In addition to being good way to do excercise, I also got to learn many things about local history, cuisine and culture from the guide. Very positive experience overall and I was left with a feeling that I would like to come back and do some more hiking in Slovenia.”

Not only was our guide Jerry was amazing guy but his wealth of experience in the mountains was second to none and wouldn’t have been as fun without him.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 8 hours · from $165

Travel from Bled to Pokljuka Plateau, then hike to 2,014-meter Debela Peč with an English-speaking guide. Expect about five to six hours on foot, broad views of the Julian Alps, Lake Bled, and the Karavanke Ridge, plus traditional food at a mountain hut. Fit children can join, but the final climb can be moderately challenging.

“Amazing hike with two lovely guides! It was our first time hiking in snow but they were really reassuring and well prepared for the hike. The views on the way up and at the top was magnificent! The trail started off easy and got harder towards the top but it was worth the effort. We stopped by a hut halfway and had a hearty meal (big portion!). The guy manning the hut was very friendly as well and gave us homemade bread and cake! This was the main highlight of our trip and though it was moderately challenging, we will highly recommend this to beginners who are fit and adventurous!…”
