Path of Remembrance and Comradeship

The path, also known as the “Path along the Wire” or the “Green Ring” is mainly intended for walking and running, although it is also popular with cyclists. For most of its length, it is broad and sandy and comfortable for walking on, although the parts passing through residential districts are asphalted in places. Some sections are very countrified, for example on Golovec Hill or by Koseze Pond, and the path, in general, has a “green” character, with around 7,400 trees of almost 50 different species planted along with it.

The path is marked by boards outlining its route, while round metal signs on the ground also help direct walkers. Commemorative stones placed by the path indicate the positions of wartime bunkers.

March along the barbed wire

An organised hike along the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship takes place every year on the first Saturday after 9 May (Ljubljana’s civic holiday) and attracts numerous recreational walkers of all generations. Those looking for a more demanding challenge can take part in the Troika Race over one of three distances (28 kilometres, 12 kilometres and, for children, 3 kilometres). This race also follows the route of the Path of Remembrance and Comradeship.
