People are often asking us the impossible question: What is the best mountain to climb? What is the most breathtaking waterfall to visit? What is the most scenic place to take a photo? Well, there is no such mountain, or waterfall or place in general. We can only rank measurable things, like the highest mountain, the longest trail, the biggest river. But beauty or experience, specially outdoor in nature, is something not measurable. However, we tried our best. This article is our attempt to list some of the best hikes in Slovenian mountains. For sure there are others that could also be listed here. But at least with these presented, you can’t got wrong by most standards.   Triglav Lakes Valley, Julian Alps Triglav Lakes Valley is one of the most romantic places in mountains of Julian Alps. It is a valley above famous lake Bohinj, climbing towards Mt Triglav and Mt Kanjavec. The valley is also known as Seven Lakes Valley. Funny, because actually all together there are ten and not seven lakes there. Anyhow, all the lakes in the valley are connected together with common underground water flow. Ultimately, water from the lakes comes out as spectacular waterfall ‘Slap Savica’ at the end of Bohinj valley, which feeds the Bohinj lake itself. Best way to experience the entire magnitude of the valley is to take a 3 days for the hike. Starting from Bohinj you should be able to reach the lowest hut (Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) in one full day.  From there you can climb upwards the valley till the end of it easily the next day. Taking the third day in your itinerary will allow you not to be in a rush and have some time to just inhale the nature there and explore it better.
