Itinerary of the trip

The tour begins in Bohinj in the village of Stara Fužina. The initial kilometers will gradually warm you up as you follow the Mostnica River through the picturesque Voje Valley. The river molded the stunning Mostnica Gorge. After reaching the end of the valley, you will be able to enjoy the calm natural ambiance of the Voje Waterfall. A steeper and physically more demanding climb to the Uskovnica mountain pasture follows. The trail winds through a shadowy forest and is not too difficult, but it requires basic stamina, hiking experience, and proper footwear. After reaching a wider cart track, the incline gets less steep, and you soon reach the recently-renovated Uskovnica Alpine Hut.

Hiking

9 km and 800 m of elevation gain/ 200 m of elevation loss

Accommodation

Planinska koča na Uskovnici

Recently-rebuilt and modern hut on the west side of the Pokljuka Plateau.

Note: Listed accommodations are subject to availability; we will find similar alternatives if necessary.

You’ll start the day with a gradual ascent towards the charming Konjščica mountain pasture. The subsequent climb towards the Srenjski Preval pass gets steeper and rockier. After that, you can opt for a climb up the Mt. Viševnik. If not, however, you will follow the grassy ridge across the Debeli Vrh mountain peak until you descend to the cozy Blejska Hut on the Lipanca mountain pasture. Breathtaking views over the Julian Alps will accompany you while walking along the ridgeline. This stage offers one of the most mesmerizing views of Slovenia’s highest mountain peak, Mt. Triglav.

Hiking

11 km and 1100 m of elevation gain / 950 m of elevation loss

Accommodation

Blejska koča na Lipanci

A small and cozy hut on a mountain pasture above the Pokljuka Plateau.

Note: Listed accommodations are subject to availability; we will find similar alternatives if necessary.

Gallery

Your final day will see you ascend above 2000 meters of elevation, climbing one of the best viewpoints in the area. The climb to the Debela Peč mountain peak is gradual and pleasant. In any case, you can always decide to skip it if your energy level won’t allow it, as you’ll be descending by the same route. You’ll follow the path through the wooded Pokljuka Plateau afterward until you reach the Zajavornik mountain pasture, where you can visit an authentic cheese dairy and buy locally produced cheese. From there, it’s not far to the Goreljek, where your adventure concludes. A free bus will pick you up at the intersection with the main road, only a few minutes from Goreljek. It can take you to Bohinj or Bled.

NOTE: The bus does not operate outside the summer season, but we can arrange a transfer for you if you visit during that time.

Hiking

11 km and 550 m of elevation gain / 950 m of elevation loss

Additionally, you can extend your hiking through the fourth day by sleeping at the hotel in Goreljek. If you wish to return to where you began, you can head over the Pokljuka Plateau toward the Zajamniki mountain pasture. It’s one of the most stunning places in the Julian Alps, where you can delight in the view of the whole pasture, dotted with wooden shepherd huts and a mountain vista in the background. After that, you follow a steeper path descending to Stara Fužina. Descending to Bled is another option if you wish to visit Lake Bled. You will strike across the Pokljuka Plateau, visit some less-known mountain pastures, and gently descend to Bled.

Hiking

Option 1: 13 km and 210 m of elevation gain / 900 m of elevation loss

Option 2: 17 km and 160 m of elevation gain / 940 m of elevation loss

This tour takes you through the heart of the Julian Alps while sticking to the technically less demanding wooded slopes, grassy ridges, and picturesque pastures. A bit easier than our Seven Lakes Valley Hut to Hut Hike due to being less rocky, it boasts one of the most beautiful views of Mt. Triglav and is doable off-season when the majority of the huts already close their doors.

The route takes you from Bohinj to the Pokljuka Plateau and can include a descent to Bled. Along the way, you will come across many mountain pastures, each boasting a unique identity with its wooden cottages and lively Alpine ambiance.

You will run into a few steeper climbs but mostly hike on pleasant forest paths across Pokljuka Plateau, follow the Mostnica River along the Voje Valley, and traverse a wide ridge above the Krma Valley.

There will not be any lack of views either. Aside from the scenic ridgeline and the majestic view of Mt. Triglav, you will also find yourself stopping to glance back at Bohinj and the mountains on the southern side of the valley.

And to top it all off, you will spend at least two nights in the heart of the Triglav National Park, away from the hustle and bustle of the urban areas. The Blejska and Uskovnica mountain huts have been recently renovated and offer enough comfort while keeping you well-fed with their delicious traditional meals from local ingredients.

The whole path allows a lot of flexibility, and we can adjust this hut-to-hut hiking tour to your preferences, experience, and capabilities. We can include a climb to any surrounding mountain peaks if the conditions allow it or extend your stay by taking you even further into the pristine nature of the Julian Alps.

If you do not feel confident enough to take this trip by yourself, we can arrange for a professional mountain guide to accompany you.

You will also receive unmatched support from our team and an optional transfer to and from Bohinj or Bled.

NOTE: Be sure to book enough time in advance, as the huts can get quite busy, especially during summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our guided walking tours are led by UIMLA or IMFGA internationally licensed guides who have completed many years of training to make your walking holidays both safe and enjoyable. They are enthusiastic individuals who are ready to share their passion for Slovenia and its rich culture and nature with you, and make your walking holiday one to remember.

We are always looking for the perfect fit for you. We use a few different accommodation providers that fit our standards but they are subjected to availability, especially in the high season. We can also adjust the holiday, keeping in mind your preferences and budget and can always find a more suitable solution for your taste.

We recommend booking as early as possible. Slovenian mountain huts are very popular and get booked up several weeks in advance, especially on weekends. If your booking is late, we will try our best to find a suitable alternative. Sometimes, last-minute spots open up. However, we cannot guarantee a free spot.

All of the huts offer vegetarian options and usually at least one vegan option. Still, kitchens high up are basic, so don’t expect too many choices. Huts generally serve authentic meals like stews, soups, and sausages. If you have strict dietary restrictions, consider bringing your own food as they can’t make a special meal per request.

If you want to, sure! We are well aware that some people love to stay in groups while others prefer some more alone time on their trip. We wanted to give you the opportunity to do things your way. It is your holiday, after all! As long as you respect the group timings and locations designated by your guide, please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure!

Depending on the tour, some of our tours go through high mountains and there is still snow in spring (sometimes as late as early June) and autumn (sometimes as early as October). Other tours don’t go as high and are suitable for spring and autumn as well as summer. Read more about hiking seasons in Slovenia.

Most of the tours can be done even in light rain, as long as you dress accordingly. It is not unusual in the summer that there are afternoon thunderstorms, so early starts are advisable. If the weather looks really bad, we will try to reschedule or propose an alternative tour.

Some of our tours are hut-to-hut tours, with overnights in authentic mountain huts. Try to pack light, only take what you really need. You need your passport or ID for check-in, and some cash is advisable if the internet is down. Bring your sleeping liner and earplugs for the night, and toothbrush and body wipes for hygiene. You don’t need slippers, they are in the hut already

9 day hiking trip including rafting and mountain biking. Sadly the weather didn’t help, we had a lot of rain, but Klemen modified our plans, making it a great experience after all. Klemen is an excellent guide and I highly recommend him!!!

We had an incredible trek! The itinerary was exactly what we wanted, communication was excellent with the company. They were so helpful throughout the planning process and when we were in country. Slovenia exceeded our expectations. We can't recommend them enough!

A very good travel agency (also known as "Slovenia Cycling Holidays") who worked flexibly with me to develop our tailor-made holiday based on the self-guided hike and bike tour. Staff were always pleasant and responsive and patient with changing plans. Note this is not a bike holiday operator so, while they book hotels, taxis to move your luggage, hire bikes and a guide for walking, they don't provide technical back up, a van or their own bikes customised for touring. We therefore had to ask a few questions about those small but essential things like where to leave luggage, when bikes would be delivered and where were our promised phone holders (essential as you use your own phone for navigating). The hike and bike is a brilliant concept, as you miss out on the interior of the mountains if you only travel by road. The route was very good, hotels were all great, and the guide (see separate review on "Triglav Tours") amazing. Sadly, though, we did not receive the call on the rainy day (as another reviewer mentions) to arrange faster luggage delivery after a short, but drenching, ride. We tried to get this, but It in fact came late, so we were stuck in a hotel room in Bled for 4 hours on a sunny afternoon with nothing but hotel bathrobes to wear! Our contact responded when we asked for help, but we did not experience the proactivity mentioned by others. That said, the company clearly have well established links with excellent providers and can be trusted to put everything in place and to respond quickly if an arrangement has fallen through. Recommended, but be prepared to be involved yourself in the finer details.

We went on a trip to Slovenia for hiking, ferrata, rafting, and biking. Klemen was an excellent guide and was very flexible in changing the schedule due to rain. I would highly recommend Klemen and his co-guides to everyone. He is very athletic and also just a great person.
