Juliana Trail, Slovenia

Has anyone walked the Juliana Trail? Looks amazing. I wonder about walking solo and lodging. Thoughts, Pilgrims?https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/13/travel/slovenia-juliana-trail-hiking.html

I have not walked it, but it looks very interesting. There is actually a very good resource on this forum about it.

Research "Jakobova Pot", you should find everything you need.
I planned to walk it this year, but changed plans when I read about Bears in Slovania. Im sure its rare, but enough to turn me off, of course the pandemic also helped change all my plans for 2021.

The Juliana Trail and Jakobova Pot are 2 different walks.
The Juliana is essentially a tourist type walk, accommodations in villages and small towns. It looks lovely. It is a circular route.
The Jakobova Pot is the Way of St James through Slovenia ( a couple of alternative routes) and there are some pilgrim lodgings and private rooms plus commercial accommodations. It is a pretty solitary walk apparently.

It is a circular tourist trail, not a pilgrim trail. Well marked and quite easy.
Lots of accommodation on booking.com
Quite likely to be busy with walkers.
It looks very nice.
The pilgrim trail through Slovenia is the Jakobova Pot. Apparently it is relatively demanding, no English guide, very solitary, but amazing.
