About Mount Krim

Krim (1,107 m), nicknamed the southern guard of the Ljubljana Marshes, offers one of the most beautiful views in Slovenia, across the Marshes and the city to the Alps. Six well-marked trails lead to the top, from Lake Podpeč, the Iška gorge or Rakitna among others, each taking about two to two and a half hours. Our advice: start early on a clear autumn day.
