Trail

The Karavanke Trail is a long-distance hiking path through the cross-border UNESCO Karavanke Geopark, which reveals different faces of the Karavanke landscape over 13 stages—from mountain vistas, forests, meadows, and valleys to traces of glaciers, rocks, iron, and the stories of people who have co-created life along the border for centuries. The path is designed as a journey through the natural, geological, and cultural heritage of the area, where views, history, local identity, and peaceful nature experiences intertwine.

Through Koroška

In the Koroška section, the trail connects Mežica, Volinjak, Leše, Uršlja Gora, Ravne na Koroškem, Dravograd, and Košenjak, among others. Along the way, hikers discover karst features, viewpoints, forest paths, cultural landmarks, the literary heritage of Prežihov Voranc, and the wider area of the Meža and Drava valleys. The Karavanke Trail is therefore suitable for hikers who wish to experience Koroška at a slower pace, more profoundly, and in direct contact with nature.
