Discover Lake Bled, Rovinj and Istria: An Unforgettable Experience Walking Tour Through Slovenia and Croatia
While many hiking tours of Istria focus on either the sea or the mountains, this splendid adventure brings you both! Revel in dramatic Alpine scenery in Slovenia as you explore Triglav National Park and hike to an authentic mountain hut perched in the stunning Julian Alps.

While many hiking tours of Istria focus on either the sea or the mountains, this splendid adventure brings you both! Revel in dramatic Alpine scenery in Slovenia as you explore Triglav National Park and hike to an authentic mountain hut perched in the stunning Julian Alps. Soak up dramatic views while exploring Vintgar Gorge and take a pletna boat ride on iconic Lake Bled. Your local trip leaders will introduce you to many Country Walkers friends—including a Croatian truffle hunter who brings you on an exciting jaunt through the Mirna valley to seek out this aromatic delicacy with a truffle-hunting dog. Heading south to the coast, you’ll enjoy three nights in a delightful five-star hotel in Rovinj with sea views, a private pebble beach, and a fascinating gin library. Here, you’ll enjoy sunlit walks through charming seaside villages, explore ancient Roman ruins, browse elegant boutiques, and savor fresh seafood and exquisite local vintages.
Tour Highlights
- Glide across beautiful Lake Bled on a traditional pletna boat to a 10th-century church, rumored to contain a steeple bell that grants wishes.
- Hike through lush valleys and past magnificent waterfalls in Triglav National Park, with the snow-capped peaks of the Julian Alps as a backdrop.
- Join the hunt for truffles with a professional truffle hunter and her canine assistant in the Mirna River valley.
- Sample exceptional Slovenian and Croatian wines, perfectly paired with delicious farm- and sea-to-table cuisine.
- Visit Brijuni Island, where you’ll stroll Roman ruins and tour former president Tito’s museum, which contains a fascinating collection of photos of Tito with world leaders and celebrities.
Our Country Walkers trip to Slovenia and Croatia was the trip of a lifetime. Our walks ranged from beautiful mountain trails to a spectacular gorge, to Byzantine ruins on an island in the Adriatic. We experienced wine tasting and truffle hunting, and dinner at a historic summer home on Lake Bled. But what really made the trip unique was the knowledge, caring and skills of our two guides Daniel and Vida. They shared their passion for their country, knowledge of the natural world and the history of the region, while at all times looking out for us.
