natural splendour in abundance, Slovenia has been crafting itself a well-deserved reputation for clean, green travel. To supplement its outdoorsy appeal, quirky accommodation is springing up in the scenic countryside, and clever locals are embracing and redefining one of the travel world’s hottest crushes: glamping (or glamorous camping).Carolyn Bain (Lonely Planet)
The journey is a spectacular tour of Slovenia’s upland highlights, climbing through mountain villages along the Soča River, passing through superb Alpine scenery near Lake Bohinj, and on past Lake Bled’s iconic castle. Steam specials ply the route in summer, while characterfully dilapidated regional trains run year-round. Some services continue south from Nova Gorica to Sežana, from where you can hop onwards to Trieste via a historic tram.Tom Hall (Lonely Planet)
