Bohinj – Juliana Trail, a 270-kilometre hiking trail circuiting Slovenia’s highest peak, Mount Triglav, has been declared Best Europe Tourism Project by the British Guild of Travel Writers (BGTW).
The trail is run by the Julian Alps Community, whose coordinator Klemen Langus said he was glad the project won the recognition also for its sustainable orientation and clear philosophy.
The trail was launched in 2018 to to reduce the strain of visitors on Triglav. The 16-stage trail mostly runs through villages and visitors are encouraged to use public transport to access it.
Quoted in a press release from Tourism Bohinj, Langus said the award was also a responsibility “to truly honour the commitment we made when we started the trail and the criteria it follows”.
