Alpine trip

ALPINE TRIP

The Gorenjska region, nestled in the heart of the Julian Alps, is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and diverse attractions. From serene nature reserves and pristine alpine lakes to world-class sporting destinations, this area offers unforgettable experiences at every turn. Highlights include the enchanting Zelenci Springs, the tranquil Lake Jasna, and the iconic Planica Nordic Ski Center, all surrounded by awe-inspiring mountain landscapes.

ZELENCI SPRINGS

The Zelenci Springs Nature Reserve enchants visitors with its tranquil beauty and unique ecological significance. At its heart are the crystal-clear turquoise springs, which form a series of enchanting ponds and streams, surrounded by lush wetlands and dense forests. This protected area is a sanctuary for diverse plant and animal species, including rare birds and amphibians. A wooden boardwalk offers an intimate glimpse into this delicate ecosystem while preserving its pristine state. The springs maintain a constant temperature of 6 degrees Celsius year-round, ensuring that the waters never freeze. As the source of Slovenia’s longest river, the Sava, which ultimately flows into the world-renowned Danube River, Zelenci holds both natural and historical importance.

LAKE JASNA

Lake Jasna is an alpine gem that captivates visitors with its emerald-green waters and tranquil surroundings. Framed by the majestic peaks of the Julian Alps, the lake offers a serene setting for leisurely strolls, picnics, and breathtaking photo opportunities. At its entrance stands the proud statue of Zlatorog, the mythical golden-horned ibex, a symbol of the region’s folklore and a favorite spot for visitors to capture memorable moments. For those seeking relaxation, the lakeside is perfect for sipping morning coffee while soaking in the stunning alpine views, making it a beloved retreat for nature lovers.

PLANICA & TAMAR VALLEY

The Planica Nordic Ski Center is a symbol of Slovenia’s sporting heritage and a must-visit destination for adventure enthusiasts. Famous for its massive ski jumping hill, where world records have been set, Planica is also a hub for cross-country skiing and winter sports. The center’s trails weave through snow-covered forests and open up to breathtaking views of the Julian Alps. Visitors can test their courage by ascending the ski jumping hill or exploring the picturesque Tamar Valley, a tranquil area surrounded by towering peaks such as Mojstrovka, Travnik, and Jalovec. The Tamar mountain hut offers a warm welcome and refreshments, making it an ideal spot to unwind while marveling at the beauty of the high-altitude landscapes.

This carefully curated journey through Gorenjska guarantees an experience filled with natural wonders, cultural richness, and unforgettable memories, culminating in a late afternoon return to Ljubljana.
