Slovenian Mountain Hiking Trail

The idea of connecting the most beautiful, hilly, and mountainous area in Slovenia came from Ivan Šumljak in 1950.

Originally, the trail was meant to be a circular route, which would start and end in Maribor.

There are 58 huts and two museums — the Slovene Alpine Museum in Mojstrana, and Franja Partisan Hospital (from World War II) — and the cave system named Škocjan Caves.

The Slovenian Mountain Hiking Trail also has an extended route with 42 control points throughout Slovenia.

Hikers must obtain a book from the Alpine Association of Slovenia in which they will be able to collect stamps that are located on mountain tops or huts along the way.
