Cicerone Press (Verlag)
978-1-78631-020-0 (ISBN)
First English-language guidebook to walking the Slovene Mountain Trail (Slovenska planinska pot or Transverzala) between Maribor near the Austrian border and Ankaran on the Adriatic Coast. Covering 550km (342 miles), this long-distance trek crosses Slovenia's Julian Alps and Karavanke and takes 49 days in total to complete.
The route is described as 12 stages of 3 to 6 day treks of all levels of difficulty, which can be completed as single sections or linked together to create the 49-day trip. Each day is graded from 1–3, Grade 1 days are mostly track-based routes without steep ascents, while Grade 3 days involve technical terrain featuring fixed protection or sections of via ferrata, necessitating adequate experience and equipment.
Illustrated with sketch maps, profiles and photographs

Detailed information on facilities and mountain huts for each trek stage
Public transport options listed for the start and finish of each stage
Includes the Julian Alps, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Pohorje plateau and the Karavanke
Justi Carey and Roy Clark started visiting the British mountains in their teens, a discovery which has shaped their whole lives. Their passion for the outdoors has since led to travels across the world and a deep commitment to the environment. Since moving to Slovenia in 2002, Justi has worked as an English teacher, while Roy has developed his photography skills. They now run a B&B in the mountainous north-west of Slovenia.
