Visoka Ponca, Mountain summit in Julian Alps, Italy and Slovenia
The Visoka Ponca mountain rises to 2,274 meters, featuring steep rocky slopes on its eastern face and gentler paths along its western approach.
The mountain region has witnessed centuries of cross-border activities between Italian and Slovenian communities, shaping the development of local mountain settlements.
The mountain's name reflects its geographical position, as Ponca in Slovenian refers to the peak's location relative to the sun at midday from nearby villages.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from both Italian and Slovenian sides, with the most accessible routes starting from Rateče or near Belopeška jezera.
The summit provides dual-country views across the Julian Alps, while the eastern slopes contain protected marshlands that support rare alpine plant species.
