Are you up for some relaxing hiking in Slovenia’s lowlands or dynamic highlands and mountains? Are you a mountaineer, do you like climbing? Are you keen on via ferrata routes? Are you looking for ideas for a family outing in nature? Are you a fan of hiking festivals? Or would you like to spend your summer hiking on an interesting long-distance trail
All of this is at your fingertips in Slovenia, a country which covers just over 20,000 square kilometres. It has a network of 10,000 km of well-marked mountain trails and 5,000 km of themed and walking trails. They take you through lowlands, highlands, and the mountains.
In the highland hills, you’ll mostly find forest trails, dirt roads, and paths. Many are suitable for a family walk. You’ll explore the lowlands among gentle hills and plains, vast forests, and vineyards. And our mountains have more than 352 peaks that are higher than 2000 metres. Demanding mountain trails are usually secured with steel wires and metal rungs. Certainly, you also have to take care of your own safety – by having appropriate equipment, knowledge, and by being in a suitable physical and mental condition.
The infrastructure that provides visitors with access to hiking starting points is excellent and distances are short. If, for example, you leave the capital city of Ljubljana early enough, you can enjoy the view from one of our tallest mountains even before noon strikes and then find some refreshment in a nearby river or lake on your way back. yOnour hike, make sure to plan a break in a mountain cabin, where you’ll be served local dishes and herbal teas from nearby meadows. If you decide to spend the night in a mountain cabin or in other specialised hiking accommodation, you can count on authentic friendliness and warmth.
Yes, that’s what Slovenia is all about! Welcome.
