    Hike a scenic section of the Alpe-Adria Trail through Triglav National Park, following the emerald Soča River from Soča village to the mountain town of Bovec.

    Continue to Lake Bled, where you can admire its famous island, historic church, and cliffside castle. Finish the day at peaceful Lake Bohinj in the heart of Triglav National Park.

    On your final full day, hike through Mostnica Gorge and the beautiful Voje Valley. Follow forest trails past sculpted rock formations, stone bridges, alpine meadows, and the scenic Voje Waterfall before gathering with the group to celebrate an unforgettable week in Slovenia.
