Spend the next morning hiking through the lush Mostnice Gorge in Triglav National Park, followed by a mountain hut lunch and an afternoon butter-making workshop on a local farm. From there, travel to Kranjska Gora and hike to the panoramic Slemenova Špica viewpoint after crossing the majestic Vršič Pass.

Day five of our Slovenia CME Hiking and Wellness Adventure kicks off with a whitewater rafting adventure on the Soča River, followed by visits to Slovenia’s dramatic waterfalls and the option for ziplining.
