Mount Velika Špička, Notranjska Park, Slovenija

It is really not difficult to find out why the hill north of Begunje is called Špička (slovenian word for spike). Its pointed peak, rising above the Menišija plateau, is visible even from a far. There are multiple trails to the peak, the marked one starts in Begunje, and once on the top, you can enjoy beautiful views of Mount Slivnica and the surrounding hills and villages.

A map of all hiking trails in the mystical land of Lake Cerknica can be purchased at the Visitor Center Lake Cerknica at an affordable price of 2.00 €.
