The Slovenian Mountain Hiking Trail
LOCATION
Slovenia
DESCRIPTION
The so-called Slovenian Mountain Hiking Trail begins in the City of Maribor and runs on the Pohorje Range and then, via the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Karavanke, the Julian Alps and pre-alpine hills, it descends onto the Karst Plateau and ends on the Debeli Rtič Cape on the Adriatic Sea. It is marked with the general symbols designating mountain hiking trails around Slovenia – the so-called Knafelc blaze (a red circle with a white dot in its centre) and the added number 1. The creation of the Slovenian Mountain Hiking Trail sparked the emergence of numerous other regional long-distance mountain hiking trails that can be found all across the country.
