Hiking

1 – The Path from the Lijak stream to the panoramic view from Sekulak

The whole track is designed to start the hike in any of the villages: Šmihel, Ozeljan, Šempas, Vitovlje or Osek; and deciding after that, with regard to the preparedness, interests and the available time, the direction to take. Hiking up and down the slope demands a higher physical ability, hiking in the valley on the other hand, comes close to a stroll. The links in-between enable the rounding up of the single sections. Information panels with a map of the territory indicate the starting points of the single routes, single small columns fitted out with a text, a signpost and the distances in time to the neighbouring stations however, the thematic stations.

The road from the Lijak stream to the panoramic view from Sekulak discloses beauties of the natural and cultural heritage, it reveals historical memories and mysteries, and offers spirituality as well. It demands a lot of energy giving it however, equally back. On the way one comes across numerous attractions and also peaceful and hidden corners. Imaginative and diverse, these are the words to describe the route. Designed for different tastes, interests and physical abilities and provided with the variety of lined up natural wonders. Anchored in the Here and Now, in the every-day life of the locals, it leads us past other times gratifying the curiosity of the hikers - enthusists of the geology, ethnology, architecture and spirituality, and that of the connoisseurs of the flora and fauna.

2 – Hiking trails on Sabotin

Sabotin, which was separated from Sveta Gora by the Soča river and now stands alone and proud, offers the hiker much more than one might think when viewing the mountain from the valley below.
Sabotin is not just a mountain. It is a reminder and a caution. It calms and integrates. Sabotin is a Peace Park. Discover its turbulent history, its diverse vegetation, with Dinaric, Mediterranean, and Alpine flora, its legged and winged fauna. There are six paths leading up Sabotin. When you come to know the mountain from one direction, you will only know a small part of it. And so you will return to get to know it better, and find solace in its embrace again and again.
