★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 3 hours · from $116

Escape Bled for a private Pokljuka Gorge hike through wild forest, streams, secret passages, and Triglav National Park.

“The trail is not the most amazing one can do but all the stories our guide Primo told us made one of the most interesting. We learned about the forest, the region and the people. And guess what the guide gave us a ride to the entrance of Vingar Gorge that helped us save a precious time. The gorge is surely a must see too.”

5.Velika Planina Guided Hike from Ljubljana

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 5 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $89

Review of the Velika Planina hike from Ljubljana, with alpine views, shepherd huts, practical tips, safety notes, and honest value advice.

“I thought this was going to be a nice hike through beautiful scenery. While the scenery was nice, the hike itself was not safe. You will walk up a winding somewhat steep gravel road which wasn’t too bad. This is followed by climbing up big boulders where swarms of flies live. There were so many, that if you proceed to get a better view, be careful. Trying to swat them off of you while climbing can cause a fall. My guide also went over barb wire to get an even better view. When you see barb wire, it means stay out not climb over. I unfortunately fell when walking back…”

6.Panoramic Hike in Julian Alps

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 8 hours · from $165

Review of Slovenia’s Debela Peč hike from Bled, with Julian Alps views, a mountain hut meal, transport, guide, costs, and practical tips.

“Amazing hike with two lovely guides! It was our first time hiking in snow but they were really reassuring and well prepared for the hike. The views on the way up and at the top was magnificent! The trail started off easy and got harder towards the top but it was worth the effort. We stopped by a hut halfway and had a hearty meal (big portion!). The guy manning the hut was very friendly as well and gave us homemade bread and cake! This was the main highlight of our trip and though it was moderately challenging, we will highly recommend this to beginners who are fit and adventurous!…”
