Join us on the May walk around Ljubljana
Walking is a basic movement activity and also the most popular form of movement among Slovenians. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, adults should do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity per week. But even if you can't do it, let us console you: every walk benefits your health, as it invigorates the blood, strengthens the heart, works against stress, and there is almost no chance of injury.
In Ljubljana, we have almost unlimited possibilities for walking and hiking: a little further uphill, you can see the paths to Golovec, Ljubljana Castle, Rožnik, Šmarna gora, Rašica, and the highest to Janče, and the almost completely flat Path ob žici, which is especially well visited on the Saturday closest to Ljubljana's city holiday, i.e. May 9. This year it will be on Saturday, 9 May, when you will be able to walk along the sandy path that once led around the city, and a day or two earlier, preschool children, elementary school children and students will be walking part of the same path.
Tenders for hikers have been published, there will be no registration fee, but you will register at one of the entry points, where they will be waiting for you with cards for collecting stamps.
OTP banka Tek trojk (Ljubljana Team Triples Run)
Join the OTP banka Tek trojk on 9 May for a unique team running experience that combines sport, friendship, and fun.
You can choose between two distances, 12.5 km or 20 km, making it suitable for both recreational runners and more experienced participants. The race is special because you run in teams of three, which adds motivation and a strong sense of connection.
The registration fee (only 10 EUR fot three runners) typically includes an official race bib, timing, and event organization. Participants also receive a race T-shirt and a small gift package from sponsors. Along the course, you are supported with refreshment stations and a great atmosphere created by cheering crowds. At the finish, you can enjoy a memorable celebration together with your teammates and other runners.
You are invited to Ljubljana Wire Trail
Last year, as many as 40,141 walkers of all generations joined us over three days, and with good weather this year, we expect even more participants. This year, the largest number of walkers is expected on Saturday, 9 May, when checkpoints will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
During this time, you can choose a longer hike of 33 km or a shorter, more relaxed walk along part of the route. To collect virtual stamps, we recommend using a mobile app on your smartphone (Pot ob žici), but you can also choose a traditional card, which you can receive free of charge at the checkpoints.
No pre-registration is required and there is no fee—just come and enjoy outdoor activity!
Program
Walk and Troika Run Program
The Municipality of Ljubljana and Timing Ljubljana will (from 7th to 9th May 2026) prepare the traditional, now already 68. march along the barbed wire. This is one of the largest sports and recreational events in our country, which every year attracts more than 45,000 participants. Most of the participants are usually attracted by a march along the trails around Ljubljana, where between the Second World War the wire fence of Italian and later on the German occupiers was. That’s why it is called “March along barbed wire”. The event is for everybody, younger and older people who are aware of the importance of a healthy lifestyle and want to spend a day in good company, relaxed atmosphere and meet Ljubljana from hiking perspective.
