Day 1: Bohinj to Pokljuka

The tour begins in Bohinj, the village of Stara Fužina, to be precise. The initial kilometers will gradually warm you up as you follow the Mostnica River through the picturesque Voje Valley. The river formed numerous erosion potholes in its river bed, molding 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. If you are up for grabbing a bite of delicious local cuisine, you can do so at the nearby hut. 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, where you spend the night.

Hiking

9 km (5,6 mi), 800 vertical meters up (2600 feet), 200 meters down (660 feet)

Day 2: Ridge above Krma Valley

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, especially toward the top of it.

After that, you can opt for a climb up the Viševnik, but the trail is quite exposed. 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, where you spend the second night.

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 (6,8 mi), 1100 vertical meters up (3600 feet), 950 meters down (3200 feet)

Day 3: Debela Peč summit and descent to Pokljuka

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 and shouldn’t be too big of a challenge for your tired legs. 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 sports hotel, 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, where you can spend some additional nights if you wish.

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

Hiking

Extra days: Descent to Bohinj or Bled

Additionally, you can extend your hiking through the fourth day by sleeping at the hotel in Goreljek and descending to Bled or Bohinj in the morning.

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. You’ll know you’re at the end when you see the magical lake with an island in its middle!

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 24/7 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.

Triglav is amongst the most popular mountains in Slovenia. It has a great symbolic value for us and the saying goes that you are not a true Slovenian until you stand on its summit. Therefore, you can expect a lot of people on the mountain in the high season (July-September), especially on weekends. On week-days, however, it is much more peaceful. Luckily, our guides have some tricks up their sleeves when it comes to avoiding the crowds. Hint: they know exactly when and where to go.

Thousands of people climb Mt.Triglav every year. Some come better prepared than others, who underestimate the climb, which can lead to accidents. But with the right approach, knowing the weather conditions (especially the possibility of thunderstorms and snowfall), with the proper safety equipment and an experienced guide, you can minimize the objective dangers and feel completely safe.

Mountain huts in the Slovenian mountains are very cosy and authentic, but provide only basic comfort. Don’t expect too much luxury. Early bookings are usually rewarded with a room but if all rooms are full there are dormitories. There is no shower and the lavatories are basic. There is running water but it is not drinkable. The food is tasty and local but the menu is limited to a few dishes and drinks.

The earlier the better. The highest season, from July to September, it is not unusual for huts to be fully booked for months ahead. Weekdays are better but we still suggest bookings at least a month in advance. Last-minute bookings are very dependable on the weather – if the forecast is not a perfect bluebird, then some spots usually become available a few days before.
