Triglav Lakes Valley
Dolina Triglavskih jezer
The high-alpine lake valley at the heart of Triglav National Park, where a string of glacial lakes lies scattered across a limestone plateau. It is Slovenia's most classic mountain hiking route.
The Seven Lakes Valley lies on a high karst plateau at roughly 1,300 to 2,000 m. More than seven glacial lakes are scattered along the valley, their waters ranging from emerald green to deep blue. The classic route starts at the Savica Waterfall car park and climbs about 3 hours past the steep Komarča cliffs to Black Lake (Črno jezero) and the Seven Lakes Hut. The next day, continue past the lakes to the Two Lakes Hut, then descend from Planina pri Jezeru to Stara Fužina. The loop usually takes two days, though fit hikers can make a day trip to Black Lake and back. The trail is steep, so bring hiking boots, and book huts in advance.
