Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival to Jezersko. This small romantic village is situated on Slovene – Austrian border, north of Ljubljana. Its setting in a basin among peaks of Stone Alps makes it a perfect starting point for this trip.
Day 2: Jezersko - Jezersko round walk 2 hrs/ descend and ascend 640 m. A warm-up hike to Ceska koca mountain hut. The walk leads up just above forest line to one of the oldest alpine huts in Slovenia. Return past Shepherds Lake.
Day 3: Jezersko - Preddvor 6 hrs/ descend 1100 m and ascend 900 m. A longer hike down to valley. This days walk begins with a short transfer to the starting point. Following a narrow valley one ascends Baseljsko sedlo, just before reaching a mountain hut on Kokra saddle. This is a wonderful viewpoint and a great setting for a tasty lunch. The afternoon walk descends through hillside villages to Preddvor and past Crnava Lake to our hotel.
Day 4: Preddvor - surrounding Trzic 4 hrs walk / ascend 200 m. A walk in western direction takes you across several typical villages of the area, wide meadows of alpine flowers dotted with famous Slovene hay-drying racks. Trzic used to be a town of shoemakers, should you need new walking shoes - plenty of choice there. The walks goes at the foot of Karawanke range, in distance Julian Alps peaks are visible.
Day 5: Trzic - Begunge 4 hrs walk / descend 700 m, ascend 250 m. A short car transfer to the border and starting point at Ljubelj. A bit unusually the hike begins by a short underground walk through a tunnel, once dug to shorten the merchants route connecting Carniola with Carinthia. Continuing towards west it follows the trails of shepherds, passing wide meadows of alpine flowers. Walking through quiet valley of Draga, underneath ruins of ancient Kamen castle, one reaches Begunje – home of famous Avseniki musicians.
Day 6: Begunje - Bled 5 hrs walk / descend 150 m, ascend 200 m. This is an easy day walk. Leaving Begunje one first climbs to little St. Petrus church, in days of Turkish raids an important sentry point. A longer ridge walk follows, with great views of Julian Alps range on the opposite Sava Valley side. Before reaching Bled, there is time to explore Vintgar gorge – a canyon of River Radovna, part of Triglav National Park.
Day 7: End of Tour or extension of stay in Bled.
