Spectacular views of Triglav
Triglav might be too challenging a destination for some, but that shouldn’t stop you from admiring its majestic presence. While you can catch a glimpse of it from various parts of Slovenia, here are some of the best spots to encounter Triglav up close and enjoy breathtaking views.

Juliana Trail – a long-distance trail around the Julian Alps
The Juliana Trail is a circular long-distance trail that takes you across picturesque plateaus, through beautiful valleys, charming villages and spots in the Julian Alps. Stretching over 270 kilometres, it offers an exciting opportunity to explore the natural and cultural heritage at the doorway to the Julian Alps, leading you beneath the high peaks and inviting you to explore them. The basic circular route can be completed in 16 days, but you can extend your trip by visiting the Breginjski Kot and Goriška Brda regions, adding an additional 100 kilometres to your adventure.

View from the Karavanke
In clear weather, the Karavanke mountain range offers stunning views of Triglav and the Julian Alps. Most of the peaks in the Karavanke are less demanding than those in the Julian Alps, but proper preparation and equipment are still essential. A 143-kilometre long-distance trail runs along the Karavanke mountain range, which also marks the natural border between Slovenia and Austria. Some of the most spectacular view of Triglav can be enjoyed along the sections of Begunje and Kranjska Gora.

View of Triglav from the mid-mountains
Just as the view from Triglav stretches far across the landscape – all the way to the sea and the Pannonian plains – the mountain itself can also be seen from many parts of Slovenia on a clear day. Hikers who prefer less demanding peaks can enjoy great views of Triglav from the hills of Škofja Loka, Idrija and Cerkno. Beautiful views of Triglav also open up from some of the Polhov Gradec peaks, and in clear weather, from the Karst Edge, Snežnik Plateau and the Posavje Hills.

Less demanding peaks around Triglav
If you want to enjoy the charm of the Julian Alps and take in views of Triglav but prefer an easier hike, here are a few great alternatives. Even though these routes are less demanding, it is important to be properly equipped – wear proper hiking boots, bring appropriate gear and consider wearing a helmet. Keep in mind that some sections may be exposed (altitude), even if they are not technically difficult.
Viševnik (2050 m)
One of the easiest two-thousanders in the Julian Alps. Viševnik offers a stunning, direct view of Triglav and its surrounding foothills. The trail begins at Rudno Polje on Pokljuka, from where a well-marked, easy hike of 1.5 to 2 hours leads you to the summit.
Tosc (2275 m)
After a slightly longer and quieter hike, Tosc rewards you with a spectacular view of Triglav from the south. The trail is less frequented, providing a peaceful experience. You can start from either Pokljuka or Uskovnica, with a moderate and well-marked trail that takes 4 to 5 hours to reach the summit.
Vogel (1922 m)
A gondola takes you to this popular mountain resort, where a stunning panorama of the Triglav mountain range unfolds before you. From there, you can choose from several hiking trails of varying lengths and difficulty levels that lead you to the summit of Vogel. Among the easier options are the routes from the Zadnji Vogel and Kuk Mountain Pastures, which take about 2.5 hours.
