Morning: Departure from Sofia early in the morning with our comfortable minibus. Travel through Serbia and Croatia towards the heart of the Julian Alps.

Afternoon: Arrival at Lake Bled and check-in at our accommodation (our base for the next 6 days). Short rest and an introductory meeting.

Sunset: We head to our first photography session on the shores of Bled to capture the castle and the island in the soft light of the golden and blue hour.

Sunrise: Lake Bled. We will climb to a classic panoramic viewpoint (Ojstrica or Mala Osojnica) to capture an aerial view of the lake, the island with the church, and the rising sun behind the mountains.

During the day: Free time to rest and photograph autumn details along the shore. In the afternoon we head to Triglav National Park. We will explore the surrounding villages to photograph traditional hay racks (kozolec) and alpine architecture, documenting a vanishing rural way of life.

Sunset: Lake Bohinj. Unlike the commercial Bled, Bohinj offers wild nature and calm waters. We will capture the last rays reflecting in the lake and the impressive rock formations above it.

Sunrise: Jamnik Church. One of the most photogenic locations in Europe. Located on a narrow ridge against the backdrop of the Kamnik Alps, it is a true dream for any landscape photographer, especially when wrapped in morning mist.

During the day: Time for long exposures and playing with ND filters. We will photograph the Savica Waterfall (Slap Savica) or the Mostnica Gorge (Korita Mostnice) with their unusual rock formations and turquoise pools.

Sunset: The hill and church of Sveti Jakob (806 m) in the picturesque Polhov Gradec massif. This hidden gem offers a magnificent 360-degree panorama of the valleys below and is the perfect spot for capturing a dramatic sunset.

Sunrise: Sveti Tomaž Church. A classic Slovenian scene awaits us – a small church atop a hill, surrounded by autumn forests and shrouded in mystical mist, with majestic mountains in the background.

During the day: We head to northern Slovenia. We will photograph the crystal-clear Lake Jasna with its perfect reflections of Mount Prisank, as well as the picturesque source of the Sava River (Zelenci). We will then drive up the historic Vršič Pass with our minibus.

Sunset: Sveti Lenart Church. This sunset is a must-see highlight of our program. We will position ourselves perfectly to capture the charm of this church bathed in the golden light of the fading day.

Sunrise: Location depending on weather conditions – we look for morning mist over the valleys or return to a spot we want to capture in different light.

During the day: The day is dedicated to the Soča River Valley. The unique color of the water contrasts brilliantly with the autumn colors of the forests. We will photograph the river gorge and the magnificent hidden Kozjak Waterfall, where we will practice focus stacking and composition in tight spaces.

Sunset: Trenta Valley, capturing the dramatic shadows on the mountain slopes.

Sunrise: Flexible program. We use this morning to return to a location we missed due to weather (e.g., Jamnik or Sveti Tomaž), or one that simply stayed close to our hearts.

During the day: Free time for shot selection, editing discussions, rest, or a light walk.

Sunset: Final sunset over Lake Bled. We will look for new angles by the water, using the traditional “Pletna” boats for the foreground.

Day: Departure to the Maribor area and check-in. Free time for a short rest after the journey.

Sunset: We head to Špičnik to photograph the famous heart-shaped road winding picturesquely through autumn vineyards.

Evening: After sunset, we will conclude the photography adventure with our farewell dinner in the area, enjoying the local atmosphere.

Sunrise: Optional – a relaxed morning with coffee or a few final quick shots in nature.

Day: Check-out and departure to Bulgaria. Arrival in Sofia late in the evening, loaded with terabytes of photos and unforgettable memories.

Important note: In pursuit of light, not schedules!

The program is indicative and entirely subject to light and weather conditions. As organizers, we reserve the right to change locations on the go to guarantee you the best possible conditions for photography. Landscape photography requires flexibility. We keep our route dynamic to ensure we’re always in the best spot relative to the weather. If fog lingers in the valley – we stay. If a storm clears over the mountains – we move.

This photo adventure is designed for visual creators and nature lovers of every level. It is equally rewarding for professionals with heavy gear and for people who shoot entirely with a mobile phone – the locations and light offer perfect conditions to unlock the full potential of your smartphone.

Even if you’re not into photography at all, this tour is a perfect choice for anyone who simply wants to travel, break away from everyday life, and see some of the most beautiful sights in Europe in person. It’s for those who value authentic experiences and want to go beyond the tourist guidebooks, taking advantage of the unique knowledge that only an experienced guide can offer.

Our schedule follows a proven and time-tested photographic model, fully attuned to light and weather conditions:

• Sunrise: We start in the dark to be in position for the blue hour and the first light of the day.

• Recharge: After the morning photo session, we return for a well-deserved breakfast and a few hours of rest.

• During the day: We use the midday hours for traveling, scouting new locations, or capturing details in the forests, where the light is softer and gentler.

• Sunset: In the late afternoon, we head to carefully selected spots to capture the golden hour, staying until the last color fades from the sky.

Learning and community: We’ll stay in a private house with a kitchen, which gives us the opportunity to cook our meals together in a cozy atmosphere. We use rest time and breaks during bad weather for constructive image critique and post-processing tips. We guarantee you’ll leave not only with great photos but also with upgraded skills. Evenings are reserved for dinner, wine, and conversation.
