Duration: 8 days (may vary)
Areas: Slovenia

Description

The Julian Alps are the most easterly extension of the great Alpine Range. The jagged limestone peaks hold some of Europe's best scenery and walking, with Mount Triglav (the highest in Slovenia) at the centre of the range, and the glacial lakes of Bohinj and Bled far below. For this centre-based trip we stay a few kilometres from Bled in the mediaeval village of Radovljica. During the week we will enjoy five varied walks, both inside the National Park and on the more distant peaks of the Karavanke Range.
