You step out of the minivan and the air tastes like cut grass and stone; Velika Planina rises ahead, a wide alpine pasture etched with wooden herdsmen’s huts and paths worn into the hillside. The trail climbs steadily for an hour, opening into a plateau where the Kamnik–Savinja Alps fold away to reveal the Ljubljana basin and jagged ridgelines beyond.
