Triglav National Park hosts a forest walk on 26 October 2026, with the meeting point at Mrzli studenec on Pokljuka. The programme focuses on learning about Pokljuka's plants and animals, giving travellers in Bled, Slovenia, a specific autumn date for a park activity.
Pokljuka forest walk is listed for 26 October
The event is titled Sprehod skozi pokljuški gozd - spoznavanje rastlin in živali Pokljuke, which translates as a walk through the Pokljuka forest to learn about its plants and animals. The listing places it within Triglav National Park and gives Mrzli studenec, Pokljuka, as the meeting point.
The same walk is also listed for 30 October 2026. The calendar does not state a programme time, admission detail or route length, so visitors have only the published date, subject and meeting point to plan around. The October event listing identifies both dates and the park location.
Pokljuka puts the programme inside a protected Alpine landscape
Pokljuka is a high forested plateau within the wider protected area, and the event's subject connects directly with the park's conservation role. A walk centred on plants and animals therefore takes place in the kind of natural setting that the park's management is required to protect.
The park lies in north-western Slovenia, close to the borders with Italy and Austria, and overlaps almost completely with the Eastern Julian Alps. Its official profile records 840 square kilometres, equal to four per cent of Slovenia's surface area, while Bled is one of the municipalities that partly lies within its boundaries.
The area's protection began in 1924 with the Alpine Conservation Park in the Triglav Lakes Valley. The modern national park was established under the 1981 Triglav National Park Act. Triglav, at 2,864 metres, is the highest point in the park. These facts give the October walk a clear setting: it is a nature-focused programme inside one of Europe's older protected landscapes, rather than a town-centre attraction. The official park profile confirms the geography, area and history.
October dates connect Bled with Pokljuka
The event calendar also places the park's October programme at the Infocenter Triglavska roža Bled and elsewhere in the protected area. The Pokljuka dates are distinct because they move the activity from an information centre into the forest landscape named in the programme.
For travellers based in Western Europe, the practical point is the fixed date and meeting location. The listing gives no evidence of a closure or altered access to the wider park, so the walk should not be treated as a general change to park entry. Conditions on forest paths can change independently of the event listing.
