Martuljške gore
The Martuljek group is a jagged chain of limestone peaks in the Julian Alps, in the far north-west of Slovenia. It rises directly south of the village of Gozd Martuljek, a few kilometres east of Kranjska Gora, and lies inside Triglav National Park.
Most visitors never climb the peaks. They come for the view from the valley, where the ridge stands as a wall above the meadows, and for a short walk to the Martuljek waterfalls. The high routes are for experienced mountaineers, and there are no marked tourist trails to most summits. Half a day is enough for the valley walk, and a longer stay suits climbers based in Kranjska Gora.

Beste reisetidspunkt
Late spring to early autumn is the best time. June to September is the warmest and the driest part of the year, and the waterfall walk is easiest then. High routes are usually free of snow only from about July to September, so plan mountain days for those months.
Summer afternoons often bring thunderstorms in the mountains, so start early. Snow can fall from October, and in winter the high routes need full mountaineering skills. The valley still makes a quiet stop on a ski trip to nearby Kranjska Gora.
Hovedseverdigheter
Špik is the best-known peak of the group, at 2,472 m. Its sharp, triangular summit rises directly above Gozd Martuljek and is easy to photograph from the village. The standard routes start in the Krnica valley and take about five hours up. Parts have fixed cables, so this is a climb for experienced hikers.
I. Martuljški slap is the lower of the two Martuljek waterfalls and the easiest sight in the area. It lies about 1.5 km from Gozd Martuljek on foot, with a short climb. The rocks near the water are wet and slippery. The upper fall is further up the valley and needs a longer, steeper walk.
Široka peč forms an amphitheatre of rock with Dovški križ and Škrnatarica. It has no marked trail and few visitors, so it is a target for experienced mountaineers only.
Škrlatica is Slovenia's second-highest peak, at 2,740 m, next to the group. The route is very demanding, with secured sections. It starts in the Vrata valley rather than at Gozd Martuljek, so treat it as a separate trip.
