Infos

This guidebook offers 23 walking routes across the 120km Karavanke mountain range, a natural border between Austria and Slovenia. The one and two-day routes are graded for difficulty, and range from low-level walks to high summits. The approaches are mainly from the Slovenian valleys, with bases in unspoilt towns and villages.

Autor

Justi Carey and Roy Clark's passion for the outdoors has led to travels across the world. Since moving to Slovenia in 2002, Justi has taught English, while Roy has developed his skills in landscape photography. Their exploration of the Slovenian mountains has resulted in two previous Cicerone guides: The Julian Alps of Slovenia and Trekking in Slovenia.
