Trail Yuliyskikh Alp — Prisojnik Po Kopiščarjevi Poti: A Mountain Walk with Character

Route at a glance

The lower section offers a gradual start before woodland gives way to more open terrain. The combination of wooded lower slopes, mountain meadows and rocky ground gives the journey its variety. The route passes Kopiščarjevi and Prisojnik Po Kopiščarjevi Poti. Together they turn the walk into a coherent introduction to the area rather than a simple transfer.

Getting there

Without a car

Travel from Ljubljana by train or bus to Jesenice, Lesce-Bled, Bohinj or Kranjska Gora, depending on the starting valley. Continue by local bus or transfer towards the trailhead. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

By car

Use the A2 and then the roads to Bled, Bohinj, Mojstrana or Kranjska Gora. Seasonal restrictions can affect the Vršič Pass and alpine valleys. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.

Parking

Park only in official areas at valley entrances, lakes, cable cars and visitor facilities. Many national-park car parks are paid and fill quickly.
