Slovenia Julian Alps Peak Walk

Commencing from the lush woodlands of the Pokljuka high plateau (1,280 m), today's journey takes you across fertile mountain pastures and through dense fir forests, ultimately leading you to Lipanska Hut for a customary hikers' lunch. Following this, you'll continue through the expansive panoramas of the Karavanke range, the Pokljuka plateau, the Krma valley, and the Bohinj mountains, ultimately arriving at the Pokljuka Biathlon Centre. It's a day immersed in natural beauty and fresh mountain air.

Today it's into the heart of the Triglav National Park and Julian Alps. The trail slowly ascends to Vodnikov Dom hut, amid the glorious views of Mt. Triglav (Slovenia's highest mountain – 2864 m), and its neighbouring peaks. You will spend the night at Planika hut, right underneath the summit of Triglav. Additional nights can be booked here, should you want to climb Mt Triglav (the climb is partly a “via ferrata”, some alpine experience and a helmet are recommended).

You start today with a walk across the Hribarice pass (2358 m). Stop and admire the beauty of one of the Park’s seven lakes, Zeleno Jezero (Green Lake), before continuing on to enjoy a beautiful view into the rest of the Valley of the Triglav Lakes. A further three-hour hike brings you to the Koča pri Triglavskih Jezerih mountain hut on the shore of Double Lake. 

Continuing your journey in a westerly direction, you'll arrive at Black Lake, the lowest and warmest of the seven Triglav lakes. Its name comes from its location in a basin nestled within the heart of the forest, which extends all the way to the edge of the Komarča rock face. Conclude your day by savoring a magnificent view of Bohinj Lake at sunset.

Today's itinerary starts with a visit to the renowned Savica Waterfall, a beloved attraction in Slovenia. This alpine karst spring pours its waters from the top of the waterfall, creating a majestic 78-meter cascade before feeding the impressive Lake Bohinj. A leisurely walk along the northern shore of Lake Bohinj will lead you to the charming village of Ribčev Laz. Here, you can warm your spirits with delicious homemade schnapps at the local bars.

Today, you have the option to either take a well-deserved rest by the lake or embark on an additional tour to the upper Bohinj valley. Through idyllic villages, you'll ascend to Rudnica hill, a vantage point that commands the valley and grants a farewell view of the lake and the mountains you've explored during your journey.

Departure after breakfast.
