Motorhome pitches at a family-run animal sanctuary near Škofljica
A 20-minute drive from central Ljubljana; Turjak Castle 25 minutes
Peaceful site with lovely views; meet the animals on a farm tour

What if you could have a holiday and do a bit of good for the world at the same time? Well, this is the win-win situation that’s on offer at Fairytale Sanctuary, a family-run property about 10 minutes’ drive from Škofljica. These pitches are part of a peaceful animal sanctuary that’s run as a non-profit charity, so by staying here you’ll be contributing to the welfare of the residents – that’s bound to bring a bit of added glow to your outdoor break. And of course you’ll have the chance to meet the animals while you’re staying here too, as there are daily tours of the sanctuary (English-language tours at 9:30am each day except weekends). It’s not all about doing good for the animals, however – you’ll likely be doing good for your own mood with a stay at this peaceful place, which is up on a hillside with lovely views out over the valley and surrounding pastures. It’s a fairly simple site, but guests have access to showers, toilets and water at all times, with washing machine use available on request too. The animals that live here have been rescued from the slaughterhouse, so you’ll be asked to respect that by not preparing or consuming meat, poultry or fish while on the farm. This place is all about creating a nice quiet haven for the residents, so you’re also asked to refrain from heavy drinking and loud parties, and keep your dog on a lead around the pitches (they’re not allowed in the main farm area). If a campfire is an essential part of your holiday, you’ll be pleased to hear they’re allowed here – bring your own wood or forage for scraps in the next-door forest.

Local attractions

This part of Slovenia has some splendid hiking and bike paths for those who’d like to get out and explore some of the scenery. Ask on site for recommendations of suitable trails, or details of other local activities such as horse riding, paintballing or watersports. It’s worth remembering that the sights are not all above ground either – you can get a good insight into what lurks under the surface at Županova jama cave (25 minutes’ drive), which has seven underground caverns with amazing rock formations. A little further along the road (or 25 minutes’ direct drive) is the restored Turjak Castle, home to a puppet theatre and a collection of military items. From this fairly central location most of Slovenia should be accessible – but if you only have time for one trip, it should be to Ljubljana (20 minutes) to walk through the Old Town, cross the Triple Bridge and climb to the castle.
