Excursions

We can recommend you take a trip to the Triglav valleys of Vrata, Kot and Krma; stretching from Mojstrana to the foothills and then on to the summit of Triglav (2864metres), Slovenia’s highest mountain. Situated in the Zgornjesavska valley and in the four small adjoining valleys of Planica, Pisnica, Krnica and Martuljski potok, there are 40 kilometres of well-kept footpaths, some of which trail through the Triglav National Park.

Several signposts will tell you when you enter the Triglav National Park. All footpaths are marked on the map and allow you to tailor routes to reflect your own specific needs. Srednji Vrh (960 metres), situated above Gozd-Martuljek offers breathtaking picturesque mountain views. A footpath leads you from Kranjska Gora along the beautiful sun-kissed slopes of Karavanke or in the opposite direction through the Stan valley towards Podkoren with magnificent views of the Julian Alps.

The Krnica valley is accessible via the winding road leaving Kranska Gora and ascending towards Vrsic. Turn off this road at the second bridge over the Pisnica river and let yourself be led along the glacial moraines and grassy slopes to the mighty foothills of the Prisank, Razor and Skrlatica mountains.

From Kranjska Gora, another picturesque footpath will lead you to Tamar; the route begins at the start of the Vitranc chairlift and takes us along the meadows (winter cross-country track) and up what used to be the railway embankment through the forest into the Planica valley and pod Poncami to the alpine hut in Tamar. A section of the land covered by the map belongs to the Triglav National Park, a secured nature spot which is to be preserved in its original beauty.
