Triglav National Park Adventure

Your journey kicks off on the shores of Lake Bohinj, one of Slovenia’s most magical spots. From the lakeside village of Stara Fužina, you set off on foot, following a forest path that soon leads you to the enchanting Mostnica Gorge. Crystal-clear waters carve their way through smooth rock, and before you know it, you're crossing the so-called Devil's Bridge. It’s a small but mighty span with a legend of its own. The story goes that villagers made a deal with the devil to build this bridge, but when he came to claim his price, they outsmarted him. The bridge still stands.

Once across, you continue into the serene Voje Valley. But make no mistake: this first stage is no gentle walk. The path steadily climbs, and the elevation gain is real. You’ll feel your legs burn as you push higher through the forest and up onto alpine pastures. After about six hours of hiking, with a fair share of uphill work, you’ll arrive at Vadnikov dom na Velem Polju (1817 m), your mountain refuge for the night. Time to kick back, take in the views and raise a glass to a day well conquered.

While many hikers set their sights on the summit of Mount Triglav today, you’ll skip the crowds and cross straight to Koca na Dolicu, a mountain hut perched at 2210 meters. No need to rush—take your time over breakfast because there’s no big descent on the agenda. The hike takes around two hours and leads you through stunning limestone landscapes on a steady, not-too-technical trail. With a bit of luck, you might even spot an ibex along the way. Once at Dolicu, the legendary hut manager Marian is there to welcome you with stories and good cheer.
