I feel Slovenia HIGHLANDER Hercules Julian Alps starts in Vogel, above Bohinj, a glacial valley embraced by the Julian Alps. Lake Bohinj lies in the heart of the Triglav National Park and is the largest Slovenian natural lake, nested at the foot of unspoilt mountains.

After leaving Vogel, we will hike on a mountain ridge and admire Slovenia's highest mountains (including Triglav). We will head towards hidden beauty; Baška grapa and Podbrdo. From starting in the alpine climate we will slowly enter sub-mediterranean climate and you will feel the difference. We will pass the lively town of Tolmin, visit picturesque village of Livek and pass the Napoleon bridge to finish in Kobarid. But it is not just about hiking, there is something more for each of you. We will be able to learn about geology and history by passing open-air museums with trenches, where Soča battle (one of the biggest battlefields in 1st WW) was held, there will be yoga and meditation classes and interesting storytelling at the evenings. After you cross the finish line, there is another adventure waiting for you. You just have to refresh yourself in the emerald Soča river. Soča is a wild pearl of Julian Alps, with drinkable water that only reaches 12 degrees during summer. But the adventure still doesn’t stop there; you can return to Bohinj with a train through a railway tunnel, which is excavated under the mountain chain you just climbed. 

I feel Slovenia HIGHLANDER Hercules Julian Alps is a challenge that requires preparation but you don’t need to be an experienced mountaineer. You need to be in good physical condition, used to hiking. Technically the route is easy, however in a short part in Day 1 and Day 2, the route is partly demanding. And of course, you need a desire to be part of an unforgettable adventure!
