Winter hiking tour to Debela Peč in Julian Alps
In winter, in addition to skiing, sledging and skating, there are many opportunities for outdoor experiences. A beautiful sunny day lured us on a winter tour of the Julian Alps. This time we went to the easternmost 2,000-meter peak in the Julian Alps. The tour goal is to reach the top of Debela Peč mountain.
The Debela Peč is a 2014 m high peak that stretches to the far east of the Julian Alps. It is considered one of the most easily accessible 2,000 peaks in winter. From the top, you can admire beautiful views of the nearby peaks. From the edge of the Debela Peča cliff, a breathtaking view of the Krma glacial valley opens up.
Slow-growing spruces of the Pokljuka forests have such resonant wood that they make the best violins from it.
We started a winter hiking tour from Medvedova Konta in the Pokljuka forests at 1410 m (Coordinates: 46.3748 ° N 13.9409 ° E). After a moderately wide cart track, the path led us through the vast forest of Pokljuka. We soon arrived in the grazing area of the Lipanca mountain. Along the way, we admired the mighty spruces rising high into the sky.
