Description
Traversing Slovenia’s diverse landscapes.
The Slovene Mountain Trail extends from Maribor, near the Austrian border, to Ankaran on the Adriatic Sea. The route connects forested areas, mountain ranges, and karst landscapes into one extensive trek. This book provides a comprehensive overview of this connection, while also demonstrating how shorter sections can offer rich experiences without completing the entire multi-week journey.
Multi-day treks that can be linked.
The approximately 550-kilometer route is presented in sections of three to six days. This structure allows users to select a specific region of Slovenia or to follow the entire comprehensive route. This division is beneficial for planning transport and accommodation around a limited holiday, while also providing a foundation for continuing the project at a later date.
Maps and practical assistance for mountain trekking.
Route descriptions and maps support planning through Pohorje, Karavanke, the Kamnik–Savinja Alps, and the Julian Alps. Practical information assists in assessing the feasibility and connections between areas. The guide thus offers both a broader overview and detailed information for individual trekking sections, enabling a long journey to be broken down into more manageable choices before departure.
For experienced hikers with alpine proficiency.
Some sections traverse demanding mountain terrain, requiring greater skill than a typical village-to-village walk. Good physical condition, navigation abilities, and relevant alpine skills are essential, and conditions must be evaluated according to the season. The guide is suitable for independent trekkers who can differentiate between various route sections and select an itinerary that aligns with their experience, equipment, and the prevailing mountain conditions.
A long tradition of hiking guides.
Cicerone has published guidebooks since 1969. The publisher originated among climbers and mountaineers who sought to share their thorough knowledge of routes – a tradition that continues to characterize the publisher’s books on walking, trekking, and other outdoor experiences.
