Vogel, Mountain peak in Julian Alps, Slovenia
Vogel is a limestone summit in the Julian Alps located between Bohinj and Tolmin municipalities. The peak rises prominently above surrounding valleys and connects to an extensive system of hiking trails that traverse the alpine terrain.
The peak stands in an area where human settlements existed since ancient times within the alpine region. The surrounding valleys show traces of long-standing occupation and traditional mountain living practices.
Local farmers maintain traditional alpine dairy practices in the surrounding pastures, producing regional specialties including distinctive Mohant cheese.
The mountain is most accessible during warmer months when trails are clear and weather conditions are stable. Winter conditions can make access challenging, but the region adapts with seasonal activities suitable for each time of year.
The Sava Bohinjka River flows through the valley at the base of Monte Vacu, creating natural conditions for various fish species.
