Year-round location / automatic stationPlanica, a long characteristic glacial valley in the northern part of the Slovenian Julian Alps, branches off from Dolina near Rateč. It is bounded to the west by the Ponec ridge, and to the east by the Mojstrovka and Cipernik ridges.
The upper part of Planica passes into the Tamar, one of the most beautiful gorges in the Julian Alps, at the end of which mount Jalovec rises in its distinctive shape.
From the car park in Planica, head south towards Tamar. Continue along the dirt road, which will quickly lead you to a junction of two paths. Continue along the right-hand path (in winter there is a cross-country ski track), which climbs gently. The path passes mostly through the forest and partly across the hillsides. The trail ends at the mountain lodge in Tamar.
Information boards along the way show the features of the area.
