What to do in Slovenia
Slovenia is a very attractive country for travelers thanks to the possibility to combine beautiful hikes in the limestone Alps with swimming by the sea. Let's see what all the interesting things you can do here
Ascent to Triglav
Ascent to the highest mountain in Slovenia
Triglav (2,864 m above sea level) is the highest mountain in Slovenia and the entire Julian Alps. Several routes of varying difficulty lead to the top. We chose an easier route from Rudna Polje through Vodnik's house and Planika's house. The last about 300 m of ascent is still secured by steel ropes. continue reading

Duty for the Czechs in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps
The Czech cottage (Slovenčina Češka koča) is located in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps above the mountain village of Zgornje Jezersko. It was built here in 1900 by Czechs and it is the first mountain hut in Slovenia. Czech cottage is an excellent destination, which is relatively easily accessible. For the more demanding, there is also a ferrata and the cottage is also offered as a starting point for difficult alpine treks. At the Czech cottage you will get excellent traditional Slovenian snacks and you can even sleep here. continue reading
Vintgar Gorge Circuit with Lake Bled
Icons of Julian Alps
Vintgar is one of the biggest and most famous attractions in Slovenia and it is really well known. The attendance of the gorge is really enormous, so I recommend getting up or walking through it in the evening. There is a charge. The gorge is over 1.5 km long and allegedly the gorge reaches a depth of 250 m, I would guess rather 150 m. From here you can walk to the most famous lake in Slovenia, which is Bled. It's a feast for the eyes. With beautiful clear water and warm water in summer. So pack a swimsuit and refresh yourself and enjoy the mountains. continue reading
Road to Mangart
The highest road in Slovenia
It is the highest road in Slovenia. A former military road built in the late 1930s in Italy, which was modified in the 1980s to open to tourists. It is a popular motorcycle paradise. The human road takes him up to a height of 2065 m above sea level to a place called Mangartsko sedlo. continue reading
Gorge Martuljški waterfall
Road to the waterfalls
The waterfalls Martuljški slap I. and Martuljški slap II., Are located in the gorge near the town of Gozd Martuljek. It is a beautiful 8 km walk that will incredibly surprise. At first it is a relaxing hike, where I get deeper into the canyon of the gorge and during the ascent there is a beautiful waterfall Martuljški slap, which is about 30 meters. Then, there is only a challenging climb to the second waterfall Martuljški slap. Located in difficult terrain. Unfortunately, despite the complicated approach, it is no longer as nice as the bottom one. continue reading
Triglav from Lake Bohinj
Autumn in the Julian Alps
We decided to take advantage of the extended weekend in September and went to Slovenia to explore the southern access roads (from Lake Bohinj) to the Triglav National Park. That there are a lot of hiking trails was evident from the map. But that this will create a bit of chaos in their signage is a bit of an unpleasant finding for a Czech accustomed to their perfection. Fortunately, everything is redeemed by beautiful plains with abandoned but functional mountain huts, lakes and cottages with endless views. continue reading
Ascent to Pogačnikov Dom
View of the Bloody River valley
Pogačnikov House is located near Trenta and is widely used by tourists and climbers. You can sleep on it and it is a good connection, as a starting point for Triglav and other hikes. Pogačnikov has an altitude of 2050m. nm On the way to it is possible to see the remains of World War I. It offers great views of the surrounding mountains and the valley of the Sochi River, nicknamed the Bloody River. Although this is a large elevation gain, it is not as challenging as other outputs. You need to take water. There is only 1 well along the way continue reading
Ascent to Mangart
Feratou and Mangart
Mangart (2677 m) is a border mountain between Slovenia and Italy. You can climb it by a simpler normal footpath, which leads for the most part on the Italian side, or by the ferrata „Slovenska pot“ (difficulty C), which, on the contrary, leads on the Slovenian side. It is ideal to combine the way – Slovenia up and Italy down. continue reading

If you are traveling from Austria to Italy via Villach, it is good to leave the motorway in Tarvisio and take a side road along the beautiful Lake Predil in the picturesque landscape of the Julian Alps. At the same time, there is a starting point along the way to the breathtaking peak of Jof di Montasio (2,753 m above sea level) continue reading
