ʻO ka makahiki i hala wale nō, ma kahi o ka hapalua (51 pakeneka) o nā poʻe hoʻomaha ʻEulopa a pau i hoʻolālā e leʻaleʻa i kahi hoʻomaha ma ko lākou ʻāina home. Me ka nui o nā wānana e hoʻomau i ka 2012, ke Komisina ʻEulopa, ma o kāna hana, "European Destinations of ExcelleNce" (EDEN) ke koi nei i nā ʻEulopa e ʻike i ka laulā o nā waiwai huna ma ko lākou puka.
ʻO ke kumu o EDEN e hōʻike i nā mea a ʻEulopa e hāʻawi aku ai, nā wahi kūʻokoʻa a hiki i kēia manawa, ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia. Ma ʻEulopa, hāʻawi nā wahi huakaʻi ʻo EDEN i ka poʻe malihini e aʻo hou e pili ana i ka moʻomeheu a me nā kuʻuna o ko lākou ʻāina ponoʻī.
E hoʻokūkū ana nā wahi e loaʻa ai ka huakaʻi o ka maikaʻi, e kālele ana i ke kumuhana ʻokoʻa i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Maša Puklavec, mai ka Slovenian Tourist Board: “He mau hiʻohiʻona o nā wahi huakaʻi Slovenia EDEN a hāʻawi i kahi ʻike poina ʻole no ka poʻe malihini e ʻimi nei i ka hoʻoikaika a me ka leʻaleʻa i nā ʻāina ʻāina, ka nani o nā kumu wai like ʻole, a me ka gastronomy kūloko maoli. Kōkua ka EDEN i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i nā wahi e kū mai ana, ka hoʻololi ʻana a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hāʻawi o kēia manawa, akā hoʻohui pū i nā kamaʻāina a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi manaʻo maikaʻi i loko o nā wahi.
I ka makahiki 2012, ʻaʻohe kaʻina koho hou, akā e hana ʻia kahi hoʻolaha ʻoi aku ka ikaika o nā wahi i koho mua ʻia - no laila, e hoʻokō ʻia kekahi mau hana hoʻolaha ma ka pae o ka European Commission a me ka Slovenian Tourist Board. Na ke komite loea no ke koho ʻana i nā wahi o ka maikaʻi e nānā hou i nā wahi lanakila a pau, e nānā a aʻo iā lākou e pili ana i nā hana hou aʻe. ʻO wai kēia mau wahi?
I ka makahiki 2011, ua koho ʻia nā wahi lanakila no ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka hana koʻikoʻi i ka hoʻolaʻa ʻana i ko lākou ʻāina, e lawe mai ana i ka hoʻomohala hoʻomau a me ke ola hou i nā wahi moʻomeheu, mōʻaukala, a me nā wahi kūlohelohe a me ka hana ʻana ma ke ʻano he kumu no ka hoʻoulu hou ʻana o ka ʻāina. Kaulana no kāna mine mercury a me ka hana lace, ʻo ka lanakila o Slovenia, ʻo Idrija, kahi huakaʻi hoihoi me nā hiʻohiʻona nani. ʻO nā mauna kiʻi, nā ululāʻau maʻemaʻe, a me Lake Wilde e hana i kahi ʻāina hoʻomaha. ʻO kona hoʻoilina moʻomeheu waiwai, kūlohelohe, a me nā ʻoihana ʻenehana i mālama ʻia e nā poʻe kamaʻāina haʻaheo i ko lākou mōʻaukala.
ʻO ka hoʻokūkū ma 2010 i hoʻolauleʻa ʻia i nā wahi no nā ala hou e pili ana i ka mākaʻikaʻi wai. Ua koho ʻia ʻo River Kolpa i lanakila no Slovenia. Ua manaʻo ʻia ka muliwai ʻo Slovenia "kokokai" lōʻihi loa a ʻo kekahi o nā muliwai wela loa ma Slovenia. Ua kaulana loa ka muliwai i nā mahina kau wela, no ka mea, piʻi ka mahana o ka wai a hiki i 30°C. Hiki i nā malihini ke koho ma waena o nā ʻano haʻuki a me nā hana leʻaleʻa, e like me ka waʻa, waʻa, kayak, a i ʻole rafting.
I ka makahiki 2009, ua kālele ʻo EDEN i ka mākaʻikaʻi ma nā wahi palekana. Hāʻawi ka hiʻohiʻona Alpine o Solčavsko i nā wahi kūlohelohe. ʻO nā awāwa glacial ikaika ʻekolu ka mea nui o kēlā me kēia noho. ʻO ka mea i kipa nui ʻia ʻo Logarska dolina nature park me nā hiʻohiʻona nani o ke kaulahao mauna o Kamnik-Savinja Alps a me nā wailele kupaianaha. ʻO ka nui o nā ala hele wāwae hoihoi e alakaʻi i ka poʻe malihini i ka uha o nā Alps. Hōʻike kekahi mau moʻolelo kahiko i ka pilina ma waena o ke kanaka a me ke ʻano a kono iā lākou no nā ʻike poina ʻole.
I ka makahiki 2008, ʻo ke kumumanaʻo o EDEN ka mākaʻikaʻi a me ka hoʻoilina hoʻoilina kūloko. Ua koho ʻia ke awāwa ʻo Soča, me kāna hoʻoilina waiwai WWI, i lanakila mua loa ma Slovenia. Aia i loko o ka puʻu o ka Julian Alps a ma kekahi o nā paka ʻāina kahiko loa o ʻEulopa, ʻo Triglav National Park, ʻo ka māla mua alpine botanical alpine a me nā puʻu i uhi ʻia i ka hau e hāʻawi i kahi hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa e iho ana i ke kai. Ua kaulana ka wahi no nā hana wai keʻokeʻo ma ka muliwai emerald Soča.
