Mangart Saddle

The road to Mangart Saddle is the highest in Slovenia, reaching a peak altitude of 2,072 meters. It was built in 1938 by the Italian army under Mussolini, as this part of Slovenia belonged to Italy at the time. The ascent is narrow, with many hairpin bends, and the road is quite exposed, making it unsuitable for the faint-hearted. However, once you reach the top, you are rewarded with fantastic natural scenery and breathtaking panoramic views.

Golica

Golica is a peak (1,835 m) in the Karawanke range on the border between Slovenia and Austria. Its German name is Kahlkogel. The mountain is famous for its fields of daffodils that bloom on the slopes in spring (April–May), but it’s worth visiting throughout the summer months as the view from the summit is phenomenal. The hike to the top from the Golica plateau just below the summit is relatively short.

Mount Stol (Hohstuhl)

Mount Stol is the highest peak in the Karawanke range. Climbing it is an amazing natural experience, and it takes a full day to reach the summit and return. Once you complete the climb, you’re left with an incredible sense of accomplishment and a memory that stays with you for a long time. For me, Stol was the first mountain I climbed in the Karawanke range, having previously mostly climbed peaks in the Julian Alps and the Kamnik–Savinja Alps.
