This is an alpine lake, easily accessible via a nice mountain trail. There are actually three lakes around Krn mountain, but this one is the largest and most popular. It lies in the south of Triglav national park. There’s a mountain hut http://ift.tt/1JNw95e nearby, which makes it perfect for a family day hike.
Krn Lake is located at an altitude of 1340 m. It is 400 m long and 17 m deep and is considered the largest Slovenian alpine lake.
Small, gluttonous fish (Phoxinus leavis) were brought to the lake between the wars as food for the trout and have acclimatised very well. Krn Lake almost completely floods the basin at the foot of Krn that is surrounded with rare pinewoods. The moments at sunset, when from the banks of the lake one can view the rocky summits above, can be very peaceful.
Access:
18 km from Bovec,
at the end of the Lepena Valley, above the lodge Koča dr. Klementa Juga, starts a »comfortable« pathway; it takes about 2 to 2 ½ hours to reach the lakes.
Triglav National Park
The Triglav National Park (TNP) is the only Slovenian national park. The park was named after Triglav, the highest mountain in the heart of the park, which is also the highest summit in Slovenia (2864 m). The origin of the name Triglav is rather uncertain. Triglav (»three-headed«) owes its name to its characteristic shape as seen from the south-east side or to the highest Slavic deity who was supposed to have its throne on the top of the mountain. The mountain is a true national symbol and is featured on the national coat of arms and the flag.
The Triglav National Park extends along the Italian border and close to the Austrian border in the north-west of Slovenia, that is, in the south-eastern section of the Alps. Its territory is nearly identical with that occupied by the Eastern Julian Alps. The park covers 880 square kilometres, or 3% of the territory of Slovenia. The Triglav National Park is among the earliest European parks; the first protection dates back to 1924 when the Alpine Conservation Park was founded. The principal task of the Triglav National Park Public Institution is the protection of the park, but it also carries out specialist and research tasks.
Fresh green and lots of rain in southern Bavaria!
