Lake Jasna & Kranjska Gora

Jezero Jasna, Kranjska Gora

A turquoise high-mountain lake and a ski town at the foot of the Julian Alps. It is the starting point for the drive over Vršič Pass.

Lake Jasna lies about 2 km south of Kranjska Gora, a ski town in the northwest corner of Slovenia. Its water is a clear turquoise, and a statue of an ibex stands on the shore, with the limestone peaks of the Julian Alps rising behind it, a view worthy of a postcard. In winter, Kranjska Gora hosts an alpine skiing World Cup event. In summer, you can cycle, hike, or drive from here over the 1,611-meter Vršič Pass to the Soča Valley. It is about 40 km and roughly 40 minutes by car from Bled, and there are direct buses from Ljubljana.
