Are you ready to have an unforgettable hike? Join my hiking trip and let the adventure begin. On this trip, we will hike crossing borders in 3 different countries, so they take the meaning literally, cross-country hiking. Mainly we will discover the beautiful Friuli and Julian Alps in Slovenia, a region that is full of national parks and surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, rivers, and lakes. An ideal destination for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and be seduced by delicious flavors. Not only you will visit some mesmerizing mountains, lakes, and waterfalls, but we will also have a chance to taste the delicious local dishes 🍕🥩 I expect TripMates to be adventurous and have done long hiking before. Physical fitness is required to join this trip. Route & time might be changed/ adjusted according to circumstances.
