/ Slovenia
Alpine lakes, caves and emerald nature
Slovenia packs snow-capped Alps, postcard lakes, giant karst caves and an Adriatic coast into a small country. Ljubljana, a green, pedestrian-friendly capital, charms with its bridges and riverside cafés. A safe, green and welcoming Schengen country, it is an ideal destination for a Cameroonian traveller who loves nature and walking, with short distances and varied landscapes all within a single week.
