The trek begins on the Pokljuka Plateau at Rudno Polje, a high alpine starting point that allows a gradual and well-paced ascent into the heart of the Julian Alps. The trail leads through open mountain terrain and past Vodnikov Dom before climbing higher into a rugged limestone landscape beneath Triglav’s south face. As the tree line fades, wide alpine views open up, giving a true sense of entering Slovenia’s high mountains. The day ends at Planika Hut, spectacularly positioned directly below Mount Triglav.

• Distance: ~9–10 km

• Elevation gain: +1,100–1,200 m

• Hiking time: 6–7 hours

• Overnight: Planika Lodge below Triglav

After the break, follows slow ascent on a more rocky terrain towards Planika hut. Trail gets steeper and at some points, we will help ourselves with cables for easier progression. Furthermore enjoy the change of scenery, as you will come from a green forestry world to a mystic high mountain one. Have some rest at Konj Pass and slowly climb on a rocky and steep terrain, however easy to follow the trail towards the hut. (2h 30 min)

Once you reach Planika hut on 2400 m, can afford traditional dinner and spend overnight in a cozy dorm.

An early start brings the highlight of the journey: the ascent of Mount Triglav (2864 m), Slovenia’s highest and most iconic peak. The climb follows a marked alpine route across exposed but well-secured terrain, rewarding hikers with unforgettable views across the Julian Alps and deep into neighboring mountain ranges. After time on the summit, the route descends to Kredarica, the most famous mountain lodge in Slovenia, where the evening is spent surrounded by high alpine scenery.

Leaving the dramatic summit environment behind, the route traverses across the high alpine plateau toward Prehodavci Pass. This is a scenic transition day, combining elevated walking with expansive views and a steady descent into the softer, water-rich landscape of the Triglav Lakes Valley.
