Welcome to Hooked on Walking Holidays and our walking holidays in Slovenia. This particular hiking vacation in Slovenia through the wonderful Slovenian Alps has been graded as a level 2 walking tour. We have developed a short break walking tour slightly easier than our Slovenian Alps walking tour. This hike is a collection of different grade walks, however none of them have a climbers rate. In general you will walk mountain ridges, mountain meadows, valley floors, slowly descending from east to west. The landscape has an Alpine character. Your starting location Jezersko means “ place with the lake “ . When the glacier melted after the last Ice Age a large lake was formed which remains to this day. From here you walk to the world famous Bled and its lake with an old church on an island in the middle. Why not stay as extra nights in Bled where you can have time in the town or explore with a further walk.
Available 14th May to 1st October
Level 2 self guided tour
