We have roughly 7 weekends between now and October 1st to fill with seeing friends, discovering new places, hiking, swimming, skiing, eating and exploring. The hardest part of planning trips is figuring out where to go, so, luckily for you - we’ve done the leg work and pulled together our top five off the beaten track destinations to suit any getaway brief. Whether it’s surfing with friends, having a bit of a cultural deep dive or just finding a pretty mad place to get your hike on, we’ve got it all covered below.
The Right of Passage, Slovenia
The best kind of weekends are the ones with a purpose, and hiking Slovenia’s right of passage trail gives you exactly that. Mount Triglav is Slovenia’s highest mountain and is the national symbol found on their flag. There are multiple routes that lead to its summit, each of varying difficulty, the most famed taking you via the Seven Lakes Valley. The most popular route, the Southern Mount Triglav Horseshoe trail, would take a fit, reasonably experienced hiker two days to complete, with one night staying on the mountain. As always, do your research before you go as some paths have various kit recommendations (like hard harts) you wouldn’t want to miss out on.
On our kit list:
Db Pack Bags (great for snacks), see examples below.
Disco Boots - to party at the summit
