We did the Velika Planina tour with Slovenia Hiking Tour. Even though the weather was very changeable, the tour was perfect, one of my favorite tours I've ever done, unfortunately I forgot the name of the tour guide. It is more of an insider place, perfect for hiking even for beginners. The village is very idyllic & traditional. There are local products, cheese and salami. I bought some very tasty 😋 salamis. It's worth a trip, I was fascinated & would visit it again at any time.

It is one of the most beautiful and charming places I have ever seen in my life. To go up you have to take the cable car and chairlift, which is well worth it!!! You can also go on foot but I understand that it is a long walk of about 2/3 hours. This place will always remain in our hearts. Beauty, tranquility and nature in its purest form. 1000000000% recommended
