THE ROUTE ALONG THE RIVER SAVA TO THE KRANJSKA GORA
An idyllic path winds along the Sava River from Trata Resort to Kranjska Gora. In spring you will breathe in the awakening nature, in summer you will enjoy the coolness of the clear river, in autumn you will admire the explosion of yellow-red colors, in winter you will rest your eyes on the snow-covered banks. The trail is suitable for walkers and, at a slightly faster pace, offers just the right amount of recreation. The trail splits at the little bridge, so you can walk to Kranjska Gora on either the left or right bank of the Sava River. For the right bank of the Sava towards Kranjska Gora, we recommend suitable footwear, as the path is riddled with roots and stones. The path touches a golf course, from here on you can choose different routes.

MARTULJŠKI WATERFALLS
From the "Trata" you can walk to the Martuljški waterfalls, which are located under one of Slovenia's most attractive mountains, Špik. The trail will lead you past a clearing where you can see how charcoal was once cooked. One path leads through the Martuljška gorge, this path is sometimes closed and can be dangerous, as the cliffs above the gorge are very crumbly, we suggest you follow the sign for 'Brunarica Pri Ingotu' and start climbing up the wide but quite steep track. In half an hour you will reach the marked crossroad, the unique Lower Martuljška Waterfall. A little further on is the Finžgarjeva kapelica. Here you can finish the trip and return to the valley, or continue to the magnificent Upper Martuljška Waterfall, which falls over a mighty cliff. The last part of the trail is more challenging and has a short climbing section, so proper footwear is recommended. A wonderful trip in the embrace of the Martulj Mountains is complemented by the unique ambience and local food of the Pri Ingot pasture farm, located on the path between the two waterfalls.

PLANICA – THE VALLEY TRAIL
Near Rateč, it branches off from Dolina. It is bounded to the west by the Ponc ridge, and to the east by the Mojstrovka and Cipernik ridges. The upper part of Planica passes into the Tamar, otherwise known as Zelje, one of the most beautiful gorges in the Slovenian Alps, at the end of which Jalovec rises in its distinctive form. From beneath it, a glacier descended into Planica in the Pleistocene, transforming the upper and middle part of the valley. The moraine deposited by the glacier covers the central valley floor.
