Best Long-Distance Hikes in Slovenia

We track 38 routes that match this search in Slovenia. They average 124 km and 2,624 m (8,609 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 634 km.

That is 5 percent of the 818 routes we map in Slovenia. They run noticeably longer than average for the area, 124 km against 12.2 km, so budget more daylight than a typical outing here. The climbing is steeper too: 2,624 m (8,609 ft) on average versus 272 m (892 ft) across the wider area.

Multi-day paths, normally walked in stages, with the accommodation and waymarking to support them. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
