Drive In and Ascent to Hut
6 stops
An early start from Bohinjsko Jezero sets the tone — forest roads give way to open alpine terrain as you begin the long ascent through valley after valley toward the huts below Triglav's rocky crown. Pace yourself; the real challenge comes tomorrow.
Parking
Zgornje Gorje
The trailhead on Regionalna Cesta 906 is where the adventure begins. Park up, shoulder your pack, and leave the car behind for the next two days.
Planika Hut is your base for the night. Drop the heavy gear, kit up with helmets and climbing belts for the via ferrata sections ahead, then return here to rest before the pre-dawn summit push.
Standing on the Slovenska Planinska pot with the Julian Alps sprawling in every direction — this is the payoff for every steep metre climbed.

Summit Day — Triglav
1 stop
Rise before dawn, clip into the via ferrata and make the final scramble to Aljaž Tower at Triglav's summit. Sunrise over the Julian Alps from Slovenia's rooftop is a moment you won't forget. The descent back to the car brings the two-day adventure full circle.

Returning to Regionalna Cesta 906 marks the end of a two-day ascent of Slovenia's highest mountain. Boots off, legs tired, spirits high.
