Zelenica in the Karavanke Alps, a highly popular ski resort in the 70s and 80s, used to be a perfect spot for professional training and recreational skiing. While it closed down in 2012, the fun part remains: ski runs for winter backcountry skiers, and easily accessible trails below unbroken ridges for those who prefer to walk. Recommended throughout the year to anyone that is fairly fit (kids aged 8+ years).

Half-day hiking tour near Ljubljana, pick-up in Ljubljana

Just 20 minutes from Slovenia’s capital we explore the southern rim of the Ljubljana Marshes, a Nature Park of 150 km2 and home to hundreds of species of birds, colorful butterflies and other animals due to its great landscape diversity. Our half-day together starts with a forest hike to a beautiful viewpoint at 794 m to admire Triglav, both Julian and Karavanke Alps, while also the neighboring Mt. Krim, the tallest in the Krim hills, ascending as much as 800 m above the plains of the Ljubljana Marshes. From there we delve several kilometers into the Iška Gorge to hike along a refreshing river. We continue to a cute church of St. Ana, one of many churches dominating scenic hillocks of Slovenia, and from there to the Podpeč Lake where we finally relax with a cool drink by the water.

The tour is appropriate for anyone.
