Designed for beginners, families, and children, this flexible hike combines light outdoor activity with cultural discovery. By stepping into the world of Slovenia’s shepherds, travellers experience a slower rhythm of life shaped by the mountains, traditions, and harmony with the natural environment.

Truly a unique experience to walk around here, it’s more beautiful and vast than I imagine. Traditional wooden huts amidst the alpine mountains. Cows roaming around with clouds next to them (saw a herd next to Mount Gradisce) Cable car was not operational due to rope checks so we drove to the highest car park Mackin Kot. From there, it’s still a 45 minutes / 3km gradual walk uphill. Download EasyPark app prior for payment, signal is spotty up there and there are no payment machine. But you can pay in cash to the attendant if he is there (no booth).
Really beautiful. Absolutely worth it! We took the cable cart up (return trip for two people was 54€ free parking which was easy around 10:45am). There was a steep hike up 40mins. But the plateau is gorgeous and nice food options as well.
Absolutely amazing place to spend the day. Walking, beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and local houses, cheese tasting etc.
