HIKING
IN SLOVENIA

Well, it’s time to hit the track …
which never really ends, since
Slovenia is just the right size to
be fully explored and experienced
on foot.
Over and over again.
Slovenia only a step away
Though spanning only about 20,000 square kilometres, with less than a three-hour drive along motorways between opposite
corners, Slovenia is criss-crossed by nearly 10,000 kilometres of waymarked walking routes. Usually our attention is first captured by the high-elevation mountain areas – the Julian Alps, Kamnik and the Savinja Alps, and Karavanke Alps – affording
captivating views of distant reaches that draw us closer. And so we get to know the mid-elevation areas: Idrija and the Cerkno
hills, Škofja Loka hills, Polhov Gradec hills, Posavje hills, etc. We can visit the Pohorje massif or the Snežnik-Javorniki range,
which is the longest uninhabited forest range in northwest Europe, take a stroll on the rolling hills of the Dolenjska and Bela
Krajina regions and have some exercise along the paths in the Prekmurje region, which may not be steep, but are perfect for
Nordic walking.

ALPINE ASSOCIATION OF
SLOVENIA
The tradition of organised mountaineering in Slovenia dates back to 1893, when
the Slovene Alpine Society was founded in
Ljubljana. Its successor is the Alpine Association of Slovenia (AAS), founded in 1948,
which brings together some 245 mountaineering societies with a total of 50,000+
members. Visit the official AAS website at
www.pzs.si.
SLOVENIAN NORDIC WALKING
ASSOCIATION
The Slovenian Nordic Walking and Recreation Association brings together more than
400 INWA-certified training instructors
from around the country. More information

EXPLORING
SLOVENIA ON
FOOT
Exploring Slovenia on foot
WHY GO HIKING IN SLOVENIA
• Slovenia is too small to be walked in a
short amount of time, so it is only natural to want to keep coming back to the
beauty of its diverse landscape.
• You simply don’t lose weight despite being hungry and thirsty most of the way,
as there are numerous culinary challenges along the way that will satisfy the
greatest of hungers.
• You want to experience the feeling of
heavy feet. It is difficult to stop once you
have made your first step on the trails
around Slovenia.
• You want to multiply the number of days,
for “just a day or two” can easily stretch out
once you hit Slovenia’s walking routes.
• You want to get away from the heat and
bustle of the seaside, to refresh yourself
by walking through fragrant forests and
high up in the mountains.
• You want to walk up and down, left and
right. And come back time and again.

SPENDING THE NIGHT
Specialised hiking accommodation is offered by more than 50 hotels that are members of the Hiking and Biking Association.
In the lower areas as well as in the mountains, you can spend the night in mountain
huts. The upland huts are only open in the
summer, whereas the lower-lying ones are
open all year round or on weekends.
BEST TIME FOR HIKING
The majority of the Slovenian mountain
trails are marked with signposts and blazes
consisting of a white circle with a red edge.
Many trails have their own individual symbols.
Hiking in Slovenia is possible year-round.
The best time to head for high-elevation
areas is summer and autumn. Normally,
weather conditions in the mountains are
the most stable at the end of August and
in autumn. Mid-elevation mountain areas
are the most attractive in spring, autumn
and winter.
THEMED WALKING TRAILS
WINTER HIKING IN SLOVENIA
ARE THE TRAILS MARKED?
Slovenia has over 380 various trails. The
majority of them have their own symbols.
In 2010, they will start replacing them with
uniform symbols. The basic symbol will resemble the mountaineering blaze, except
that the outer circle will be yellow and the
centre will be white. The signboards will use
the same colour scheme.
At that time of year visit the Primorska
region and its hilly hinterland, which rises
around 1,000 metres above sea level and is
usually snow-free. Marked short and long
trails around the Karst, Karst Edge, Slovenian Istria and the Goriško area are notably
most attractive in winter, when spectacular
views open up as far as the eye can see.
Winter is also a great time to head for Slovenia’s mid-elevation areas, with numerous
attractive trails around the Idrija, Cerkno,
Škofja Loka, Polhov Gradec and Posavje
hills, Pohorje, and the rolling northeastern
part of the country.

MOUNTAIN TRAIL
View on Jalovec
1
The Slovenian Mountain Trail (SPP) covers all the Alpine
ranges in Slovenia (Kamnik Alps, Karavanke and Julian
Alps), starting with a hike across Pohorje, a remarkable hill
range of magmatic origin, which stands in marked contrast
to the otherwise predominantly limestone areas and is seen
by some experts as part of the southeasternmost spurs of the
Central Alps. Started in 1953, it is the first – as indicated by
the numeral 1 written next to the markers showing the way
– and oldest interconnecting trail in Slovenia. The trail ends
right off the coast in Ankaran.
The highest point on the way is none other than Slovenia’s
highest peak, Triglav (2,864m).

VIA ALPINA
Ibex under Mount Kanjevec
Across Slovenia run the Red Trail and the Violet Trail, two of
the four Via Alpina hiking trails, which make it possible for hikers to see the Alps up close in eight Alpine countries. On the
14-stage Red Trail and 10-stage Violet Trail you get to know
all three Slovenian high-elevation mountain ranges: the Julian
Alps, the Karavanke Alps and the Kamnik Alps. Much like the
Slovenian Mountain Trail, the Red Trail further runs across the
Karst and Dinaric landscapes of Mt Nanos, the Trnovo Forest
and Idrija Hills, so that you can see from a different perspective
places you may have already been to. From the Julian Alps, the
trail leads over the Koren Mountain Pass in the Karavanke Alps
over to Austria. The Violet Trail starts at the heart of the highest mountain area in Slovenia, below Mt Triglav, and runs over
the Karavanke and Kamnik Alps into mountainous Austria.

When just before finishing the Slovenian stretch of the European Walking Route E6 you take a walk along the spectacularly panoramic edge of the Strunjan cliffs, you either feel
utterly bewildered or know exactly where you are. After three
weeks of hiking from the wooded north, you have made it to
the Adriatic Coast, an exceptional place in every respect, with
flysch cliffs so high and picturesque they’re like nowhere else

JULIAN ALPS
Triglav National Park
Named after Triglav (2,864m), a mountain carrying
great symbolic weight for Slovenians, Triglav National
Park is one of the oldest parks in Europe, with the
first efforts to protect the area dating back to 1906. It
spans nearly 84,000 hectares, almost the entire area
of the eastern Julian Alps.
Apart from preserving the natural environment,
which is the fundamental aim of any national park,
Triglav National Park is responsible for preserving
remarkable natural and cultural values, which take
the form of crystalline waters, deep gorges, remains
of ancient forests, rich alpine flora and characteristic
fauna, as well as the impressive cultural and historical
heritage.

SOČA RIVER TRAIL
Triglav National Park nature trail along the emerald

The oldest and longest nature trail in Triglav National Park, the Soča River
Trail takes you from the Soča source toward Bovec. It connects old footpaths and secluded spots, remote corners of the valley away from the road
and noise. The Soča is the emerald thread leading the way to the valley’s
more or less known natural attractions and cultural heritage. Particularly
interesting are the picturesque footbridges that cross the river at several
locations.

This area at the heart of the Julian Alps and Triglav
National Park offers amazing possibilities for hiking.
Here you can enjoy yourself at various altitudes, from
the lake at 540 metres above sea level to Slovenia’s
highest peak, the 2,864m-high Triglav. A similar spectrum of emotions overwhelms you when hiking on
marked trails in the valley or above the tree line, with
or without a guide. Hiking in Bohinj is delightful any
time of the year, as 17 walking and hiking trails offer
numerous possibilities in winter, from cross-country
skiing to snowshoeing. Bohinj is the place to be.

PRŠIVEC, 1,761m
Despite a hot climb from Stara Fužina over the Vogar mountain pasture
and on to Pršivec, the hike right above Lake Bohinj is pleasantly cool. The
lake far down in the valley and the magnificent and flourishing Alpine
landscape of Bohinj arouse a feeling of peacefulness. You will feel peace
within and all around, and no mountain jackdaw or even eagle could ever
disrupt it. On the contrary, the calmness is further amplified because the
trail does not allow much talking to oneself. The mission is simple: from the
mountain hut at Vogar, over the Hebat mountain pasture and to the top of
Pršivec, then a long break before heading back to Stara Fužina via Viševnik,
Pri Jezeru and Vogar. The path leads through the high-elevation mountain
area, the last secret of the Julian Alps that captivated Julius Kugy, the emotionally-charged explorer of this magnificent mountain range.

TRIGLAV, 2,864m
Atop the highest peak in Slovenia – having been climbing along a well-secured steep rocky trail for the last hour and a half – you can truly relax. You
may have been looking over your shoulder with slight fear in your eyes earlier, but now you are happy to have reached the highest peak in the Julian
Alps. The trail starts far down in the valley, at Stara Fužina in Bohinj, and
leads to the top via Uskovnica, the Vodnik hut and Planika. But up there
you are only halfway to the full experience. Return to the valley through
the wonderful Triglav Lakes Valley, cross Komarča and on a steep trail descend to Ukanc and Lake Bohinj.

18
Most famous for its magnificent lake with an island,
Bled is no less compelling as a starting point for hiking
trips to the eastern reaches of Triglav National Park.
The most attractive nearby spots are Vintgar and the
Pokljuka Gorge; however, the Alpine Pokljuka Plateau
and peaks rising above it are also not far away. The
realm of forests and mountains is perfect for exploratory hikes along marked trails, which are so many
that you will keep coming back in all seasons. What is
more, Pokljuka is very popular during winter thanks
to its intricate network of cross-country skiing routes
and the doorway to the Alpine giants.

THROUGH VINTGAR
Through the canyon along a blue-green river
When you follow the marked route past the Church of St Catherine down
to the Šum na Radovni waterfall, you enter a realm of water and rock which
would be completely impassable if it weren’t for the marked route. We can
now walk through Vintgar with great ease and take numerous breaks along
the way to admire the amazing canyon scenery, where the walls in some
places are only few metres apart. To return to the starting point, simply
follow the walking route over the scenic slopes under Hom. There you can
soak up the panoramic view of the near and distant stretches, as this is one
of the most beautiful vantage points in the Gorenjska region.

DEBELA PEČ, 2,015m
Through the lush woodland of Pokljuka to the panoramic summit at the edge of a plateau, high above the glacial valley of Krma
From the high-altitude starting point at the heart of the fragrant Pokljuka
woodland, walk uphill over the Javornik and Lipanca mountain pastures,
where you can take a break in the pleasant Blejska Koča hut. You have
reached the western edge of Pokljuka, where a number of peaks rise above
the Krma Valley. Climb Debela Peč, which, among other things, offers a
magnificent view of Triglav and the surrounding area. Debela Peč is one of
those mountain tops that afford such magnificent views you simply cannot
part with it easily. This close encounter with the heart of Triglav National
Park is so compelling you won’t be able to resist coming back.

Hike to the Slemenova špica
The Upper Sava River Valley, with Kranjska Gora, provides hikers with many possibilities. To the south, the
valley is surrounded by the peaks of the Julian Alps, with
the highest mountain in Slovenia, Triglav, 2,864m, with
a magnificent north face; to the north by the wooded
slopes of the Karavanke Alps, the most prominent being
Kepa at 2,139m. Kranjska Gora has 20 hiking trails for
all abilities, ranging from easy and gentle (two hours,
elevation gain 100m), moderate (three hours of walking, elevation gain 300m) and hard (four hours of walking, elevation gain 800m). The trails are marked and a
detailed map with descriptions is available.
In summer, a chair lift runs from Kranjska Gora to Vitranc, 1,578m. Vitranc affords a beautiful view of the
Julian Alps and Triglav. It is also the starting point for
hikes up the 1,746m-high Ciprnik.
In cooperation with the Mountain Guide Association
and the Alpine Association of Slovenia, we offer the
possibility to hire mountain guides for different trips.
Kranjska Gora also runs organised instructor-led Nordic walking courses and rents out walking poles.
Above Kranjska Gora is the Vršič Pass, at 1,611 metres
above sea level the highest road pass in Slovenia. It is located on the divide between the Adriatic and the Black
Sea. Over the pass runs a road, which was constructed
based on the ancient transport connection between
the Upper Sava River Valley and the Trenta Valley. The
road was built by Russian prisoners of war during WWI;
the Russian chapel situated near the road leading from
Kranjska Gora to Vršič is a monument to their work. The
pass is a popular starting point for tackling the peaks
Sleme, Mala Mojstrovka, Prisank, Jalovec and Razor.

Open-air museum, Čelo
Hikers in the Bovec region are captivated by numerous marked high-elevation trails, which are known for
their primeval, secluded rocky land and karst phenomena. Kanin has several chasms more than 1,000m deep,
the deepest being Čehi II, at 1,544 metres the seventhdeepest known chasm in the world. The upper station
of the Kanin circular cable car, at 2,202m, is a great
starting point for trips to high mountain areas.
The lowland with its vast forests, blue-green rivers and
streams, magnificent waterfalls and gorges is enriched
with old homesteads and friendly people and connected
to numerous marked theme routes. In the Bovec region
hikers can enjoy the blooming colourful meadows and
awakening life in spring and summer, and the softness
of winds, calm and peacefulness of nature in autumn.
Snowshoeing trips are very popular in winter when snow
blankets the land. Also available are guided tours. An integral part of the destination is Triglav National Park.
Lovers of lowland trips around Bovec enjoy theme routes
such as the Walk of Peace and the Soča River Trail. Following the Walk of Peace, which connects the remains of
numerous fortifications, open-air museums and monuments, you learn about the legacy of World War I. If you
want to experience it in a special way, go see the 1313
Association performance at the Kluže Fortress. The Soča
River Trail, running along the blue-green Soča River and
past numerous cultural attractions, runs to the Trenta
Valley, at the heart of unspoiled and serene scenery.

Skalo and Na Skali, was built during World War I and restored by Italian
troops before they left for the Albanian and Greek fronts. The location affords a spectacular view of the valley and the surrounding hills.

Above Škrbina
Standing at the top of Krn or high above the Tolminka Valley, you are face-to-face with the primeval
mountain world at the edge of the Alps and the jagged hills at the meeting point of the Julian Alps and
the Dinaric mountain chain. The surrounding area of
Tolmin and Kobarid, together with its peaks, which
are not as tall as those of mountain giants, is ideal for
multi-day trips, as the land at the meeting point of
two mountain chains boasts some of the most diverse
and amazing formations of nature that can rarely be
seen anywhere else.
To the south of the Soča, high above Benečija, rise
Matajur and Kolovrat, which afford spectacular views
of the Julian Alps as well as the Adriatic Sea and the
Po River Valley. To the north, there are many wild
gorges cutting into the high mountain ridge of the
Julian Alps; one of them – the Tolmin Gorges – can be
experienced on a secured trail close to Tolmin.
Besides numerous other hiking and mountaineering
trails, the space between Kobarid and Tolmin is connected by the Walk of Peace, a theme route leading
to the remains and monuments of the WWI Isonzo
Front, which left a huge mark on the valley. Four of
the total six museums are situated out in the open,
on the trail between Kobarid and Tolmin. In the Tolminka Valley, there is the Church of the Holy Spirit at
Javorca.

Bučenica – Mengore – Cvetje
On the Bučenica – Mengore – Cvetje trail, we can feel the not-so-distant
past. All the hills were heavily fortified as the Austro-Hungarian front of
WWI ran through it, forming the Tolmin bridgehead. For the Austro-Hungarian positions, which were otherwise on the opposite, left bank of the
Soča River, this was a great exception as they were very exposed to the
Italian artillery, but nevertheless withstood the pressures until the end of
the Isonzo front.

Bear’s Head
JULIAN ALPS
Tolmin, Kobarid
Tolmin Gorges, the common name for the Tolminka
and Zadlaščica gorges, is the most magnificent natural attraction around Tolmin. The Tolminka Gorge,
approximately 200m long and more than 60m deep,
was formed by a blue-green river that in some places
flows between steep walls that are only a few metres
apart. The Zadlaščica Gorge is shorter but no less
picturesque.

TOLMIN GORGES
The wilderness of the Tolmin Gorges can be experienced on a one-hour
walk along a secured circular trail. The starting point (parking area) can be
reached from Tolmin via Zatolmin. Soak up the magical movement of water
and wild rocks, kneel down to a warm spring, stop at the rock resembling a
bear’s head and the entrance to the Zadlaška or Dante Cave. Return to the
starting point by crossing the Devil’s Bridge, 60m above the Tolminka.

IDRIJA AND
CERKNO HILLS
The Idrija and Cerkno hills are part of the very rugged,
quite steep mid-elevation areas, which rise up to
1,000m on average. Valleys and narrow gorges with
crystalline waters nestle among hills and ridges; in
between, there are karst plateaus. More than three
quarters of the land is covered with forests, home to
many different plant and animal species. Mountain
tops afford breathtaking views of Alpine peaks to the
north and the azure Adriatic Sea to the south. There
are many marked hiking trails suitable for Nordic
walking year-round.

IDRIJA–CERKNO MOUNTAIN TRAIL
The trail leads over stunning peaks and other vantage points and to places important in terms of ethnography and natural science. Stop at the well-known
archaeological site Divje Babe in Šebrelje, where a 55,000-year-old flute was
found among other things. In the town of Idrija, you are presented with an
amazing mining heritage and refined Idrija lace, in forests with grand klavža
barrages dating from the 18th century, floating timber water barriers which
boast a combination of advanced craftsmanship and first-rate design. On Vojsko you will see war memorials and the picturesque Gačnik ravine. The trail
continues through Zgornja Idrijca Landscape Park, with the natural attraction
Lake Divje jezero, from which runs the shortest Slovenian river, the Jezernica.
In Cerkno, stop at the Cerkno Museum to see the exhibition of Cerkno laufars,
continue to the Pasice Ravine and to the Partisan hospital Franja, and at the
end of the circular trail visit the home of writer France Bevk in Zakojca.

From the mediaeval Škofja Loka, the road takes us to the village of Crngrob, best known for its pilgrimage site, the Church of the Annunciation.

through the forest and cross the ridge to Križna Gora, where you can visit
the well-known restaurant Pri Boštjanu. Here you can get the key to see
the nearby Church of the Holy Cross. From there you can enjoy the spectacular view on the Sorško polje plain and the surrounding hills.

ALONG THE RUPNIK LINES TO BLEGOŠ
In the years 1920 to 1947, the border between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia
and the Kingdom of Italy ran on the ridges surrounding Škofja Loka and
Cerkno. In the period between 1938 and 1941, the Yugoslavian army was
building a system of forts known as the Rupnik line, in order to defend
them from the Italians. During WWII, the construction ended and the fortifications remained unfinished and unused.
From Hotavlje (Marmor Hotavlje) you will arrive into the village of
Čabrače, where the famous little church of St. Gertrude is situated. Lower
in the village you can taste home-brewed beer. The hike continues to the
Blegoš peek, full of interesting flora and offering a fantastic view. You can
return past the mountain huts on the Blegoš and Jelenci hills, over the
Ogradi towards Volaka and from there back to the starting point.

Incredible views open on the villages below, which are among the highestlying Slovenian villages. In the Krekova koča mountain hut at the summit
you can get a bite to eat or a refreshing drink. Ratitovec, also known as the
last mountain of the Julian Alps, was an important strategic point at the
time of the Rupnik line, so the fortresses are easy to find on this part of
the trail. The hike continues along the Ratitovec ridge over the Altemaver
and Kremant towards Soriška planina. You will pass the Danjarska planina
pastures where you can often see grazing herds of beautiful horses.
After approximately three hours of walking, you will reach the Soriška planina, which offers a spectacular view on Lajnar, Možic and Slatnik summits.

KAMNIKSAVINJA ALPS
Jezersko
The Jezersko area has long been popular among hikers
and nature lovers on the back of its unspoiled wilderness,
refreshing climate and numerous natural attractions.
Here you can see Čedca, the highest waterfall in Slovenia,
walk through the natural window of Stegovnik, the
oldest mountain in Slovenia, or refresh yourself at the
glacier below Skuta, the easternmost glacier in the Alps,
as the ibex do when they move to Jezersko from the
warm southern slopes of Grintovci in search of better
climate and pasture. Spend at least one night at Češka
Koča and breathe in the fresh mountain air, which is
particularly fragrant at dusk and dawn.
The route to Češka koča
Hotel Planinka offers everything a hiker wants. The hotel is situated at the
very centre of one of the most beautiful Alpine valleys in Slovenia – Jezersko. In the surrounding area you can find countless opportunities for an
active vacation, from the simplest hiking trails to the most difficult Alpine
climbing routes. In the summer, you can end your tour with a delicious
meal on the hotel terrace and enjoy the unique view on the summits of
Grintovci. In the winter, you can go snowshoeing or sledding and top it off
with some mulled wine in front of the hotel fireplace or in a sauna.
As we are located only half an hour from the airport, this is normally a
starting point or a finish point of trekking tours on the Via Alpina and
the Slovenian Alps. We organise transfers and different tours throughout
Slovenia for individual guests and groups.

SLOVENIA
GREEN
In Slovenia we are aware of the importance of sustainable development and especially the importance of sustainable tourism development. That is why the Slovenian Tourist Organisation has undertaken the project
“Green Slovenia”, the object of which is trying to motivate every tourist service provider and visitor to live,
work or visit Slovenia in an environmentally conscious
manner: to use environmentally friendly materials,
walk or ride a bicycle or other environmentally friendly
vehicles if possible, save water, recycle etc.
GREEN FACTS
A total of 58 % of the Slovenian territory is covered in forests, 36
% of the surface area is protected, with one national park (Triglav
National Park), three regional parks and 40 landscape parks or
Natura 2000 areas. There are various levels of protection at these
sites.
Slovenia is a land of waters, having over 27,000 km of rivers,
creeks, springs, waterfalls, lakes and 46 km of seashore.
The rich fauna and flora further increase the green natural wealth
of Slovenia.
GREEN HIKING AND CYCLING
More than 50 accommodation facilities have become specialised in
hikers. One has already received the European daisy eco-label and
several facilities are in the process of acquiring it. An increasing
number of accommodation facilities are introducing heating with
environmentally friendly aggregates – biomass, photovoltaic power
plants, small hydroelectric power plants, separate waste collection,
water recycling. Mountain huts are starting to use solar energy to
satisfy heating and other power needs, and small wastewater treatment plants are being installed.
Almost everywhere in the higher parts of the Alps, drinking water
is acquired from springs and tap water is potable everywhere. In the
Julian Alps, accommodation facilities offer natural spring water.
Trail marking system: in the mountains the trail marking system
avoids putting large signboards on trees and rocks. Not all the
trails are marked, but it is possible to hire a licensed guide to accompany you on the unmarked trails. In the lower parts, there are
many trails and in 2010 they will start having uniform signboards.
The purpose is to remove the signposts and information boards of
different dimensions and contents and replace them with uniform
ones.
Waste generated during the hikes must always be taken along and
deposited in hotels or villages into waste bins. Almost every town
has a special waste bin for empty batteries.
Public transport in Slovenia is well developed. Buses and railway
lines take you to the starting points for hiking or cycling tours.
Trains have special cars for bicycles.
VISITING GREEN SLOVENIA ON FOOT
OR BY BIKE
A challenge for anyone – Slovenia is a small destination, but discovering the country on foot or by bike is a unique experience that
will ensure you that Slovenia is nevertheless a large country, offering countless opportunities for green activities so that Slovenia will
become etched in your memory as a green destination.

climbs 300 metres. The Rinka waterfall is a true reward for those who walk
the whole trail from start to finish, but on the shorter trails you can also
discover many interesting things.
After a short break in the hut on Okrešlje, climb the Kamnik Saddle to admire from high above the Rinka waterfall, the Logarska Valley, Kamniška
Bistrica and the Ljubljana Basin. A difficult trail secured with spikes and
wire ropes leads to Planjava. The highest mountain in the Štajerska region

REČICA CIRCULAR HIKING TRAIL
A scenic walk on the ridges above the Rečica Valley
The two-day hike takes you around the Rečica Valley, characterised by mining in the past. Some even refer to it as “the second Logarska Valley” because of the natural attractions it holds. The scenic and diverse landscape
trail leads across some lower but tremendously scenic peaks in the eastern
part of the Posavje Hills, whose appearance is on par with their higher
counterparts, for example Govško Brdo, 811m, Baba, 789m, and Ostri
Vrh, 855m. It first traverses the tops and ridges south of the valley, then
returns to the starting point on the ridges to the north. The highest summit is 1,122m-high Mrzlica, rising roughly halfway. In the Šmohor, Kal
and Mrzlica mountain huts you can refresh, rest or practise some colourful
evening and early morning meditation.

THE LOVRENC LAKES
The Lovrenc lakes form the largest high-altitude bog in
Slovenia.
From Hotel Planja, a trail leads you across the characteristic Pohorje plains,
which centuries ago were forests claimed by shepherds and turned into pastures, and towards Mount Ostruščica (1498 m). From Mount Ostruščica,
the trail leads you further on across a peat bog at the Komisija Pass to
Mount Mulejev vrh where a forest reserve begins. After a few kilometres, a
magnificent view opens over the Lovrenc lakes, a vast peat bog with twenty small lakes or bog depressions, whose age is estimated at 8000 years.
From here, the trail leads you towards Lovrenc and, along a marked trail,
towards Jezerce (“small lake”), representing a unique natural sight with its
beautiful surroundings, swamp fauna and relaxing silence. From Jezerce,
you continue to the main road crossroad and further on to the Koča na
Pesku mountain hut, where you can refresh yourself with the “Pohorski
Lonec” stew and then return to Hotel Planja.

The Vipava Valley offers abundant possibilities for
hiking. It is full of walking paths for different tastes,
leading past numerous natural, cultural and historical
sights throughout the year. Especially interesting are
the trips to the popular Koča na Čavnu mountain hut
and the Koča pod Golaki mountain hut, the trips to
the Trnovo Plateau, the Mount Gora and the Nanos
Plateau, as well as to the somewhat lower but also interesting Vipava Hills. All the peaks surrounding the
Vipava Valley offer magnificent far reaching views,
which is already the reason why they are worth visiting.

TO THE MOUNT ČAVEN, 1,242m
Mountain range of the Trnovo Forest
The trail described leads from the town of Ajdovščina, through the Lokavec
village. We leave the car at the church and turn left at the small chapel (signpost) through the village. We follow the forest road, cross the meadows and
ascend the steep slope. When we leave the forest behind, we come to the
most picturesque part of the route with magnificent views and botanical
richness. Soon, we reach a meadow in front of the Koča Antona Bavčerja
na Čavnu mountain hut, 1,242m above sea level. We continue to the panoramic peak of Mount Kucelj (1,237m). We return across Mount Mala Gora
(a mountain refuge) and make a steep descend to the trail at the middle of
the Mount Čaven. After a half-hour walk, we turn right towards the starting
point at Lokavec village. The trail is well-trodden and marked.

Golak mountains – the forest dirt road ends at a large parking lot. After halfan-hour walk along the broad dirt road and a few-minute walk along the forest dirt road, you reach the Iztokova Koča pod Golaki mountain hut (1,280m)

Karst Edge
On Mount Slavnik
Koper
SLOVENIAN ISTRIA

The Karst and Slovenian Istria are divided by a large
rocky step. The legend has it that it was created by the
giants. This is an open and windy landscape ruled by
the bora wind.
A marked trail follows the Karst Edge, thus enabling
you to walk it through from the Italian to the Croatian
border. At several points, it is possible to turn off the
trail either towards the coast or towards the higherlying Mount Slavnik.
The purpose is clear: to add a hiking adventure to the
holidays at the seaside.

the E6 trail, across the grasslands in the direction of Podgorje village, thus
returning to the starting point.
It is possible to ascend to the top in all four seasons of the year.
On the slopes of the mountain, there is an interesting combination of

Access along the road past the village of Črni Kal to the village of Hrastovlje. From the church in the middle of the village, the trail leads upwards to
the panoramic Karst Edge and further on along the ridge towards the village of Socerb. The Karst Edge represents the contact between the coastal
region and the Karst as well as the contact between limestone and flysch,
which provides favourable conditions for rich and diverse vegetation. The
trail is long, yet not demanding. From the top, we may continue across to
the Italian side, in the Gulf of Trieste, or return to the starting point along
the same route.
