Julian Alps

The Triglav National Park encompasses the whole northwestern region of Slovenia. The Julian Alps, the furthest extremities of the Alps, provide a stunning landscape full of majestic mountains, attractive lakes, and romantic valleys. The entire region is beautiful, so it's no surprise that it's recently grown in popularity, bringing more and more outdoor enthusiasts from throughout the continent. At first glance, the Julian Alps may appear to be dwarfed by the towering peaks of France, Italy, or Switzerland. What they lack in grandeur, they make up for in diversity.

Because the Julian Alps aren't exceptionally high, even the most famous summits are accessible to non-alpinists. Triglav itself is the highest summit, at just 2864 meters. Meanwhile, much of the park may be explored on foot without any particular equipment or skills. This makes hiking in Triglav National Park incredibly profitable. There are several routes available here, ranging from brief couple-hour excursions to multi-day adventures. You won't feel out of place whether you like a leisurely stroll or a difficult hike. Another advantage of Triglav National Park and Slovenia in general is that it is still a relatively unknown tourism destination.

This means it's not overcrowded, even throughout the holiday season. You can enjoy its incredible nature in peace and relative solitude. And nature is indeed breathtaking. Emerald water streams, rolling hills, glacial lakes, and panoramic mountain landscapes are just a fraction of what you’ll experience in the Julian Alps. So, without further ado, let’s dive right into the area’s most remarkable hikes.
