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. This trip includes all transportation during your stay and pick-up & drop-off from the nearest station: Villach (Austria) / Gemona (Italy) can be arranged.

4/5

I had an absolutely amazing time on this trip. Windy was great, and so was everyone in the group. I would happily go on another trip with Windy and highly recommend her as a trip leader! The reason I have knocked off a star is because we ended up leaving several hours late on the first day due to a hiccup (which, maybe, could have been addressed/prevented the day before). This meant that we were not able to visit one of the sites and do one of the activities (swimming in natural thermal springs) that I had been really looking forward to.
