Breakfast
Hotel

Your hiking guide will pick you up at your accommodation.

The luggage you won’t need during hiking will be transferred to your next hotel, meanwhile you will start your hiking day early in the morning. Don’t forget to pack some snacks and enough water.

This day’s path leads up to the lake near the hut Koča na Planini pri Jezeru. At the starting point in Stara Fuzina, you pass by beautiful villages.

It takes up 1.5 hours to the first viewing point over Bohinj lake on Mt. Vogar, and then we continue to the lake near Koča na Planini pri Jezeru. Altogether it is approx. 4.5 hours hiking on this day.

At leisure. In the evening dinner at the mountain hut is included.

Overnight in Koča na Planini pri Jezeru. Bedrooms are shared, but fresh and clean bed linen is provided so you don’t need sleeping bags.

Ascent: 900 m
Approx. hiking time: 4-5 hours

Breakfast, Dinner
Mountain hut

After breakfast start your second hiking day.

From the hut at Planina pri Jezeru you make a short ascent to Planina Dedno Polje and take a path to the right; the landscape gradually becomes more open, resembling a wonderland of green bursting with colourful flowers. Continue with a relaxed hike to Hut at Triglav Double Lake.

Dinner and overnight at mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih. Bedrooms are shared, but fresh and clean bed linen is provided so you don’t need sleeping bags.

Ascent: 250 m
Approx. hiking time: 2 hours

You can do additional stops on the way or include some other hiking destination – it all depends on the weather conditions and your physical strength. Your mountain guide will suggest you best options on the day of the hike.

Breakfast, Dinner
Mountain hut

On this day you start descending back down to Bohinj Valley. The last destination in the mountains will be one of the most beautiful ones – Komna Plateau.

Komna Hut, where you will spend the night, may have been built purely to showcase the spectacular view from this vantage point. Poised on the edge of the Komna Plateau, the earth drops away from the terrace to reveal Bohinj Lake sprawling across the valley 900 metres below. A single verdant green valley kisses the shores of the lake, but otherwise it is completely enclosed by an amphitheatre of forested slopes and craggy mountains.

Dinner and overnight at Komna mountain hut. Bedrooms are shared, but fresh and clean bed linen is provided so you don’t need sleeping bags.

Ascent: 135 m
Descent: 305 m
Approx. hiking time: 3 hours

Breakfast, Dinner

Wave a final goodbye to the mountains and begin the long descent from Komna Hut down to the valley.

The path – a well-made gravel track – enjoys a gentle gradient, full of large, sweeping bends. This is because it was an important supply trail during World War I, with 40 – 50 tonnes of cargo carried to the mountains each day. Just before you reach Bohinj Lake, a detour to the Savica Waterfall is a must-do. This waterfall mysteriously appears out of the mountain, plunging 78 metres into an emerald pool. This dramatic spectacle is merely the start of a grand journey for this water which will finish, in around 60 days, in the Black Sea.

Continue with a short walk to the shores of the lake. Bohinj Lake is the jewel in Triglav National Park, and a swim in its warm, turquoise waters is the perfect medicine after days of traversing the Julian Alps. Some free time to enjoy swimming, kayaking, SUPing or simply resting after a long hike.

In the late afternoon private transfer to neighbour, more famous Lake Bled. Rest of the day at leisure.

Ascent: 180 m
Descent: 1150 m
Approx. hiking time: 5 hours
