Tour Itinerary
We leave Sofia early in the morning. The drive to Mojstrana is about 1,000 km through Serbia and Croatia and takes 13–15 hours, with breaks every 3 hours and two border crossings. We reach Kamne campsite at the foot of the Julian Alps in the evening and settle in.
Камне е малък семеен къмпинг между селата Довйе и Мойстрана, в долината на река Сава Долинка, с гледка към Юлийските Алпи. До долината Врата и началото на маршрута към Триглав има около 12 км, а от къмпинга тръгва и автобусът до Аляжев дом. Санитарният блок е модерен и отопляем, душовете са с жетон, който се купува на място. Магазин и ресторант има в Довйе, на около 500 м.
After an easy breakfast we drive to Bled. We walk along the lake and climb to Bled Castle for the view over the lake, its island and the island church. Optional: a ride in a traditional pletna boat to the island and a taste of Bled's famous cream cake, the kremšnita.
In the afternoon we follow the wooden walkways above the Radovna river through the Vintgar gorge to the Šum waterfall. Back at the campsite in the evening we check kit, go through the briefing and pack for the two mountain days.
An early transfer takes us to Aljažev dom (1,015 m) in the Vrata valley, beneath Triglav's north face. We pass the partisan memorial with its giant carabiner and set off up Tominškova pot. The path first climbs steeply through the forest, then makes a long traverse across the north faces, with steel cables and pegs on the steeper sections. At about 2,100 m it joins Pot čez Prag, and we continue through the rocky Kotel bowl to Kredarica hut (2,515 m).
The afternoon is for resting, views of Triglav and sunset over the Julian Alps. We have dinner at the hut and turn in early.
Кредарица е най-високата и най-голямата хижа в Словения. Стои на платото под източния склон на Триглав, на около 1:30 часа от върха. Първата хижа тук е построена през 1896 г. по инициатива на свещеника и планинар Якоб Аляж. До хижата има малък параклис и метеорологична станция, която работи от 1954 г. Хижата разполага с около 300 места в стаи и общи помещения. В разгара на сезона е оживена и пълна, затова резервацията правим ние предварително. Вечеря, закуска и напитки се купуват на място. Водата в хижата е ограничена, а плащането в брой е най-сигурно. Носете чаршаф (лайнер), тапи за уши и челник.
We set off at first light to be on the ridge before the groups from the valley. We climb over Mali Triglav (2,725 m) and follow the airy, cable-protected ridge to the top of Triglav (2,864 m) and the Aljaž tower, the summit's landmark. The view takes in the Julian Alps in every direction.
Back at Kredarica we collect our bags and descend by Pot čez Prag. Its key passage is the "prag" – the threshold – a rock step of about 15 m with steel pegs and a cable. Below it the path drops gradually into the forest and brings us back to the Vrata valley at Aljažev dom. Transfer to Mojstrana.
After two mountain days, the plan depends on how the group feels. The options are:
Option 1: A rest day at the campsite, a walk to the Peričnik waterfall and a visit to the Slovenian Alpine Museum in Mojstrana.
Option 2: Lake Bohinj and the Vogel cable car, with a walk up to the panoramic summit of Vogel (1,922 m).
Option 3: An easy walk to the Zelenci springs and the Planica valley near Kranjska Gora.
We set off early in the morning and, with breaks along the way, reach Sofia late in the evening.
