Guided walking in Slovenia is meant for those hiking enthusiasts, that enjoy mountains, having a view of the crystal velar Alpine lakes and soft paths carved into slopes overgrown with pastures.
We begin our guided walking in Slovenia tour ' Between pastures and lakes' near waterfall Savica, the source of Lake Bohinj in the heart of Triglav national park. The hardest part of the trip is the gravel path made by the Italians in WW1 that leads to the mountain hut on Komna. From here on we make our way past solitary mountains, accompanied by the sweet smell of dwarf pine and rhododendron, to the glacier valley, home of the crystal clear Triglav lakes. Those who have a strong heart have an ice bath waiting for them, to strengthen your heart even more.
On the second day we will go back in time, to when the alpine pastures and mountains were full of cows and goats. Only a few remnants of those times remain places where you can taste sour milk, žganci (hard boiled buckwheat or corn mush) and cheese. We will take delight in observing Alpine peaks and sunbathing on the soft mountain grass. For those who missed a bath in the first two days, they will have a beautiful mountain lake waiting for them on the Planina near the lake.
