It's a large earthworm cast, but I wouldn't like to say which species.

Newer seen that, lots of those around there, I think there is no way I could find that in NW Slovenia where I live, I think it is south, sea level dependent.

this size, you should consider a member of Megascolecidae, although fauna europea says there is no species of that family in Slovenia. If you ever come across this large earthworm member collect it in (96%) ethanol and send it to specialist.
