Debela Pec Hiking

Debela Pec Hiking

We start our day with a short drive to the high plateau Pokljuka overlooking the beautiful Bohinj Valley from where we begin our walk at Medvedova Konta. From here we follow a delightful trail through spruce forests before emerging at the snow covered alpine pasture, Planina Lipanca. Here you will see some traditional Slovenian high farm buildings and there is also a mountain hut where we take well needed refreshments. Our trip then progresses over more open ground before emerging on the summit of Debela Pec (2014 metres) commanding stunning panoramic views of the Gorenska region.

With good visibility we will be able to see Lakes Bled and Bohinj, the Julian Alps, Karavanken Alps bordering Austria and south towards the Ljubljana plain. This is a truly breathtaking walk and a gret introduction to Slovenia trekking, suitable for active families and adult groups with average fitness and includes moderate gradients suitable for people of all ages. If you have plenty of energy it may also be structured as a circular walk taking in Planina Javornik where you can see traditional farm buildings evocative of a bygone era and dating back over 100 years dotted around open alpine pasturelands.
