The route
The daily hikes require good stamina and a solid basic fitness level. The routes follow a mix of well-maintained mountain paths, hiking trails and gravel roads with sections where sure-footedness is required. Some sections can be shortened by using public transport or shuttle buses.
Itinerary
Explore the small town on the shores of the glacial lake on the edge of Triglav National Park, with a castle high above and the famous island in the centre of the lake. This is a key photo opportunity in Slovenia.
Hotel (example): Hotel Astoria
You'll be driven from Bled to Kranjska Gora, starting at the picturesque Jasna Lake, whose clear waters are reflected in the surrounding mountains. From there, head up to the Vršič Pass, the highest mountain pass in Slovenia, where you'll be greeted by breathtaking mountain panoramas. On the descent to Trenta you can explore the Soča spring, where the crystal clear waters of the river begin and flow into the turquoise Soča. It's an unforgettable hike through one of Slovenia's most stunning landscapes.
Hotel (example): House DorMica
On the Queen Stage in the Soča Valley, you'll cross several suspension bridges that offer spectacular views of the sparkling river. Along the way, you'll come across the impressive Soča Gorges, natural waterholes carved into the rock by the river that are truly impressive. Especially on hot summer days, dipping into the cool waters of the Soča is a real highlight. Bovec, the destination of your hike, is a well-known destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Hotel (example): Hotel Mangart
At the start of the tour you'll encounter the mysterious Virje Waterfall, a hidden natural wonder amidst lush vegetation, and soon after the mighty Boka Waterfall, one of Slovenia's highest and most powerful waterfalls, where water thunders down into the depths. Continue through dense forests and along the Soča River, passing numerous picturesque bathing spots and impressive natural scenery until you reach the charming town of Kobarid.
Hotel (example): Hotel Hvala
In the morning, you'll be taken to Most na Soči train station. Sit back and enjoy the scenic train ride through the beautiful valleys of the Julian Alps and over Slovenia's longest railway bridge. From Bohinjska Bistrica, the hike continues through the picturesque Bohinj Valley, past fields, meadows and traditional Slovenian farms, leading to the charming Bohinj Lake. Enjoy the mountain scenery around the lake or visit the beautiful lakeside church.
Hotel (example): Hotel Jezero
From the shores of Lake Bohinj you'll ascend to the heights of the Pokljuka plateau, a vast area known for its spruce forests, meadows and biathlon arena. The trail leads you through charming small villages and dense forests with views of the Bohinj Valley and the surrounding mountains. Along the way, traditional shepherd's huts invite you to rest and savour local delicacies. Once you reach the summit, you'll spend the night in the middle of nature and breathe in the refreshing, clear mountain air.
Hotel (example): Hotel Jelka
From the plateau with its expansive meadows, you'll hike along varied trails down to the fascinating Pokljuka gorge. After the descent you'll reach Bled, famous for its lake, historic island church and castle. Instead of going straight down, you can climb to the top of Viševnik, which is over 2,000 metres high. You'll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views of the Triglav massif, the Karavanke mountains and the surrounding Alpine peaks. Afterwards, take a shuttle bus to Bled.
