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.

Trenta Valley
The Trenta Valley is one of the most beautiful and untouched valleys in the Julian Alps. It is also the source of the Soča River (known as the Isonzo in Italian), widely regarded as one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe — and we wholeheartedly agree. The valley offers endless opportunities for nature and adventure enthusiasts: rafting, ziplining, hiking, cycling, and more. For us, one of the greatest joys is simply driving through the valley, soaking in its atmosphere and breathtaking beauty.

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.

Vrata Valley
The Vrata Valley is the largest and most accessible valley on the northern side of the Julian Alps. It stretches from the village of Mojstrana to the imposing north face of Triglav. Surrounded by many of the highest peaks in the Julian Alps, the valley serves as an important starting point for hikes. However, it can be enjoyed by anyone—you don’t need to be a mountaineer to visit.
