Byline

Desk byline for seed records. Named surveying editors replace this once a trail is verified.
Figures marked provisional are seed data and still need verification. Source and last-checked date sit under each cited value.

Altitude weather delta
High 2,662 m minus low 19 m is 2,643 m of relief on this record. A standard tropospheric lapse of 6.5 °C per 1,000 m implies about 17.2 °C cooler at the high point than the valley, all else equal.
That is a model (International Standard Atmosphere environmental lapse), not a forecast and not a trail-closure. Wind, snow, and storms stay in Hazards.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 6443086 (ODbL). The mapped line and 2D length are derived from that geometry. Ascent, descent, and high/low points are sampled from Copernicus GLO-30 (copernicus-dem:glo-30) and remain provisional. Water, permits, and hazards were not taken from OSM tags and must be verified.
OSM 2D length is 577.6 km (relation 6443086). Published figures disagree and are cross-checks only, not this DataPoint: Wikipedia (Slovenian Mountain Trail, checked 2026-08-23) cites 599 km, 45.2 km total ascent, 80 control points, and a crossing of Triglav (2,864 m); PZS cites 617.4 km (https://www.slovenska-planinska-pot.si/index_en.php).
typicalDays 30 is the published continuous average (~30 days; ~49 days to walk all 12 sections) from Cicerone, The Slovene Mountain Trail (provisional; Cowork 2026-08-23). It replaces the ingest placeholder Math.round(lengthKm/12). Not a DataPoint. Wikipedia does not give a day count.
Published whole-route ascent figures disagree (Wikipedia cites 45.2 km / 45 200 m; the PZS trail page cites 37 300 m uphill). Those are cross-checks only; vertical DataPoints stay with the DEM source.
Difficulty is graded per day 1–3 (Cicerone); no single SAC grade — mixed T1–T5 equivalent. The ingest SAC T2 / YDS 1 fields are left unchanged rather than inventing one value for a multi-grade route.
Water
No water sources recorded.
Surface
Surface is not recorded. This field is filled only from an OSM surface tag, not from the grade.
Permits & fees
Permit status is unverified. Permit fields were not sourced from OSM. Confirm locally before travel. Official PZS trail page (https://www.slovenska-planinska-pot.si/index_en.php, checked 2026-08-20) covers access, hut membership discounts, and a wild-camping ban but does not state a walking-permit requirement; left unverified rather than asserted.
