In fact, after a few days I managed to lose the book. (Some swine picked it up in on a cable car near Lake Bohinj!). I didn't hesitate to phone up Lonely planet and find out where I could get a copy locally. The next day I drove to the capital Ljubljana to buy it once more and consequently rescue my holiday!


Incomplete description of Slovenian regions   October 10, 2002

I red the new edition of this travel guide with curiosity. In the previous editions I really missed the thorough description of the Mura (Slovenian: Prekmurje) region. Given the fact that Slovenia is a very small country and there is enough possibility to include almost every city where are interesting sights. Unfortunately it did not happen in the Mura region, again. For instance the microregion with the Hungarian minority is completely out. The charmly Lendava town with its castle and wine region is completely missing. How reliable could be a guide describing a small country with this mistakes? I strongly advise to the author to travel and discover this area, too. I hope in the next edition he is going to discover this "remote" area in this "big" country.

This year will be my 4th visit to Slovenia, the lonely planet guide book will give you all the neccessary details to make your visit even more enjoyable.
The book covers notable calendar events to time your stay to see such events as the cows ball and what to see and do when you get there, from tasting local speciality food, wines and beers to staying in 4 star hotels, local pensions or campsites.
This book is an indispensable aid to discovering the delights of Slovenia.

The book is small enough to fit in your pocket, but full of essential information. If you pack anything pack this book.
