  • Triple BridgeThe centre is car-free and the river runs through the middle of it, which is most of why Ljubljana works.
  • Bled islandThe pletna boats are rowed standing, by hand, by families who have held the licences for generations.
  • Bled castleThere is no engine on the lake.
  • Lake BohinjThe Vrsic road has fifty numbered hairpins and was built by Russian prisoners of war in 1915; the chapel partway up commemorates the…
  • Soca riverThe Soca is genuinely that colour — it is glacial flour in solution, and it is about 10 °C in June.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy.

Did this over 6 days and it was the best walking I've done in years. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Solid operator.

Well organised from the pickup onwards. The daily distances were honest about what they'd be. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Worth every rupee.

Pace was set for the fastest people in the group and it made the middle days hard.

Reply from Cypress & Stone

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
