Triglav National Park

Triglav National Park is one of the most im¬portant natural treasures of Slovenia. It is named after the sym¬bolic mountain Triglav (2,864 m) and is one of the oldest parks in Europe. The first protec¬tion attempts date back to the year 1906. Thepark covers nearly 84,000 hectares, almost the entire territory of the eastern Julian Alps. The Triglav National Park (TNP) is the only Slovenian national park. The management of the Triglav National Park is the responsability of the Triglav national Park Public Institution, based in Bled. The national park is a model example of successful harmonisation of different interests focused on a common goal: well-preserved nature, landscape and cultural heritage. The values of a national park are a motive and an attractive goal for visitors who respect the exceptional nature and cultural heritage as well as the peace and quiet of the area.

As a nature lover, Triglav Park was on my activities list during my trip in Slovenia. The park is in the Julian Alps, therefore offers the typical beautiful alpine landscape :) There are different paths and you can find information on the official website and at the "ticket office" at the entrance. My friend and I are quite active and we chose a medium path, which was actually very easy, on the way up, we hiked along a small stream, arriving at a waterfall. We had a packed lunch with us, and on the way back, we stopped for a drink in a typical place, which really added to the visit. The park is very well looked after. Nature and photography lovers are going to love this place :)

Mala Osojnica

Climb the peak above Bled which will enthuse you with their magnificent views. Climbing the Mala Osojnica (685 metres) will take about 45 minutes along a steep forest path. The most beautiful views of Lake Bled and its surroundings, the Karavanke, Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe mountain ranges and the Ljubljana basin await you.

Razglednik Pec

It is a fantastic location for short hike and perfect for photographers. You can enrich the trip by extending it to Rudnica. It takes about fifteen minutes on foot to reach the view point (from Lev's concrete bridge in Stara Fužina), which adds up to an altitude difference of about 200 metres. On the way, we can also enjoy the view of Stara Fužina.

We only hiked two stages (6 and 7 in Bohinj) of this amazing trail beginning of October, but were thrilled nevertheless and with Covid-19 hopefully improving by summer, we plan on going back to hike the entire Juliana Trail starting with stage 8 and doing the whole circle!

Vintgar Gorge

In order to reduce the risks related to the novel corona virus, we have introduced a new visitation regime. We kindly ask you to read and follow the instructions below, and above all, to show understanding. The instructions have been prepared to minimise the possibility of a COVID-19 infection in visitors and employees. The entry and exit points have been separated. It will not be possible to return through the gorge. This will prevent close encounters at the narrow sections of the route. The entrance will be at the log cabin in the village Podhom, and the exit at the Šum waterfall in Blejska Dobrava. Visitors will be able to choose between different circular routes to return to your entry point. All routes are clearly marked on the information boards and signposts along the route. Please check our website before visiting for prices and path descriptions.

Fabulous walk into the gorge with thundering river and narrow pathways, excellent views of the river, bridge and gorge and well worth the walk and fare to the gorge
