Martuljek Široka peč mountain Slovenia
Martuljek Široka peč mountain Slovenia

The Martuljek mountain group is one of the wildest and most dramatic parts of the Julian Alps, rising above Gozd Martuljek, Kranjska Gora and the valleys of the Upper Sava region. This powerful alpine skyline includes some of Slovenia’s most impressive peaks, such as Široka peč, Veliki Oltar, Velika Ponca, Mala Ponca, Špik and Frdamane Police. Unlike the more accessible hiking areas around Vršič Pass, the Martuljek mountains feel more remote, rugged and serious, with steep limestone walls, narrow ridges, wild cirques and a strong sense of untouched alpine nature. For photographers, mountaineers and visitors exploring the Julian Alps, this group is one of the most spectacular mountain panoramas in Slovenia.

Travel guide

Martujek mountains Slovenia

The Martuljek group is closely connected with classic Slovenian alpinism and the wilder side of mountain exploration. Peaks such as Veliki Oltar, Velika Ponca and Frdamane Police are not ordinary tourist summits; they are demanding alpine objectives, often involving unmarked terrain, exposed rock, route finding and serious mountain experience. At the same time, the beauty of the Martuljek mountains can also be admired from safer viewpoints around Gozd Martuljek, Lake Jasna, Kranjska Gora, Krnica Valley and the road toward Vršič Pass. From Erjavčeva mountain hut, visitors can include the Martuljek mountain group in a wider alpine journey through Kranjska Gora, Vršič Pass, Triglav National Park and the most impressive landscapes of northwestern Slovenia.
