If you are not camping have a look at Pri Marku Tourist Farm, Grngrob, Slovinia. Not far from Lake Bled. Family hotel run by lovely people, good food and reasonable prices.
Stayed at Hotel Piran too
Lovely beachside town
Hi Gerard,
We will be staying in Postojna and Ljubljana this year on our way to/from the Croatian Islands.
When we first visited Slovenia in 2011 we stayed in Bled - it's beautiful, but very touristy/busy - but we found the road from Bled to the west up to Lake Bohinj - only 15 miles or so, but lovely scenic road and great swimming (if that's your thing!) in the lake.
Also, at the far end of the lake you can walk up to the waterfall Slap Savica - worth the effort.
The lake is in the middle of the Triglavski National Park so is surrounded on 3 sides by stunning mountains.
Next time we were in Slovenia we stayed in Stara Fuzina, a small traditional village near to Lake Bohinj.
The Mangart road is well worth the effort - first time we tried it we found out it was still closed with snow short of the top - we found out later Jockser of this parish had also tried it that same day. Next time we made it - on a beautiful day.
If your at Mangart Road you'll probably do the Sella Predil which has an old fortress at the top of the pass. On the north side of the pass is the stunning Lago de Predil which has a nice beach and you can swim in the "refreshing" water.
Lots of great roads as mentioned by others - like the Vrsic etc......................ENJOY

Just a thought - but should this thread not be in the "Balkans" section rather than the "Baltic" section???

You are absolutely right!
