This hike, starting from the Pale Sports Park past the source of the Hubelj River above Ajdovščina, and to the natural beauty of the Otlica Natural Window (Otliško okno), will take you on a tour of some of the best views of the Vipava Valley, the Karst Plateau, and the Adriatic Sea. The well-marked trail, which winds its way along some very navigable terrain, is a great choice for a family trip.

The Monument to the defenders of Slovenian Cerje.
At the far edge of the Karst plateau, The monument of peace and a viewing tower Cerje is rising to the sky as a stone giant, with a glimpse of the four sides of the sky. From here, the Adriatic Sea, the Friuli Valley, the Julian Alps and the Vipava valley are more beautiful than anywhere else in Slovenia. At the height of 21 meters at the top of the memorial, we feel the freedom of birds and experience the beauty of our places in all colors of nature.

Gradiška tura (via ferrata) – Abram:
Gradiška Tura rises to a height of 793 meters above sea level. Leading up to it is the most demanding but also the most exciting hike in the Vipava Valley. Due to its position facing the sun hikers can reach the summit all year round, and the hike has a massive payoff in the spectacular views of the Vipava Valley you will get at the top. Abram’s farm will serve you up some of the best local delicacies, including the supremely popular goulash made with wild game from the forests around Otlica.
