In the project VrH Julijcev, the Triglav National Park Public Institution in 2023 established, among other things, an outdoor information point at Mrzli studenec and a short section of the existing Pokljuka Trail in the form of a return loop.

The redesigned park trail will thus lead from Mrzli studenec through spruce forests to the edge of Grajska planina and Bled Moor, which interrupt the dense forest area of the Pokljuka plateau. We will continue westwards along the edge of the high moorland, which is not accessible due to its vulnerability. Visitors are warned of the latter by information and marking boards along the route, and access to the sensitive bog area is also prevented by a wooden fence. The Pokljuka Trail will continue to lead us to the national road, which we will not cross, but we will follow a newly laid out section of the trail through the forest back to Mrzli studenec.

Along the way, we will learn about the characteristics and all-round importance of the forests of Pokljuka, get to know the mysterious kingdom of fungi, and return to our starting point at Mrzli studenec, passing the remains of the Saxon line from the First World War.

Welcome!

From a biological and ecological point of view, they are very interesting and unique. They are constantly growing and support plants that are found nowhere else. The most important are the various species of peat mosses, but we can also observe the small carnivorous sundew, rosemary, knife-edged muhly, hairy moss, bog coppice and others. The Pokljuka Marshes are the most southerly marshes still preserved in Europe. A visit to the recently renovated Goreljek peat bog trail will shed light on many interesting facts you may not have known before. The trail is circular, approximately one kilometre long and has five learning points with information boards.

Information:

– Duration: 3 hours
– Difficulty: easy
– Location: Goreljek
– Price: free
– Equipment: hiking shoes and clothing, rucksack, sun protection and benches, snacks and refreshments

! Registration is required at least one day before the guided hike at info@bohinj.si

Juliana Alpine Botanical Garden is a non-residential unit of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History, where you can observe a living collection of plants characteristic of Slovenia, particularly its alpine and karst world. In 1977, the International Museum Council ICOM designated May 18 as International Museum Day. Furthermore, the European Plant Science Organization (EPSO) marked May 18 as Fascination of Plants Day. You can observe fascinating plants in Juliana, too!

On this day, admission to the garden is free of charge. Also some events will take place in the garden: birdwatching and guided tours. Check them out!

Along the fairy trail in Ukanc, you will find characters from local fairy tales. There are seven in Ukanc on the 2 km circular route, one in the car park at the Ukanc/Vogel/Slap Savica junction and another at the entrance to the Savica waterfall.

This is an unique event. It is something special. It takes place on a two-kilometre-long trail that leads you along the river, through the forest, across meadows and past Lake Bohinj. It’s quiet here all year round, with only the seven heroes of the Bohinj fairy tales waiting for you with their wooden playgrounds. But the “fairytale” weekend is lively, with around 30 stops along the way – around 30 opportunities for children to move, play, learn, create or just develop their senses.

When entering the fairytale trail, children are given a booklet of fairytale creatures and 9 stickers to stick and colour in the booklet.

An adult can walk the route in half an hour, but it is certainly not possible to experience everything in one day with children, even though the event starts at 9:30 and finishes at 14:00 every day. Come – learn new skills and take home good memories.

TICKETS

– 2,00 € per person
– children under 2 years: free
– GRATIS! All children up to 14. years receive a booklet and stickers of fairy tale characters
