Geography Now! SLOVENIA 

#Slovenia the Bridge between the Slavic, Germanic and Latin worlds. Try not to fall too much in "Slove" with this episode. You'll be "Pušt-ing" your luck.

Wife: Why are you looking for plane tickets to Slovenia Me: Beer fountain

What does a screaming chicken look like ?? Geography expert: Slovenia

Fun fact: Although Slovenia is located in one of Europe's most unstable and war-torn regions, it was ranked by the Global Peace Index of 2021 as the 5th safest and peaceful country in the world!

Slovenia is the most underrated country in Europe: breathtaking landscape, heartwarming people, beautiful architecture... It will always have a lovely place in my heart. Much love from Hungary 🇭🇺❤🇸🇮

As a Croatian, "Switzerland of Balkans" is probably the most accurate description anyone has ever given Slovenia. I spent a lot of time there, love the country and the people.

felt more safe walking around the roughest part of ljubljana then my small town in the north of england

My computer science teacher in high school was slovenian and he was an absolute beast. Any country which can produce a man like that is good in my eyes

Some years ago, we took a trip by train from Greece to Belgium with my friends and off course we stoped to Slovenia too! We loved the nature and Ljubljana is breathtaking but most importantly: Τhe best looking people in Europe by far, both men and women are soooo beautiful!

As a Slovenian, I can say this is probably one of the best summaries of Slovenia I've seen. And also you did quite well on the pronunciation most of the time. So respect for that, because our language can be a real pain in the ass.

It should be noted that Bohinj lake is not the Largest lake ALL of the time. The largest lake in Slovenia (Cerknica lake) has a habit of disapearing.

Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹♥️🇸🇮 Im still waiting for the pandemic to calm down to finally start a huge roadtrip through slovenia on my motorcycle!!

Can't believe Luka Doncic wasn't mentioned in the sports section. Terrific video !

4 Years of watching... And barb still holding his tiny winny cute-ty funny mini mic ! Is it a mic?

Sending love from Slovakia to our distent twin 🇸🇰❤️🇸🇮

As an American, i have wanted to visit Slovenia for a long time and i think it's very beautiful there. And I'd say Slovenia is way too underrated.

Slovenia is a powerhouse! soso clean and the natural beauty and people are the best. I'm from Switzerland but honestly Slovenias lakes and rivers were much cleaner than ours and you guys take such good care of nature

Ko po letih čakanja dočakaš Slovenijo: "Nocoj so dovoljene sanje, jutri je nov dan"

Imagine getting to have access to the sea. -This post was made by the Moldova gang

As an Italian, one day I would like to visit Slovenia, I am sorry that very bad things have happened between us in the past. Greetings from Palermo (Sicily).

Love slovenia people and country from slovakia 🇸🇰❤🇸🇮 Edit:my man ehy so manny likes i just said 7 words

“When it comes to their best friend however, WHEN IT COMES TO THIER BEST FRIENDS HOWEVER”

As an Austrian it feels weird knowing that Slovenia was in Yugoslavia. They are considered Central Europeans here and it feels like they have been in the EU as long as we have :D (I know it was 9 years later but they are in there for 16(!!) years now!) And they also use Euro as currency^^ Greetings to our Neighbours with their beautiful landscape :)

I found your channel a few days ago and I'm loving it! Cheers from North Carolina

I'm currently planning my trip to Slovenia this August, and I'm so glad you've made a short summary on it! I went to Ljubljana and Bled a few years ago and absolutely fell in love. I have been wanting to return for ages. This time, I want to see more of the country.

Styria(Štajerska): happy and drunk people I can confirm that

Fun fact: city of Izola was once an island and has been there since roman times

Suddenly everything Joker Out says and does makes sense

I moved from Croatia and I absolutely adore this country 🤍

After only doing like 10 countries a year, they did Slovakia and Slovenia in like a week

I’ve been to 65 countries and slovenia is definitely my top 3 countries

I've been to Slovenia only once, but it's spectacular scenes and welcoming people are unforgettable.

Love Slovenia! Greetings from Austria

Geography now: extensive network of roads connecting every region Koroška: Am I a joke to you

You think that the sLOVEnia joke at the end was bad but that's their official tourist motto

I am an Austrian with a crush on Slovenia

These videos always make me want to travel lmao! They always make the countries sound so awesome

Love for Slovenia form Croatia🇭🇷❤🇸🇮

In native Slovene we actually call the Olm ( or bby dragons) a Human fishy. Yes human + fish + Y. It's a thing

Finally!! A great video to explain the lovely place we are in!!!

Pozdrav za moju braću i sestre u Sloveniji 🇭🇷❤️🇸🇮

Slovakia Slovenia : *exist Sweden Switzerland : Finally a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary

Oh, Slovenia That quiet brother who secretly lefts the family and suddenly becomes way richer than the other siblings

Yeah, as Slovene I love Austria

I've just discovered your channel and love it. Thanks for the video!

As a Swiss person, I definitely want to visit Slovenia after watching this video. You guys seem like a Slavic version of us. With better alcohol, so sign me up when Covid time ends.

When listing all the famous Slovenian people you forgot Luka Dončić.

Its fun to watch this from Slovenia

I don't know where the part comes from where you say that Austrians feel more connected to Germans or Swiss. We really don't. Slovenia are like our brothers. The only thing we share especially with Germans is the language. That's it tbh. Greetings from Austria to Slovenia

Big warm hugs to Slovenia! Their people are so nice to Croatian people, we sometimes look up to them.

I'm a Brit living in Slovenia, and oh boy the difficulties for people learning the language... yeah.. tell me about it... It makes you feel especially stupid when like you said 2-3 languages for everyone. The weird thing is it depends which border is the closest to you as to what the 3rd language is... Near Italy? Italian it is! Near Austria? Slide into German! etc. The introduction of a 3rd language of English across the country I’ve found is usually dependent on the age/ generation gap (which with their history makes sense). If someone is under 35 you’ve got about a 90% chance that they speak English. Over 35 is a bit hit and miss. Food is great, wine is fantastic (although other spirits made at home are fun. Got given a home-made bottle with a sticker that said 24%-49% alcohol they didn’t know exactly), and if you start your day early enough you can wake up in the flat farming plains of Europe, go skiing and sunbathing on the coast all in the same day... which is just stupid... The traditions parts you mentioned were a little off from what I've learnt. Each valley (YES VALLEY!!!) has its own traditions and at times language (yes tell me about it); the 212 municipalities give you an idea. The 3-day birth of a child party for example is 1 day where I am based. At weddings it's tradition in some parts for the father of the groom to provide a wheelbarrow (or modern-day trolley) filled with multiple gifts for the mother of the bride but not anywhere else in the country. Traditionally these would-be things like fruits, vegetables (farming powerhouse tractor reference coming through) and alcohol... lots of that. If anyone does read this and wants to ask for experiences feel free 😊 Most of them are amazing 😉

You nailed it dude! Greetings from Piran, Slovenia

I learned a lot about a great country. Thanks!

The video: Slovenia is a fastly developing country with good economy- Slovenians in the background: *sarcastic laughter*

Love Slovenia from Austria!

Greetings from Hungary! I just visited Slovenia 3 weeks ago, and wow...i fell in love with it. Stunning country

22:10 Sunita Williams: her dad (Dr. Deepak Pandya) is Indian, her mom is Slovenian. She was entered for the Boston Marathon in 2007 but since she was on the International Space Station at the time she ran it on a treadmill and so was the first person to run a marathon in space. In 2012 she became the first person to do a triathlon in space. At one time she held the record for most spacewalks by a woman (7) and most spacewalk time by a woman (50 hours and 40 minutes).

Love Slovenia from Solomon Islands.

Some well-known athletes from Slovenia: - Luka Dončič ( in NBA playing for the Dallas Mavs) - Goran Dragič ( in NBA playing for the Miami Heat) - Peter Prevc (Ski jumping Olympic medalist) - Anže Kopitar (ice hockey playing for LA Kings) - Jan Oblak (goalkeeper for Spanish club Atlético Madrid) - Robert Kranjec and Primoz Peterka (won the 4 hills championship in 1997) 8:30 Picture of Bratislava 10:51 Normally we would call it proteus 17:42 Narodna Noša* 17:12 Never heard of any 3-day party after birth or soaking the father with vine (it could be a local tradition). 18:04 Avba* 18:16 France Prešeren* 19:15 Pust* 22:06 Jožef Štefan* edit* added some athletes from the comments

Loved the video, Slovenia sounds like heaven honestly

Love you from Slovakia ❤️️

I love Slovenia so much, I would love to visit it one day ! Big love from your european friends from France 🇫🇷❤️🇸🇮

Pretty sure every Slovene here is just excited that somebody knows we exist lol

Finally someone giving Slovenia some love. I’m from Slovenia so I’m happy seeing my home country getting some love😊🫶

im from western austria (border of switzerland) but i saw alot of simmularities my grandparents also made schnaps haha

6:21 "and it's a really important river" Of course it is it divides *BALKON* and *MITTLEUROPA*

"5000 kinds of fungi" Oh okay neat "One of which is currently on my foot" Gotcha gotch-wait what

Beautiful Slovenia! ❤🇸🇮 Sending love from 🇧🇷

7:06 When I was little, we used to go to croatia on vacation and we would always go thru slovenia. I always wanted to go to the postojna cave and because of that we would always arrive at night in our destination.

Slovenia is terribly underrated, I need to go there someday!

Living only 20 km from both Italy and Slovenia I was so happy to finally see the Slovenia video. It was amazing and I recognized so many of the places. When I was younger we often went out for dinners to Slovenia because it was a lot cheaper and the food was always amazing. Unfortunately, I only recently really started discovering Slovenia. The landscape is very similar to where I am from, but it is in itself different and special. My favorite part so far is the Soča valley especially the drive from Kranjska Gora to Bovec via the Vršič mountain pass.

Love you slowenians from vienna, I was last year in Maribor and Ljubljana and I really enjoyed it❤️❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍

I literally crossed Slovenia by bus to go to Croatia, amazing view, beautiful scenery 😍 next time I will go to visit it properly :)

Best regards to Slovenian people from Poland 🇵🇱🤝🇸🇮

I love how so many slovenians showed up in the comments

Totally undersold the Italian/Venetian influences. Slovenian are passionate (like Italians), raunchy (like other Slavs), and well organised (like Germanic peoples). The place and people are AWESOME.

@geography now, Paul, come visit as soon as you can. Im happy to host and be a guide! God job on the presentation. Slovenia welcomes you

As an Austrian, I feel culturally more affiliated to Slovenia than Germany or Switzerland. Despite the common language, and entertainment market, we don’t have so many things in common with D and CH. Slovenia has many caves and similar landscapes but sunnier, they love wine, they drink schnapps and keep bees, just like we do. Similar dishes. The accordion is so typical for both of our countries, and I think our mindsets must be alike too.

Fun fact: Slovenia wanted to use plain slavic tricolor for their flag but had to freeze their independence for 3 months due to agreement with Yugoslavia. During this time Soviet union collapsed and Russia started using the plain flag, so Slovenia had to add the coat of arms. If Slovenia didn't postpone its independence, they would use the flag that Russia uses today. You can still see the plain flag in some old pictures before independence.

That picture of a lake 6:54 is a Croatian lake. It is located in city named Imotski (my hometown) and it is called Red lake. Fun fact it is the third largest sinkhole in the world.

Well done ... 👍 ... greetings from 🇸🇮

My boyfriend is from Ljubljana, Slovenia and I truly love it here. It’s a shame that people are not really aware of this country (especially in Germany) and I keep telling everyone how awesome it is while being frustrated at them asking “Where is this Slovenia?!?” But honestly, I would not have been able to locate it on a map just three years ago... But seriously: It is breathtaking!

When I visited Slovenia, I had gulyás with gnocchi, and that's a pretty good way to understand what Slovenia is.

Great video about my homeland❤️. But i was lauging to tears when i saw your boxing performance on Triglav. Usually it is more of an ass slapping thing. And this made me laugh even hardery rwalising that this wierd tradition is so common i do not even question it🤣.

i love Slovenia so much, I would love to visit it one day ! Big love from your european friends from Moldova MD ❤SI

I was on holiday in Italy and we were travelling to Croatia to stay there for a bit so we decided to go via Austria and down through Slovenia through the Alps. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!! It was amazing going through the Alps, the landscape was unbelivable and Ljublana was a lovely city too. I hope to go back to Slovenia one day!

Love 🇸🇮Slovenia from Slovakia 🇸🇰💕 Slavic brothers

This video is awesome 😄❤ pozdrav iz slovenije

So happy to see you finally decided to explore our little country. I was a bit sad that you did not include the river Soča into the documentary, since it is the most beautiful river (and the cleanest) in the Europe. Narnia was shot there ;) Mostly every river in the country is drinkable. Just don't try the lakes ;) A tip: Pušt is actually called PUST (kind of a Halloween party in February)

I was sure that Keith would at least mention the huge festival MetalDays in the tiny town of Tolmin.

If Covid had allowed it, Slovenia would have been my holiday destination last year. Greetings from Bavaria! Slovenia is such a beautiful, lovely country.

All the love for this video❤ As a Slovene, i would critisise you for your pronounciation but i get it(Tadej Pogačar is one we still use around my home when we hear about him on the news😅) but i wanted to say thanks foe making Slovenia presentations for tourist friends hella lot easier

If we're talking about our relations with Croatia, Croatia was the first country to recognize us as independent in 1991, and we returned the favour by being the first country to recognize Croatia as independent, I think even before the 4-year war.

I’m from Australia and visited Slovenia. One of the most beautiful nations on Earth! Cost of food is very reasonable too. Would love to go back there and explore more of the country.

Love and hugs to our brothers Slovenians Pozdravi iz Bolgarije 🇧🇬❤️🇸🇮

German dude who loves Slovenia here. Have been in Maribor and Ptuj in 2019, it was really really lovely.

Haha, really good video 👌 Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮 😁

Keith: “Fought a bathtub and won” Well I’d be more surprised if he lost

Big on wine, thousands of beer micro-breweries and homemade Schnapps? Respect from Slovakia :)

I am from Slovenia and in I was in Planica a lot of times because I train ski jumping and on the 200m Jump is a zip-line it looks Very cool but I never went on it.😢
