Appreciate the serenity as you embark on hiking trails through the valleys, woodland areas and lakes of Slovenia’s only national park.

Stunning pools, forests and the snow-capped peaks of the Julian Alps decorate the varied terrain of Triglav National Park. The region is based around the country’s tallest peak, Mount Triglav. Bring your family on pleasant walks and enjoy a picnic beside a rushing stream in view of the mountains.

The main waterways in the national park are the Sava River and the Soča River. Explore the latter for its waterfalls and rapids. Hike to the Savica Waterfall, with two impressive sections giving the appearance of the letter “A.”

Study the many lakes formed by glaciers around this scenic region. The largest is Lake Bohinj, clean and perfect for swimming and fishing. Rent a boat and take excursions on the water or choose from many other watersports activities. The views of the mountains that encircle the lake are spectacular.

Take the chairlift from the Vogel area at the southwestern part of the lake to get to Mount Triglav, which reaches a height of 9,396 feet (2,864 metres). Ski on the snowy slopes of Vogel in winter.

Follow the markers and plaques of many hiking trails. Beech trees flank the paths of the southern section, while spruce and larch trees occupy the north. It is helpful to have a car to get around the vast park, which covers an area of 207,000 acres (84,000 hectares).

In the southern section of the park, find the Tolmin Gorges and their thermal springs. Cross the picturesque, narrow valley via Devil’s Bridge and capture photos of the rapids and cascades of this pleasant stream. Explore the complex network of tunnels in Dante’s Cave with a guide.

Arrive at the Trenta Lodge Information Centre for presentations on the park’s main features. Organise a guided group tour of the national park by bus or on foot.

Triglav National Park shares borders with Italy and is close to Austria in the northwestern corner of Slovenia. Fly to Jože Pučnik Ljubljana Airport and drive northwest for 25 miles (40 kilometres) to get to this picturesque park.

10/10 Exceptional! (13 reviews)
Exceptional experience! The staff is very attentive to every detail and want to make your stay a 5 Star. The chef prepared meals with outstanding blend of tastes, presented eloquently and provided a personal explanation of the courses. Best flavorful meal with rolling hills and old town historic setting. Five Star!!! We also rode e bikes for 60k and found the rides perfect for this activity and safe. Perfect location to hop on and ride along the river to other towns. Perfect location to access Lake Bled with minutes to the city center. Exceptional property. Enormous amount of heart went into developing this property and it shows with an exception 5 star from room, staff, food, amenities. Definitely would stay again!

8.2/10 Very Good! (42 reviews)
We stayed for five nights. Our arrival was miserable. We drove from Split. Our intention was to arrive by 8pm, but due to some delays, we arrived at 9:30pm. The reception had left at 9pm. The front door was locked. There was a note: call a local number to gain entry. Being from Canada, we tried to avoid costly cellular roaming fees and were travelling with data only (eSIM). So we couldn’t call the number. After trying to contact the property via Expedia (which failed), we finally enabled roaming (expensive), and were able to speak to the property and they talked us into locating keys in a lock box. The room we got was room 7…one of three attic rooms. We had to lug our suitcases way up to an attic level…the stairs were not lighted…and we finally, using the phone’s flashlight, were able to enter the room. This room was built between roof trusses and beams. To get into the beds required climbing over wooden beams while avoiding hitting one’s head on a slanted wall/ceiling. Accessing one bed required climbing under a steel rod while climbing over a wooden beam. Quite dangerous and not acceptable in terms of safety. We stayed in this room for the first night but insisted that we receive a better room. We moved into room 2, not an attic room, for the last four nights. Note…the photos of the attic room skillfully manage to conceal the hazards. The lower level room was much better. It was nice, but there weren’t enough places to stash belongings/towels, but it was clean & tidy
