Another very popular Slovenian dish is the Idrija Zlikrofi, which is basically dumplings with bacon and onions (sometimes potatoes or cheese

[kevinobrien]

Well done, good video. My wife and I will visit Slovenia for a week in September and are really looking forward to it

Historically Balkan Penninsula (Balkanhalbinsel) was a term that German geographer Johann August Zeune (1778-1853) first used in 1808 for Ottoman European territories, named after a mountain chain in Serbia and Bulgaria which is named Stara Planina (Old Mountain) or Balkan (Turkish for a mountainous forested terrain, originaly named Haemus), because he thought that this mountains were all over the region, which is wrong.

Balkan Penninsula is also wrong - it doesn't fit with scientific determinaton of a pennisula (wrong ratio between water and land borders). Balkan is in fact a geopolitical term, that is mostly obsolete, it doesn't reflect cultural, historical and geographical realities in their fullest, but only (past) political ones. To make everything short - Balkan is a very vague term that most of people wrongly use as a fixed defenition.

Slovenia, for example, was never under the Ottoman rule and before the end of WW1 (and becoming part of Yugoslavia) was never thought of as a Balkan region. There are many diferent interpretations of Balkan borders, some include more countries (even Italy) and some less.

Serbian geographers in times of Yugoslavia were using rivers Soča, Ljubljanica, Sava and Danube as the border of Balkan (this would make less than one third of Slovenia, or around 24%, a Balkan region) - their goal was to enlarge the borders of Balkan for unitarian purposes. These land borders are disputed with modern geographers, because they broke geographic convention of what a penninsula is.

And lastly, there is no more Yugoslavia, with this fact the political resion for claiming that Slovenia is part of Balkan is also gone. The only argument that could remain is cultural, but Slovenia was for a large majority of time under the influence of Central Europe, especialy Germany, Austria and northern Italy not Byzantine (Eastern Roman) or Ottoman Empire. Slovenes are also not realy a South Slavic nation, we are a mix of West Slavs and South Slavs and Slovenian is not part of Serbo-Croatian language.

Great report! Just a note about a language part. Hungary does not speak slavic language, their language is of another origin, that is Finno-Ugric. Hope to help, take care.

LOVE your channel. You deserve MANY more subscribers. Can you please do the occasional video summarizing your observations? Like top five destinations by a measure of your choice? Thanks!

[larrythumper]

Love your site. The only thing you missed was the horse farm. We stayed there in the hotel and in the morning we got to go to the stables and pet the young horses. In the afternoon we watch a pratice show. This was on of the best parts of this trip.

[stevevinsonhaler]

great video content; very informative!

[ChristosAndreou]

Nice video!Can i get a bus to visit the Lake from the capital? And other destinations?

[valeriebritto]

Hey! Can you tell me about the climate during oct mid? Do I need heavy jackets?

[TheMateyl]

From a Slovenian: a very concise, fair and well researched video, good job!

[Montfortracing]

It would've been nice to know more about the churches there. Personally I'm more interested in visiting the Catholic churches there than the ones in Italy and Spain. I like the less popular destinations they seem more interesting, and they're more affordable.

[ParisianThinker]

Do they have any vegetables, salmon or lettuce? I do not eat meat or sweets.

[angelica-sieradzki]

I thought I saw this country on the map near Czechoslovakia and Austria somewhere

[GyhVhbh]

What about flood there? Is there flood free region?

[rusozawr]

where did he get this map at 0.57? HAHHAHAH that is SO innacurate.

Only issue is that Slovenia and Croatia … have never been Balkan Slavic yes not Balkan .. check your deep history on this ! Other than that a great video.

In 2018, President of Croatia Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović stated that the use of the term "Western Balkans" should be avoided because it does not imply only a geographic area, but also negative connotations, and instead must be perceived as and called Southeast Europe because it is part of Europe.[37]

Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek said of the definition, [38]

This very alibi confronts us with the first of many paradoxes concerning Balkan: its geographic delimitation was never precise. It is as if one can never receive a definitive answer to the question, "Where does it begin?" For Serbs, it begins down there in Kosovo or Bosnia, and they defend the Christian civilization against this Europe's Other. For Croats, it begins with the Orthodox, despotic, Byzantine Serbia, against which Croatia defends the values of democratic Western civilization. For Slovenes, it begins with Croatia, and we Slovenes are the last outpost of the peaceful Mitteleuropa. For Italians and Austrians, it begins with Slovenia, where the reign of the Slavic hordes starts. For Germans, Austria itself, on account of its historic connections, is already tainted by Balkanic corruption and inefficiency. For some arrogant Frenchmen, Germany is associated with the Balkanian Eastern savagery—up to the extreme case of some conservative anti-European-Union Englishmen for whom, in an implicit way, it is ultimately the whole of continental Europe itself that functions as a kind of Balkan Turkish global empire with Brussels as the new Constantinople, the capricious despotic center threatening English freedom and sovereignty. So Balkan is always the Other: it lies somewhere else, always a little bit more to the southeast, with the paradox that, when we reach the very bottom of the Balkan peninsula, we again magically escape Balkan. Greece is no longer Balkan proper, but the cradle of our Western civilization.
