The first day of hiking takes you up into the mountains. If you wish, a shuttle bus will take you to a higher starting point at Planina Blato. The hike crosses mountain pastures and the Orne Valley. You will see shepherds' houses that have been producing cheese for centuries, some of which still continue the tradition. The hike continues to the Triglac Lakes Refuge via Double Lake.

Lake Bohinj (Bohinjsko jezero) is Slovenia’s largest glacial lake. It is situated within Triglav National Park. Less crowded than Lake Bled, it is well worth a visit.
Nearby, Savica Waterfall is the perfect addition to this hike.

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.

If you want to see the two most beautiful viewpoints of Lake Bled, I recommend this hike.There are several climbs to tackle, but the rewards at the top are well worth it; you’ll be able to admire a magnificent view of the lake.For hiking enthusiasts, this is a great route with well-maintained, shaded and signposted paths.Despite the challenges—which vary from person to person—you can always take a dip in the lake on the way back down. After all that effort, it’s time for some well-deserved relaxation!

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.

Beautiful hikes
The ascent via the Zimska pot route is difficult as there is a 4-metre section on a vertical wall where you have to hold on to a cable and place your feet on metal pitons above the void... you may prefer to ascend via Pl. Pos Golico Kocana Golici.
