About the experience
The journey begins beneath the towering walls of Triglav in the peaceful Trenta Valley. Historic mule tracks lead past remote alpine pastures and towards a mountain pass between Ozebnik and Kanjavec.
The route then continues through the Triglav Seven Lakes Valley, surrounded by clear alpine lakes and white limestone peaks. After crossing the traditional Bohinj dairy pastures, the circular trail returns beneath Triglav and descends into the Zadnjica Valley.
The terrain is technically non-exposed and does not require climbing skills. However, the long hiking days and significant elevation gain require good fitness and some previous mountain hiking experience.
