Juliana Stage Hiking

Juliana Stage Hiking (JSH), non-competitive, in stages along Juliana Trail and Alpe Adria Trail. For hikers who want to experience the chosen and the most beautiful paths of individual stages of JSR.

The route follows JULIANA TRAIL from Kranjska Gora to Bovec, where it turns to ALPE ADRIA TRAIL. The route will not be specially marked since the markings have already been taken care of; however, each participant will have a GPX track. Hiker chooses his own JSH stage. The organizer arranges transport to the start/finish of hikers path.
 
The participants are self-sufficient and environmentally conscious so that no trace will be left behind. The Booking Center Slovenia (of Juliana Trail and Alpe Adria Trail Slovenia) will provide accommodation for participants and accompanying teams in existing accommodation of the completed daily route.
 
An equipment transfer will be provided.
 
The event is in a boutique style, with 50 hikers per day. Priority will be given to participants who will attend every day or more days.

Competition rules:

  • each participant is aware of his own risk – by paying the entry fee and signing the application form, the participant confirms that he or she agrees to the terms of the tender,
  • application forms and picking up the starter pack will be possible the day before the event (15.00 – 20.00), exceptionally on the day of the event,
  • participants must be well physically fit,
  • the organizer is not responsible for the consequences that the hiker causes to himself, the teammate or a third person,
  • JSH stages will not be marked separately. The participant will be assisted by the existing, permanent JT and AAT signposts of the hiking trails and the trail he has loaded on his navigation device,
  • all hikers must adhere to the designated and “marked” paths. Any search and use of shortcuts or off-trail hiking IS NOT ALLOWED,
  • the organizer is not responsible for damage caused to the hiker’s equipment,
  • each hiker must have the required obligatory equipment (see “obligatory equipment”),
  • the event takes place in a natural environment where the hiker respects nature (leaking waste on the route is NOT ALLOWED), considers the weather conditions, the specifics of the route and takes care of its own safety,
  • because each hiker receives a trash bag (a piece of obligatory equipment) and because he cares about nature, he leaves a trash bag only at the finish area of JSR stage,
  • the hiker progresses independently without a support,
  • use of forbidden substances is NOT ALLOWED,
  • the event takes place in all weather conditions, unless the safety of hikers will be in danger (in such cases, the organizer aranges the transport to the finish area of JSR stage),
