Rušica Rigljica and Frdamane police mountain Slovenia

Rušica, Rigljica and Frdamane Police form one of the wilder and less visited mountain areas of the Martuljek group in the Julian Alps. These peaks rise above the valleys of Pišnica, Krnica and Gozd Martuljek, creating a rugged alpine skyline between Kranjska Gora, Špik and the wider Vršič area. Rušica, at 2,096 metres, and the slightly lower Rigljica, at 2,074 metres, mark the northwestern end of this dramatic mountain chain, while the two-headed Frdamane Police reaches 2,284 metres on its higher southeastern summit. Unlike the more famous peaks around Vršič Pass, these mountains remain quieter, rougher and more demanding, which gives them a special appeal for experienced mountaineers, alpine photographers and visitors who want to discover the hidden, serious side of the Julian Alps.

Travel guide

Rušica Rigljica and Frdamane police mountain Slovenia

The area of Rušica, Rigljica and Frdamane Police is known for steep limestone terrain, exposed ridges, broken rock and a powerful sense of alpine wilderness. These are not easy tourist summits and should not be treated as normal hiking destinations, as the routes can involve unmarked terrain, route finding, scrambling and sections suitable only for very experienced mountaineers. Their position near Špik, Krnica Valley and the Martuljek mountains makes them especially interesting from a landscape and photography perspective, offering views toward Kranjska Gora, Gozd Martuljek, Prisank, Mojstrovka, Špik and the surrounding high peaks of Triglav National Park. From Erjavčeva mountain hut on Vršič Pass, visitors can admire this wild mountain world as part of a wider alpine journey through Kranjska Gora, Lake Jasna, Krnica, the Martuljek group and Slovenia’s most dramatic Julian Alps scenery.
