Winter Hike to Matajur

My friend and I decided to do a nice, easy hike in winter with some snow. We decided to go up Matajur from Avsa, which is not demanding. We needed less than 2 hours up and even less down.

Matajur (1641 m) is a prominent mountain on the border between Slovenia and Italy. It is known for its grassy summit. It also offers one of the most beautiful panoramic views in the Julian Alps. From the top you can see the Soča Valley, the Adriatic Sea on clear days and even the Dolomites. Matajur is also historically significant. During World War I, it marked an important breakthrough point. Traces of military history can still be found along the trails, like many other mountains around.
