Trekking
Trekking is popular and well catered for in Slovenia with over 6,000 miles of marked trails and paths. Whether its easy short walks in the fields and foothills or strenuous, challenging climbs to some of the mountain peaks you’ll get just what you want from a trekking adventure in Slovenia.
The first port of call for your Slovenian trek could be the Julian Alps in the north, north-west of the country. Trek ‘Alpine-style’ around Lake Bled, or Lake Bohinj, Bovec, Kranjska and Gora.
North-east from the Julian Alps are the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. This is a mountain range on the border with Austria and the highest peak is Grintovec at 2,558 metres.
Triglav National Park is Slovenia’s natural gem. The park covers three per cent of the country with glacial lakes, rushing rivers, hidden gorges, snow-capped mountains and lush valleys! Sounds idyllic hey? The tallest summit in the park is Mount Triglav, which strokes the bellys of the clouds at 2,864 metres.
Summer extends from June to September and is the best time of year for this activity.
