Your Guides

---

The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Ivana B.

With guiding experience of more than a decade, Ivana has specialized in presenting her home country of Slovenia to visitors from all over the world. Besides being a professional guide, you might find her elbows deep in soil taking care of her plants or working in the garage on one of her vintage cars. As an English double major in linguistics and literature, her language skills are top notch, spiced with a bit of an Aussie twang which stuck with her since the time she spent down under. Her love for travel took Ivana to all corners of the world, from RV road tripping in the southern USA, trekking in Patagonia, camper vanning through New Zealand, 4x4 camping trip in South Africa or a motorcycle tour across the islands of Indonesia.

Roman K.

After finishing his studies in Chinese language and culture, Roman spent three years exploring Asia before returning to his homeland of Slovenia. To keep the adventure alive, he became an outdoor guide over 10 years ago and enjoys discovering the hidden corners of Slovenia and nearby Croatia. Roman loves to combine his extensive outdoor experience with his passion for gourmet extravaganzas of Balkan cuisine. He is well known for his personal touch and good sense of humor.

Anze P.

As a child, Anze joined the scouts where he found his passion for adventure and outdoors. If it's not wandering through the Georgian Caucasus or tasting delicacies on an Iranian local market, he is testing his limits and endurance on Slovenian ground. During the time he is not working as a tour guide, he is the head of a fantastic team of people, working in one of the most famous Slovenian mountain huts in the center of Triglav National Park.

Arrive at the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana. One of the hippest cities in Europe, this charming place is reminiscent of Prague — only without the crowds. The city is so small you can explore most of the sights on foot and enjoy strolls along the lovely Ljubljanica River. With lively bars, cafes and art galleries, the green city of Ljubljana is a great hideout from big and crowded European capitals. Meet your guide in the afternoon for a trip overview and welcome dinner.

Visit the Vrata Valley in the heart of Triglav National Park. Often thought of as the most beautiful alpine valley in Slovenia, this glacially carved wonder is home to the magnificent Pericnik Falls. Hike at the base of Slovenia\'s famed 3,280-foot climbing wall, the north face of Mt. Triglav—the highest peak in the Julian Alps. Keep an eye out for daring climbers at this mecca for the alpinist community as the sounds of Bistrica Creek accompany you on your trek. After today\'s hike make for Gozd Martuljek, a small village by the ski-resort town of Kranjska Gora.

Begin your day with a hike up Brda Mountain, nestled in the heart of the Julian Alps. The trail winds gently through lush alpine meadows and quiet patches of forest, gradually revealing sweeping views of the surrounding peaks, including the majestic silhouette of Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest mountain (9,396\'). At the top, a broad, grassy ridge is the perfect spot for a picnic lunch in the crisp clean air. Return to Bohinj for the evening.

Remote villages and meadows still tended by shepherds nestle below the distinctive peak of majestic Krn Mountain. Hike up to an alpine meadow below the peak to visit one of the most interesting cheese communities in Slovenia, and take in stunning views of the Soca Valley, with its river winding beneath the cliffs.

After breakfast, hike into the Soca Valley, following the Soca River through unspoiled parts of Triglav National Park. Known as \"The Emerald Beauty,\" it’s one of the few rivers in the world that retains its alpine color throughout its entire length. Famous for the WWI Battle of Isonzo, vividly described in Ernest Hemingway\'s novel \"A Farewell to Arms,\" Soca is now known as a playground for hikers, cyclists, and water enthusiasts. Relish an unforgettable farm to table lunch with a local family who grow organic vegetables and craft artisan goat and sheep cheese.
