It is not so much about adrenaline as it is about fun on this crystal clear turquoise river. If you prefer to pump your adrenaline a bit more, we recommend canyoneering! We will also explore the WWI sights in the valley and learn about where & why Ernest Hemingway wrote his book “Farewell to Arms”. After a full and fun day drive all the way to Ljubljana for our final dinner. Overnight in City Hotel, Ljubljana.
Explore the lovely capital city of Ljubljana, its charming streets, churches and squares. A perfect way to end a perfect trip. Get transfers to Ljubljana airport and return home.
Accommodation
Mountain huts offer rooms for 4, 6 or 12 people. It is not possible to have single rooms in the huts. The huts offer food and drinks and provide beds with blankets and “single use” paper bed sheets. Therefore, it is recommended to bring your own cotton/silk sleeping bag liner.
Food
During the trip we will try some delicious Slovenian food and you will taste some typical Alpine dishes. On the days when we sleep in the mountain huts, the food offer is more simple and limited.
Transportation
On the 2nd and 3rd day we can’t transport luggage from hut to hut. For these days you should bring a light backpack for some clothes and personal items. The rest of the luggage will be transported from the hotel in Bled to the hotel in Bohinj.
Hiking
This is an easy hike and doesn’t need any previous experience, however you need to be fit enough to hike around 6-7 hours a day. Donkeys and Horses will be carrying your big duffle bag from place to place with the exception of 2 days where you will need to pack clothes for these 2 days only and carry them with you.
Scenery
You will be hiking through different terrains each day, some by lakes, some by forests and some through glaciers. Being a natural park, the untouched scenery is absolutely stunning and it's guaranteed to keep you in awe throughout the entire hike!
Weather
June to August is summer season in Slovenia, so daytime temperatures can be around 24°C and fall no lower than 12°C in the evenings in Bled. But in the mountains it’s around 0°C to 5°C.
