Stari Pod Campsite? Simply splendid. This stellar Slovenian site is on the banks of the Kolpa River by Adlešiči village in Bela Krajina (White Carniola), a region filled with rivers and lakes, green hills and forests of silver birch trees. It's in the Kolpa Regional Park – outdoor activities such as canoeing, fishing, walking and cycling all within easy reach, natch… along with waterfalls and wild swimming, castles and wineries… and Zagreb and Ljubljana well within two hours. Staying close to your waterside home (as you'll likely plot to once you see the site pics), you can fish, raft or boat on the Kolpa straight from the site, or stretch out on the beach for sunny and snoozy Slovenian times. Or take the crew into the water rather than on or by it: the Kolpa river is warm and its deepest point next to Stari Pod is a little under two metres, making it safe for those not of a grownup size. Stari Pod has a riverside terrace bar serving drinks and snacks as well as a restaurant serving local specialities; alternatively, you can make a reservation for a picnic on the banks of the Kolpa (hugely recommended) or have your own barbecue around the grounds. The area around the site has villages, vineyards and farms where you can try out the region's culinary specialities, such as the traditional Bela Krajina fry-up, žlikrofi (stuffed dumplings), povitica (cheese-filled dessert bread) and flatbread – all, also, hugely recommended… Bike hire is available nearby if you want to pack up a picnic and take a day trip out to explore Kolpa Regional Park on two wheels. For an early pitstop, local village Adlešiči is a kilometre and a half away.

Local attractions

Rent a boat on site to take out onto the Kolpa meandering alongside, or venture further with a row from Adlešiči to Žuniči eight kilometres upstream, among the spectacular greenery and peace of the Kolpa Regional Park (look out for herons nesting way up high as you pass the forest reserves of Marindolska loza and Hrastova loza). Digging into local history, drive 25 minutes to the Croatian border to Metlika Castle, a 15th-century fortress above the old town. The castle is now a museum with the Kambič Gallery and its paintings by Slovenian artists, permanent collections on the culture of White Carniola, and the Metlika Slovene Firefighting Museum in the castle stables and other outbuildings. Further away, for travelling onwards on your Slovenia trip or taking a day trip from Stari Pod, Zagreb is an hour and 15 minutes' drive away and Ljubljana an hour and three quarters.
