After arrival, enjoy some free time visiting the spa and having lunch.
14:00 Depart for Peričnik Waterfall for a short and scenic walk. Peričnik Waterfall is one of Slovenia's tallest (52m) waterfalls and cascades from a hanging glacial Vrata Valley. A unique feature—you can walk behind the waterfall for an incredible perspective!

Experience the stunning Martuljek Waterfalls, nestled beneath the majestic Špik summit in the Slovenian Alps. Today’s hike will take us through lush meadows to the Lower Martuljek Waterfall, where water plunges 50 meters into a 400-meter-long limestone gorge. We will continue to the Upper Waterfall, cascading 110 meters down a dramatic cliff.
Whether you seek an energetic adventure or a moderate forest walk, there's a perfect hike for everyone!

Discover the beauty of Gozd Martuljek, where unspoiled Alpine nature meets rich heritage. This modern settlement is framed by the stunning Martuljek mountain chain, with the iconic Špik summit at its heart. We will head to Srednji Vrh, a charming hamlet for the best views.
Our more energetic hike will head up towards Karavanke Ridge, reaching Srednji Vrh (1,000 m) passing farms and meadows, while soaking in panoramic views of the Martuljek mountain chain and Špik summit. Before returning along the Sava River, there will be time to explore Kranjska Gora, enjoy lunch, and visit the picturesque Jasna Lake.
If you wish to relax, skip the ascent and enjoy a relaxing walk along the Sava River, where you can explore Kranjska Gora at your own pace.

Day Four - Vršič Pass to Prisank window & Slemenova Špica Summit.
Before breakfast, the Event WhatsApp Group will share complete details of the expected weather and the day's options.
08:00 Buffet breakfast
Vršič Mountain Pass is the highest road pass (1,611 m) in the Eastern Julian Alps. Today's journey will take us by the Prisank (Prisojnik) Window (2,314 m), a heart-shaped natural hole in the mountain wall.
From the pass, we ascend past Tičar Mountain Hut on a wide dirt road to a marked viewpoint of the 'Pagan Girl', a striking rock formation resembling a woman’s face, naturally sculpted in Prisank’s north wall.
Today's hiking goal is the Prisank Window, towering 80 meters tall and 40 meters wide. The final section is rocky and challenging, but the views are rewarding!
Alternatively, we will offer the classic trail from Vršič Pass, which leads to Slemenova Špica, a stunning grassy peak. Despite the moderate effort, you'll be surrounded by towering mountain walls and enjoy some of the most photographed views in Slovenia just before reaching the summit.
