Southern rim of the Ljubljana Marshes
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.

Itinerary
Visitors of Ljubljana, we’ve heard you. To escape the bustling city life you are welcome to join us on this 6-hour adventure in the fascinating hillside just 20 minutes south of Ljubljana.
We meet in the city center and drive to the start of our first hiking trail to a fairly unknown 794-m peak, but nonetheless offering breathtaking views. We might stumble upon footprints of a brown bear, known to be roaming the forests south of Ljubljana, and see deer flee as we hike to the viewpoint to soak up views of rolling green hills, the plains of the marshes adorned with the Alpine world in the background. After the hike we drive shortly to the refreshing Iška Gorge and follow the Iška River as far into the wild gorge as we possibly can. We enjoy a picnic on a secluded spot by the river, surrounded by steep forested walls. From there we drive to the western side of the Krim hills and visit St. Ana, a 15th-century church, located on a hillock where remains of a prehistoric settlement have been found. As our last stop we visit the Podpeč Lake, which is one of the deepest lakes of Slovenia with its 51 m depth, freshen up in the water (if wanted) and cheer to our outdoor adventure.
