A challenging hike, with a fairly steady gradient, leading to a summit offering sweeping views: the Julian Alps with their Slovenian peaks (Triglav, etc.), the mountains along the border with Italy and beyond, and the Adriatic Sea (Trieste). Best undertaken in clear weather.

Departure from Slovenia
A long and very beautiful route with some striking views, which allows you to stay as cool as possible by not exceeding 1,700 m. Very pleasant in summer as there are lots of forests, few sections with a gradient of more than 15% on the way up, and it is fully marked, so there are no surprise trails. There are a few steep descents.
