Exploring an abandoned Slovenian Village 🇸🇮

When we decided to visit Slovenia, we were looking for things to do. Seeing as we landed in Venice and rented a car, we thought we'd look along the route to see what western Slovenia had to offer. Slovenia is pretty unknown it seems, kind of forgotten about apart from Lake Bled and potentially the capital city, Ljubljana. So as we were searching on the map, Goldie found this village called Slapnik, which had been abandoned since around 1991 when Slovenia broke away from Yugoslavia.

Slapnik is a small isolated settlement in the Municipality of Brda in the Littoral region of Slovenia. It has no permanent residents. According to Wikipedia. When we arrived, it was clear that at least one of the buildings was at least owned by somebody, whether it was lived in was a different story. Slapnik is so far away from any shops or civilisation that it would definitely be hard to live there.

We wandered around Slapnik, the abandoned Slovenian village to see what was left, what sort of state this abandoned village was in, and to show you guys who might want to know what an abandoned Slovenian village looks like in 2019.

Apparently the BBC were going to make a gameshow where contestants helped to rebuild Slapnik, but I don't think that is going to happen as it was supposed to be in 2019, and we visited in December 2019 and nothing had been done yet.

Remember: When you visit somewhere abandoned like this Slovenian village, or an abandoned building or abandoned theme park, don't take anything, don't break anything, don't cause any damage - simply, don't be an idiot. Be respectful wherever you are.

Whilst wandering around Slapnik, we went into abandoned houses, abandoned sheds and even an abandoned water tank that looked like a church from far away.

The views from these abandoned houses were amazing. Imagine waking up every morning to that view, to just pack up and leave? I wonder what actually happened to make people abandon this Slovenian village.

Have you ever been to an abandoned village? Tweet me and let me know where you visited. Or even better, have you visited this abandoned Slovenian village like we did?
