High route of the Triglav

Just like an open air geography lesson, you are at the heart of one of the largest karstic networks in the Alps with its gorges, sinkholes, caves, poljés, swallow holes, dry valleys and other new river sources. The so-called Triglav represents the highest point of the Julian Alps. We will walk alternately through crests and forests. The discovery of the Soca valley, then a return journey by train along Lake Bohinj via the Sava valley to reach Bled, its lake and castle complete your pleasant acquaintance with this area.
