Ridge walk Julian Alps

Fascinating mountain landscape.

This diverse tour leads along mountain ridges on magnificent high-altitude trails and through lush green valleys. You will cross the Julian Alps with the famous Triglav massif and Slovenia's highest mountain at 2,864 metres. Again and again you will come across cosy huts with the typical Oberkrainer charm. The climate is very pleasant in this region, almost Mediterranean. You hike through a diverse landscape of flowers and alpine pastures, enjoying the breathtaking views on the panoramic paths. A highlight of this holiday is Lake Bohinj, framed by rugged and steep mountain peaks. On our hiking tour you can expect an interesting combination of mountain scenery, original villages and places of cultural and historical interest such as Bled.

On the first day, the route takes you through the beautiful natural landscape to the Pokljuka plateau, where a regional ‘Brotzeit’ awaits you at the Lipanška koča hut. The next stage is particularly impressive – the hike to the Planika hut directly below the southern face of Triglav, the highest peak in the country. The following treks are equally spectacular and take you to the Seven Lakes mountain hut, on to the Komna hut and past the Savica waterfall to Ribčev Laz. On the last day of your individual hiking tour, you can hike into the Bohinj valley or relax and review your trekking holiday at the beautiful Lake Bohinj.

Anspruchsvolle Wanderung durch traumhafte Landschaften
- Abwechslungsreiche Wanderung durch teils spektakuläre Landschaften - Schöne und komfortable Hotels - Die Wanderungen sind so gestaltet, dass je nach Kondition bzw. Lust und Laune einzelne Abstecher gemacht werden können, z.B. zu den Savica Wasserfällen - zuverlässiger Transfer vor Ort - gutes Kartenmaterial und Wegbeschreibungen - körperlich anspruchsvoll, v.a. wenn die optionalen Streckenabschnitte gewählt werden - wer über gute Fitness verfügt, kann eine Triglav-Besteigung auch ohne Buchung einer zusätzlichen Nacht vornehmen

Traumhafte Berglandschaft
Vorneweg: Die ganze Organisation & Buchung der Tour war einwandfrei. Sogar in meinem Fall, wo ich sehr kurzfristig gebucht habe. Unterkünfte: Die ausgewählten Hotels haben alle überzeugt. Vor allem das Hotel in Bled bietet eine wundervolle Aussicht auf den Bleder See. Was die Berghütten angeht, tja es sind eben Berghütten, klein aber fein. Besonders für die Planika Hütte auf 2400m empfehle ich ein antibakterielles Handwaschgel, da die sanitären Anlagen dort oben sehr dürftig sind. Essen: In den Hotel eigenen Restaurants kann man sich tolles Essen zu fairen Preisen bestellen. Das Essen in den Hütten war ok, aber da kann man jetzt auch nichts grosses Erwarten. Wandertour: Die ausgewählte Wandertour war wirklich gut gewählt. An manchen Tagen war es sehr anstrengend, aber die Aussicht auf die Berglandschaft hat es wieder wett gemacht. Es sollte allerdings irgendwie eine Ausweichoption am 5. Tag geben. Die Wanderung von der Sieben Seen Berghütte zur Komna Hütte hatte ich bereits um 11:00Uhr hinter mir. Um nicht einen ganzen Tag warten zu müssen, entschied ich die Komna Hütte zu überspringen und direkt ins Hotel in Ribčev Laz runterzugehen. Das haben meine Britischen Wanderkollegen, die ich kennengelernt habe, auch gemacht (selbe Tour). An diesem Tag wandert man also fast 27km, also nur für Hartgesottene!! Fazit: Eine anstrengende, gut durchorganisierte und sehr lohnende Wandertour, mit vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wunderschöne Bergtour
Wir haben die Tour mit unseren drei Kindern ( 11,14,18 ) im August gemacht. Es war eine anspruchsvolle, wunderschöne Tour. Man sollte über Bergerfahrung und entsprechende Kondition verfügen. Der dritte Tag von der Planikahütte zur 7-Seen-Hütte ist mit sehr abwechslungsreicher Berglandschaft und Ausblicken der absolute Höhepunkt. Mit der sehr detailierten und bebilderten Wegbeschreibung haben wir immer unseren Weg gefunden. Die Hotels waren alle sehr schön und das Personal besonders freundlich. Es war eine tolle Urlaubswoche.

Die Reise war wunderbar, zwar anstrengend aber von der Landschaft her war es jede körperliche Mühe wert.
