Slovene Day in Radovljica

Radovljica is a small town in 10 minutes by bus from Bled lake.
We listened there Slovene folk music and admired on dunsing couples in national costumes.

It’s fine to visit this old small town with its renaissance-style houses and beekeeping museum devoted to the Slovenian passion for bees and honey in the old royal castle Thurnovgrad.
