Svinjak, Mountain summit near Bovec, Slovenia.

The Svinjak peak reaches an elevation of 1,653 meters, featuring steep slopes and a sharp profile that stands out against the Julian Alps landscape.

The mountain served as a strategic observation point during World War I, with Austro-Hungarian forces establishing fortifications on its neighboring peaks in 1915.

Local mountaineering clubs organize regular guided climbs to Svinjak peak, introducing new generations to traditional Alpine hiking practices of the region.

The primary hiking route starts from Kal-Koritnica village at 470 meters elevation, following marked trails through forest paths for approximately three hours.

The mountain earned its nickname 'Matterhorn of Bovec' due to its distinctive pyramidal shape that dominates the Bovec basin viewscape.
