Slovenia: winter wonderland.

Slovenia: winter wonderland.

Although Slovenia had to be very patient for winter in 2009, seeing high temperatures until well into October, the usual blanket of pure white snow has finally arrived! Warm sunshine has been superseded by a biting wind, crisp frost and pretty icicles dangling from every rooftop. Fortunately another custom accompanies Slovenia's often harsh winters, drinking hot mulled wine (kuhano vino) at its christmas markets. The air is now filled with the seasonal scent of logs burning in fireplaces, reflecting the country's huge 58% forest coverage, and the sound of festive celebrations. Slovenia is a winter wonderland in every sense: sight, smell, sound and of course, taste.
