Across mountain tops to the sea
In Slovenia, lovers of long walks are able to find trails with interesting themes and diverse characteristics, connecting mountain peaks and valleys with coastal areas. The Alpe Adria Trail connects Mt. Grossglockner with the sea through valleys. The Walk of Peace follows the battlefields of World War I, and the European Long-Distance Path E7 crosses the Soča Valley, from the River Nadiža to the Baška Grapa Valley.
