What to Expect

There will be NO SET itinerary for this trip as I prefer to keep a close eye on weather forecasts throughout the tour to determine our destination and make sure we have the best possible weather that may suit a specific place. We will shoot sunrise and sunset on all days while in Slovenia. Locations are all quite close so luckily we wont have to spend hours in the bus from place to place. As sunrise is around 7am this time of the year we will be able to shoot sunrise and come back for breakfast at the guesthouse, have a few hours break to chill, then heading out for the remainder of the day from aboit midday until sunset, which is at 5.30pm. We are ideally located to shoot the absolute best of what Slovenia has to offer with amazing hill top churches, spectacular gorges and amazing mountains and waterfalls. Food and drink is NOT very expensive in Slovenia, given we have breakfast included makes it even better. This promises to be a tour not to be missed…

We will base oursleves in a beautiful, spacious and brilliantly located self catering apartment just a couple of minutes walk from Lake Bled. Each person will have their own room which is comfy, warm and spacious with towels and shower gel/shampoo included.

I will arrive to Ljubljana Airport at 12.45pm on the 15th of February. Please be in Ljubljana Airport no later than 2pm. We will arrive back to the airport at 5am on the 20th of February. (This is an estimate, should times change drastically , I will inform you as soon as flights are released)

Please Note: Should this trip not go ahead due to Covid19, we will reschedule or you will be issued with an online voucher for the full amoiunt including the deposit to use on any future tour or workshop.

Transportation

Weather

The weather in Slovenia can be anything from mild, calm weather to cold, snowy weather, so prep is key, although in April it can be quite pleasant with highs of 16/17 degrees C. Warm clothes are a must here, as temperatures can drop suddenly when the sun goes down. A hat, scarf and gloves wouldn’t be a bad idea either just to be sure. This promises to be an amazing week of photography in a such an stunning part of the world. We hope to see you there.
