Slovenian Mountain Trail

The Slovenian Mountain Trail across Koroška connects Pohorje, valleys, ridges, mountain huts, and Raduha.

Description

The Slovenian Mountain Trail is the oldest and most popular long-distance hiking trail in Slovenia, starting in Maribor and ending at Debeli rtič. It spans over 616 kilometers, crossing Pohorje, Smrekovec, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Karawanks, the Julian Alps, and pre-Alpine hills, and is marked with Knafelc blazes and the number 1.

Across Koroška

The Slovenian Mountain Trail in Koroška connects diverse parts of the region—from the Pohorje forests and highlands, through the Mislinja Valley and Slovenj Gradec, to Uršlja Gora, the Smrekovec ridge, and onward toward Raduha and Solčava. This is an exceptionally scenic section of Slovenia's longest long-distance hiking trail, where the gentle Pohorje landscape intertwines with panoramic mountain ridges, mountain huts, secluded paths, and passages toward the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
