Via ferrata Silva-Korena in Slovenia

Via ferrata routes are quite popular in Slovenia. On this trip, I propose to take you to via ferrata Silva-Korena in Mt Krn.

Mount Krn (2244 m) is a peak of the Julian Alps, in the northwest of the country.

The starting point of this trip will be the little and scenic town of Kobarid. Here, we can visit the First World War museum and learn about the historic heritage of this region.

From there, we'll continue towards Drežnica village, that lies on a small plateau at the foot of Mt Krn. At this point, we'll start scrambling. We'll climb on a route with very nice views and continue over protected sections towards the top. This is a hard via ferrata route, that goes over many vertical sections of the ridge.

At the end of the route, there's a mountain hut, only 10 minutes away from the summit of Mt Krn.

After this, we can continue our descent over the little valley of Luznica, visit the lake of Lovers, and descent back to Drežnica. Besides, we can also visit other smaller peaks in the region or visit the Pyramid monument at one of the remote white gravel saddles to the memory of the WWI soldiers of Austrian monarchy.

You'll enjoy some stunning views towards Kobarid and Soča valley during the ascent. From the summit you'll see the large Krn lake, Lepena Valley, Trenta and Mt Triglav.

We'll take between 8-12 hours to complete this climbing trip.
