Why Pokljuka?

The Pokljuka peninsula is an exclusive alpine paradise during all four seasons in the heart of Slovenia’s most prized national park, Triglav National Park. It is in Pokljuka where our guests can ascend the pride of Slovenia’s (and the former Yugoslavia’s) highest peaks, Triglav Planina, or the Three-Headed Mountain, along with smaller, surrounding peaks.
