Across Pohorje
The hiking trail that crosses Pohorje is part of Slovenia’s oldest and most diverse long-distance mountain trail – the Slovenian Mountain Trail.
Explore the beauty of Pohorje
The hiking trail in the Koroška region leads across the vast Pohorje range to the solitary Koroška peak of Uršlja Gora and continues towards the Savinja Alps. As you hike across Pohorje, kilometres of unspoilt nature unfold before you, with Koroška’s finest natural and cultural attractions welcoming you along the way. You will walk through the mysterious Pohorje primeval forest. Along the route, you can refresh yourself by fairytale lakes with peat bogs and visit numerous small churches. You can hike the trail from Maribor to Slovenj Gradec (east to west) or in the opposite direction, i.e. from Slovenj Gradec to Maribor.
