The Julian Alps
A large part of the alpine terrain of Slovenia including
its highest peak, Mt. Triglav, is protected by the Triglav National
Park. The park boasts a variety of trails, huts and an amazing scenery.
One of the reasons for chosing Slovenia was that we wanted to go hiking
and camping and for this the park was the perfect destination. With
the little help of a campsite leaflet that we found in Ljubljana we
chose lake Bohinj as our first destination. The compromise, a trade-off
between remoteness and accessibility by public transport, turned out
to be a great choice. In the South-East corner of this beautiful lake,
right at the shore, we found a shady campground. The next food store
was on the other side of the lake in Ribcev Laz, but enough day tourists
guaranteed good hitchhiking opportunities. This spot was a great base
for day trips into the alpine terrain, with many waterfalls and beautiful
scenery. To save some breath, there was also the possibility to take
a cableway up to the Southern ridge. We spent a couple of days in this
area and even tried some rock climbing in a neighbouring village before
we boarded the train and headed South to Kobarid.
