Matajur is part of Julian Prealps in west-south direction to Adriatic see. Mounting was (or still is) a true symbol of Slovenian people, living beyond the present state border. It's a broad, quite powerful mountain, offering a lot to a mountaineering soul: hikes from all sides (also a 1200 m of altitude hike over the rocky and rugged west face), nice ski tours, mountain biking and more...Getting There
