During the First World War, the territory of Bohinj and the settlement of Ukanc, the starting point of this stage, were at the center of intense traffic of equipment and supplies directed to the front lines located along the surrounding mountains. This was made possible primarily thanks to paths and cableways built on site by Russian prisoners of war deported to the area and exploited specifically for this purpose. The route of this itinerary allows engagement with this particular environment, perhaps less known compared to the front lines, while immersing in the natural beauties that complement it.
Author’s recommendation
From the imposing Vogel, which is served by a cable car, opens a magnificent view, a paradise for hikers and skiers.
In Ribčev Laz, recommended is the visit to the Church of St. John the Baptist and the monument to the first climbers of Triglav.
In Ukanc, the tomb of Russian prisoners of war is of interest.
