The Hay-carriers' Trail

The trail leads from the village of Strmec to the Gorenjega stan' or Mangrt saddle. THE TRAIL IS CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE FORREST FIRE!

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The Hay-carriers' Trail is currently closed due to damage caused by the forest fire.

Farmers did not look at the view when they carried hay from Mangrt to the valley. But the views here are exceptional, especially of the Loška Steno, Mangrt, Jalovec and, from the Mangrt saddle, the Belopeška Lakes.

You can reach starting point by using seasonal public transport.

The scenic route will take you gradually from the forest above the village of Strmec to the high mountain world of the Mangart saddle, where you will be breathless at the views of Mount Mangart (2,679 m), the longest mountain wall in the Julian Mountains, the Loška Stena, the emerald of the Julian Mountains, Jalovec, and the Belopeška Lakes, deep below on Italian territory. There are, of course, many more pearls to marvel at along the way, and they outweigh all the effort of walking this relatively long route.

Before heading to Triglav National Park, check the current conditions in the park area.

Your safety is your responsibility

In the natural environment, you may encounter falling rocks and trees, slippery and uneven terrain, sudden changes in weather, high water levels and wild animals. The park authority maintains trails within the scope of its responsibilities and available resources but cannot guarantee your safety. Visitors are responsible for adapting their plans to the weather and trail conditions, choosing trails suited to their abilities, using appropriate equipment, staying on marked trails and acting responsibly.
