Called "Europe in Miniature," Slovenia has it all. The stunning Julian Alps offer a slice of Switzerland, romantic lake Bled with its fairytale castle rising from its center embodies the romance of medieval Europe and tales of knights and chivalry, its small but lovely sliver of coast along the Adriatic is reminiscent of spectacular coastlines in Italy, and its capital of Ljubljana - with it stunning architecture and crown of towering mountains - embodies the best of historical European cities.

Take a trip with writer Jim Thompson and photographer Ryker Lomas to Slovenia's capital city of Ljubljana and it's crowning jewel, Bled where a fairytale castle stands guard over a romantic wonderland.

And that, is only the beginning of the treasures to be found in this lovely, relatively unknown (at least to most American tourists) country.
