Alpine & Coastal Slovenia
By S Reuvers · May 23, 2026 · 14 days · 13 places
FriJun 19
- Drive from Oostvoorne toward Munich
- Keep this as a purely functional transit day; prioritize an easy hotel check-in and an early night
- Aim to repack efficiently for Slovenia so the next morning is a clean departure
SatJun 20
- Drive Munich to the Soča Valley and set up at camp near Soča / Triglav National Park
- Keep the afternoon light: settle in, stretch the legs, and get your first river views at Soča River
- Early night so you're ready for a full alpine day tomorrow

Soča River
First easy river walk after arrival
SunJun 21
6:30 AM
Easy via ferrata / alpine day
Vršič Pass
Use a short, easy route and keep the day weather-flexible
- Keep this as your best-weather alpine day around Vršič Pass
- Best easy options to target: Via Ferrata Mojstrana / Aljaževa Pot (the most beginner-friendly pick) or Prestreljenik if you want a scenic Kanin-side option via cable car
- Skip the Hanzova Pot / Mala Mojstrovka plan; Hanzova is B/C but generally treated as a much more serious objective than the easy ferratas
- Since you have your own gear, just build in an early start and a weather check the evening before
- If conditions are poor, swap this with tomorrow's lower-commitment gorge day

8:00 AM
Tolmin Gorge
Go early to keep it quiet and cool
- Slow the pace after the via ferrata with a gorge-focused day at Tolmin Gorge

- Final night in the alpine basecamp before shifting to Bohinj tomorrow
TueJun 23
- Transfer from the Soča Valley to Ukanc and settle into the forest zone at Camp Bohinj
