Trekking Slovenia - In the shade of Triglav
Triglav (2864 m), Slovenia’s tallest mountain and Slovenia’s national symbol. We will approach the mountain in a unique kind of way, without having to use a grip or a safety ladder. On our tour Trekking Slovenia we will constantly remain in Triglav’s shadow, and keep an eye on it. Trekking Slovenia ‘In the shade of Triglav’, begins in the Triglav National Park, on the mountain plain Pokljuka, where every year we can observe world cup competitions in cross-country skiing and biathlon. From Pokljuka we ascend to Viševnik (2050 m) and from there we continue to Vodnik’s mountain hut on Velo polje.
On the next day, we continue our trekking towards alpine herders’ valley Voje, where we will try out sour milk and žganci. Followed by a walk through ravine Mostnica and then we will end our trip with a swim in the crystal clear Lake Bohinj.
