Perhaps you heard what happened in the cave Križna jama last days: a family of 3 went on the long, 6-hour guided cave expedition: On the way back, they noticed that the water level in the cave had increased so much that they were trapped inside the cave. Only two days later (yesterday), the water level had dropped enough for them to get safely out of the cave. In the meantime, specialists from the Slovene Cave Rescue organisation managed to go several times to them, to check how they were doing and to bring them food, a tent and clothing. This must have been incredibly difficult because they had to dive upstream through an underground mountain torrent, with no visibility whatshowever.

By now I heard more details about what happened, and it is clear to me that nobody is to blame. The main guide, who is extremely experienced, was correctly checking both weather forecasts and the water level in the cave (which is observed by cave guides for three decades), and later also dealt with the situation in a highly profesional way. None of the family was ever in any danger. And what the divers managed to do was pretty incredible.

I don't know if any of you from the team or family will read this, but I like to congratulate you all with your courage and the way you handled this unprecedented and unexpected situation. I must say that I was quite worried when I heard the news messages, but I have now even more fate in you guys and hope to bring groups to Križna jama also this year!

Crossbills are among the first birds who start nesting and can have young by February - even when there is snow and temperatures are freezing cold. So: a good bird for my first post in 2024!

Spring botanical tour in Slovenia

Summer is pleasantly warm in Slovenia, but winters can be cold and long. Eventually, the snow melts and flowers appear. In a race against time, they have to attract pollinators, before they are overshadowed by other plants. This is when we organise our spring flower tours. For more information see www.natureincolour.eu

Summer in Slovenia

Summer is here! View to mount Slivnica, from the Cerknica valley, today.

Bear Watching in Slovenia with Nature in Colour

Yesterday with a fantastic group from Greentours, UK, we went out bear watching ... After a while, a female brouwn bear showed up at the official feeding place, closely followed by a large male. The female was concentrating on tidbits of food (among other places there was some corn underneath the 80 kg piece of rock). The male, however, was mainly keeping an eye on the female. To him, it was visibly warm (still in winter fur) and he was tired. While the female ate, he rather lied down. The moment she got up, he rose as well to follow her. What a fantastic observation, we have watched them for at least 45 minutes before the pair disappeared again in the vast Slovenian forest ...

About our Tours

The beginning:

Back in January 2004, we heard that old house was for sale on the Bloke Plateau in Slovenia. On a sunny winter day, when temperatures were well below zero and snow cover was almost a meter thick, we arrived in the small village Metulje. The house was just what we were searching for, and a few months later it became our new home. Only several months later, when the spring finally reached the plateau, we fully realised how fantastic this place is. In late spring and summer, meadows behind our house turn in a colourful carpet of flowers. They inspired us to name our ecotourism brand Nature in colour.

Connecting with nature

A decade later we still admire the same meadows every summer, but we have also seen similar places in surroundings disappear. Seeing rapidly declining nature elsewhere, made us realise that biodiversity cannot be taken for granted. To preserve it, we need more than formal protection on paper. We need people who are passionate about nature. Our excursions and holidays are about sharing our passion with you.
