Vitranc

A picturesque glacial valley surrounded by 15 2000m peaks.

Mount Triglav is the 2864-m high "Three-Headed" mountain found on everything Slovenian ranging from the national flag to Laibach's LP Krst pod Triglavom (Baptism under Triglav). While you don't need any climbing skills to ascend it, you should have no fear of heights or steep parts and you should trust your grip. Starting from the nearest mountain hut, the easiest route to the peak will take less than a day. There are many steep parts but everywhere there are cables and metal handles to hold on to. As on all mountains, the weather can be viciously changeable, with temperatures alternating between +30 and -10°C, even in summer. The routes to the top are open only between June and October, and ascending with a guide is, while not legally mandated, very advisable due to the labyrinthine route. Most climbers spend two nights on the route, although fitness nuts have been known to complete it in a single day.

Imposing picturesque fortification positioned above the deep gorge of the Koritnica River.

This smoothly carved ravine is 1-km long and 20-m deep, with hundreds of circular hollows known as river mills. Be careful if it is raining. The 21-m Mostnica Waterfall (Slap Mostnica) is an additional 40-minute walk through the fields to the north.
