Sveti Tomaž is a small settlement located about an hour away from the Slovenian capital city of Ljubljana. The name of the village translates to 'Saint Thomas', which refers to the church that sits atop the settlement. The church features Romanesque and Gothic architecture dating back to the 1500s. My journey here was during sunrise and above the clouds, which made for quite the spectacle!

Slovenia is a country that is perfect for a road trip. It's not too large, plenty of small cities to visit, and a gorgeous national park with a plethora of gorges and waterfalls for hiking and other outdoor sports. This is a road trip guide on seeing the Slovenian cities of Ljubljana, Ptuj, Maribor, Piran, Bled, Triglav National Park, and some other stops along the way.
