experience. Not just because you will appreciate the beautiful countryside and have a good
healthy workout, but also because you will find yourself in calm and not crowded paths, such

destination every day or take up to 3 days organized hike across the Slovenian mountains.
You can opt for an amazing 3 days organized hut to hut tour. The tour starts at the gorgeous
Lake Bohinj and leads past high pastures dotted with grazing cattle, the source of famous
Slovenian cheeses and soured milk. As we ascend further, the terrain will become more
rocky and the scenery will change to majestic rugged slopes with scarce alpine vegetation,
the home of graceful wild climbers, such as chamois or ibex.
