From the Triglav massif to Lake Bled

We explore Ljubljana with a local guide who takes us through its lively squares, iconic bridges, and neighborhoods where Plečnik's influence is evident in every building. This exploration gives us a deeper understanding of the Slovenian way of life. In the evening, we share a dinner that truly kicks off our adventure.

We set off for Bled*, one of the country's most iconic landscapes. The day begins in the Vintgar Gorge, where wooden walkways guide us between steep walls and translucent waters. We continue with a hike around the lake, punctuated by viewpoints offering unique perspectives of this alpine setting. A picnic lunch and dinner are included so you can fully enjoy this majestic scenery. After the hikes and dinner in Bled, we collect our luggage from the left luggage office, then take the train, followed by a bus journey, to Kranjska Gora.

*In Bled, we will leave our luggage in secure storage facilities for the duration of our day.

From our accommodation, we set off directly on foot to explore the Mostnica Gorge. The path follows the meanders of a clear stream, between pools and rock formations. We continue in a loop until we reach the Martuljek waterfalls, where the water carves its way between wooded walls. The gentle incline allows us to walk at a leisurely pace and fully appreciate these landscapes.

This is one of the highlights of the trip. From the village, we embark on a steady climb towards Vitranc, and then, if the group is feeling up to it, on to the summit of Ciprnik. The 900 meters of elevation gain require a good effort, but the view gradually opens up to reveal the surrounding ridges and valleys. Those who prefer a more leisurely pace can stop at Vitranc, which already offers an incredible view of a truly magical panorama.

We take a public bus to Mojstrana before beginning a hike in the Vrata Valley, a wide glacial valley surrounded by forests and limestone cliffs. The trail remains accessible and leads us to the Peričnik Waterfall, particularly impressive with its vertical cascade. We enjoy a warm break at a mountain restaurant along the way. The Mountaineering Museum, located near the starting point, can be visited as an optional activity to learn more about the history of Slovenian mountaineering!

A taxi takes us to the Vršič Pass, already situated at a high altitude. From there, we begin a short but very scenic hike to Slemenova Špica (1911 m). The summit offers a breathtaking view of the Julian Alps, with their steep walls and hanging valleys. We take some time to enjoy this viewpoint before descending back to the pass and returning by taxi to our accommodation in Kranjska Gora.

We take a public bus back to Ljubljana. End of our stay and last chance to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the capital.
