About the trail
Trail description
Begunjščica, topping out at Veliki vrh (2,060 m), is the grassy queen of the Karavanke above Begunje — and in May, when its slopes turn white with wild daffodil fields, the busiest mountain for miles. The summit looks both ways across the border: the Julian Alps and Triglav to the south, the Austrian Alps to the north.
The most popular approach starts at the Ljubelj pass (1,058 m) via Preval: 2.5–3 hours up, technically easy but a solid 1,000 m of climbing. The other classic rises from the Draga valley near Begunje via the Roblek hut (3–3.5 h) — perfect as a loop. The ridge is exposed to sun and wind; start early in summer and carry plenty of water.
Safety information
- Technically easy, physically demanding (~1,000 m ascent).
- Exposed ridge — avoid in storms.
- Avalanche terrain in winter.

Trailhead parking
