To easy hikes over the hills and lowlands

on easy hikes over the hills and lowlands

Between the ridges of Slovenian mountains and hills there are green valleys and basins bordered by hills and vineyards. Well-maintained paths lead you through these valleys and basins to hospitable people and many natural and cultural attractions. Hikes and walks spice up the experiences of many places and especially natural spas.

Where to go for hiking experiences between the hills and lowlands

Around the capital

There are few cities that can be circled in a more beautiful way than Ljubljana, along the 35-kilometre Trail along the Wire (or Trail of Remembrance and Comradeship). Connected with the capital of Slovenia is the hiking-friendly Ljubljana Marshes – part of the pile dwelling heritage recognised by UNESCO.

Among thermal springs and vineyards

Following you on hikes from one special feature of Goričko, Haloze and Slovenske Gorice to another are vineyard-covered hills and the natural and cultural heritage of Pannonian Slovenia, which is famous for its thermal water springs and excellent wines.

over hills with castles and monasteries

In Dolenjska there are popular routes for Nordic walking connecting health resorts. Hikers are attracted by the routes from Novo mesto that connect the special features of the land of Cviček wine under Trška Gora (428 m), and the routes between castles and monasteries that lead to the picturesque border hills of Gorjanci.

To the warm river in the south

In Bela krajina there are several hiking trails along the Kolpa, the warmest river in Slovenia. You can discover the special features of shallow karst among various water sources in two landscape parks (Kolpa and Lahinja). Also inviting you to the land of many special ethnographic features are interesting thematic paths.

Close to the sea

On your leisurely strolls along the Adriatic Sea coast, you get to know the salt pans and other special features of the Mediterranean. From here, you can go hiking in the Brkini flysch valley and Šavrin Hills. Take a look at the sea and the hills below from scenic Slavnik (1,028 m), the highest peak in Slovenian Istria.
