Description - Trekking in Slovenia by Justi Carey
To mountain walkers, Slovenia is best known for the
Julian Alps, but it has a lot more than that to offer,
and the Slovene High Level Route crosses some of the most
varied and interesting landscapes to be found anywhere in
Europe. From Maribor, close by the Austrian border in the
north-east, to Ankaran on the Adriatic coast in the south-
west, the route covers 500 km of outstanding mountain and
upland walking: the vast forested plateau of Pohorje; the
sheer limestone peaks of the Julian and Kamnik-Savinja
Alps with their via ferrata protected routes; the
traditional alpine pastures and flower-strewn ridges of
the Karavanke; and the forested hills and olive groves of
the limestone karst country that stretch towards the
coast. Available for the first time to English-speaking
walkers, the route is described in a series of 3-6 day
treks of all levels of difficulty, which can be completed
as single sections or linked in a number of ways for
longer holidays.
