  • Slovenian Alps
    SLOVENIAN ALPS Mangart, Photo by Bor Rojnik Slovenian Alps are truly remarkable, easily discovered by road as well as by trails suitable for hikers and cyclists. Marvellous panoramas, blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests are surely never to be forgotten and are one of the most fascinating tourist spots in Slovenia. The high summits of the Julian Alps, the Karavanken chain and the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, open up amazing panoramas of the surrounding territory. It is hardly to find such a blooming meadows, alpine pastures and forests, elsewhere in the world within easy reach. The Julian Alps are a mountain range of the great Alps that stretches from northeastern Italy to Slovenia. They cover an estimated 4400 km², of which 1542 km² lies in Slovenia, and rise to 2,864 m at Mount Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia. The entire mountain range constitutes about 150 mountains and is divided into two sections - the Western Julian Alps and the Eastern Julian Alps. 1 The Triglav National Park, boasting a number of peculiarities, is the largest and the earliest protected natural heritage site in the country. It is located in the north-west of Slovenia, more precisely in the Julian Alps. The park was named after the highest mountain of Slovenia, the Triglav, which is located nearly at the center of the park. It is the only National Park in Slovenia and among the earliest European parks. Pokljuka, is the southernmost highland marsh in Europe and a natural habitat of sphagnum moss.

  • Exploring Slovenia's Julian Alps and Beyond
    Exploring Slovenia’s Julian Alps and Beyond Two Treks and Balkan Culture in an Undiscovered Corner of the Alps August 30, 2021 – September 13, 2021 – Trip #2167 Triglav National Park Overview Join us for a wonderful fifteen-day trip to the undiscovered hiking and scenic paradise of Slovenia. We will pass medieval castles, churches, and traditional mountain villages as we walk through valleys, across mountain pastures, and traverse mountain ridges with towering peaks all around us. This trip combines two rugged short treks (one carrying all our gear and staying in mountain huts, and the other staying in hotels with luggage transport), an exciting ascent to Slovenia’s highest peak, and visits to the most scenic and interesting regions of this small, but incredibly beautiful country. A few words about Slovenia itself: it is a small country located in southern central Europe at the intersection of major trade routes and of the Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages and cultures. Historically part of many empires including Rome, Austro-Hungarian, Venice, and France, it is currently a prosperous, democratic European country of two million persons. Over 50% of its landmass remains forested. It is exceptionally bio-diverse for its size particularly as pertains to endemic cave species. Slovenia’s Place in Europe Trip Difficulty This trip is rated strenuous #6. Trip Rating System. Excluding breaks we will hike from five to ​ ​ seven hours per day, between 6 and 14 miles, with an average elevation gain of about 2500 feet. The terrain is rugged and steep in places, and requires agility. There will be sections on narrow trails with exposure (steep drop-offs).

  • Slovenia: the European Cycling Gem You’Ve Never Heard Of
    Slovenia: The European Cycling Gem You’ve Never Heard Of Story and photos by Carolyn Bys and Tyler Robertson fter several years of working, living, and, most important,A cycling around Central Europe, we were excited to finally cross into the northern edge of the Balkan Peninsula and into Slovenia. And, when we arrived, we were smitten. Sitting at the geocultural crossroads between Eastern and Western Europe and the Balkans, Slovenia is a land of contrasts. Italian flavored in the west with a distinct Austrian influence in the north while retaining the veneer of its former identity as Yugoslavia make a unique experience. Almost endless miles of gravel roads carried us over high ridges and along deep valleys. Dozens of storybook villages captured our attention throughout the countryside. Castles and churches seemed to sprout from the hilltops like mushrooms after the rain. Not only did Slovenia have these varied cultural influences, the terrain was equally diverse. We could ride the best of Europe — wine country, the Alps, and the Story and photos by Mediterranean — in a cross-country jaunt of roughly 1,000 kilometers. After an all-too-brief visit on our Carolyn Bys and Tyler Robertson trip from Prague, Czech Republic, to Dubrovnik, Croatia, we resolved to 20 Miles return and discover some of the best A H T R I Grad Slovenian bike-touring routes.

Then, on the initiative taken by the Nature Protection Section of the Museological Society of Slovenia together with the Slovene Alpine Society, a twenty year lease was taken out on the Triglav Lakes Valley area, some 1400 hectares: It was destined to become an "Alpine Protection Park", however permanent conservation was not possible, in 1961, after many years of effort, the protection was renewed this time on a permanent bases and somewhat enlarged, embracing some 2000 hectares. The protected area was officially designated as "The Triglav National Park". Under this act, however, all objectives of a true national park were not attained and for this reason over the next two decades, new proposals for the extension and rearrangement of the protection were put forward. Finally, in 1981, a rearrangement was achieved and the park was given a new concept and enlarged to 838 square kilometres the area which it continues to cover to this day. The park is named after Triglav (2864m), symbol of the Slovenia, which is situated almost in the middle of the protected territory. From it the valleys spread out radial, supplying water to two large river Systems which have their sources in the Julian Alps: the Soča river and the Sava river flowing to the Adriatic and Black Sea respectively.
