Valley of seven Triglav Lakes
Book now

The diverse terrain of the Triglav Lakes Valley in the land of the Goldhorn Kingdom extends eight kilometers in length across the highlands between Trenta and Bohinj. In addition to the impressive seven lakes, this mountain world is also home to lush vegetation, animals of the alpine world and many forms of karst phenomena. The high mountain valley gained its reputation for being one of the most captivating parts of the Julian Alps.

The guided hiking tour will lead you on beautiful mountain pastures with shepherd’s cottages, among forests with mighty larches and small pines, clearings covered with flowers and to the overlook that offer magnificent views of the Lower Bohinj mountain range. Along the way, you will be surrounded by the scree slopes and peaks of the highest mountains in the Julian Alps.

More info about the area

The high mountain Triglav Lakes Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in the Julian Alps and will fascinate you with its beautiful lakes and their striking colors in the surrounding alpine nature. It is no surprise that the valley was a part of the Alpine Conservation Park, nowadays known as The Triglav Natural Park (in short: the TNP) since its origins in 1924. The TNP covers an area of 840 square kilometers, which presents 4 % of the total surface of Slovenia.

Due to its importance as a reserve of the untouched nature and fabulous fauna, it is no surprise that some activities are not allowed in the area. The same restrictions are valid also for the Triglav Lakes Valley, for example: swimming and other recreational activities are prohibited in the lakes. You can only observe them from the shore and enjoy the surrounding beautiful nature.

Discovering all seven high mountain lakes

There are several hiking accesses to the valley, while our Triglav seven lakes route starts from the Bohinj side. From here the tour continues in the direction of Jezerska Mountain and with each step, you will move further along the length and as well as altitude and discover all seven lakes one by one.

In the coniferous forest, we will reach the Black Lake, the first high mountain lake lying at an altitude of 1319 meters. It is the warmest among the seven lakes.

The hiking trail then leads us along the cart track to Dedno Field with lovely alpine clearings and further to Ovčarija Mount that lies at an altitude of 1600 meters. From there you can enjoy magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, such as Mala Tičarica, Vogel and Kopica. We will then continue along the Triglav Lakes Valley and discover the remaining six lakes.

Seven Triglav Lakes Hike

On our guided hiking tour around the Triglav Lakes Valley, we will make a stop to have some rest in a mountain cabin, on the southern verge of the valley. There you will have a refreshment with food and drinks. The cottage also offers a variety of traditional Slovenian dishes. After restoring our powers we can set off to the Double Lake in the surroundings. This lake is located at an altitude of 1685 meters. Although there are two lakes separated by a morainal embankment, they are combined into one at high water levels. The color of the water has a beautiful shade of aquamarine, which, like a magic mirror, reflects the forests and peaks above its surface.

Later, our path will guide us towards the Big Lake, the largest and deepest lake in the valley. From here, the magnificent views open to the surrounding scree slopes and the mountains that rise in the background.

The next is the Green Lake, located under Hribarica pass, near Zasavska mountain cottage. Algae in the water give it its mysterious green color. We will continue our way to the Brown Lake, which is the highest lying lake at 2006 m. The specialty of this lake is in the fact that it can dry up during the hot summer months. Another unusual lake, and the last one on our tour, is the Lake under Vršac. This lake remains frozen the most part of the year and there is little vegetation around it, adapted to survive to the conditions at this altitude.

Adjusted hiking tour to Triglav Lakes Valley according to your wishes

The Triglav Lakes Valley hike is suitable for all hikers and nature lovers. Children accompanied by parents can also take part in the tour. The trail is not technically difficult yet can be exposed in some climbing areas. In these parts, a guide will keep you safe and guide you along the way. Otherwise, the tour requires some psychophysical abilities and fitness. For a safe and comfortable journey, you will need hiking boots and equipment such as spare clothes and some bottles of water.

The hiking tour starts from Blato mount, which is considered to be the least demanding trail leading to the upper high mountain valley. The tour can be customized to your preferences, so we can only walk one part of the way. Yet, you can continue the tour from the cottage near Double Lake and towards the Big Lake.

What to bring: Appetite for adventure, Backpack, Bottle of water, Comfortable clothes, Hiking boots, Snack, Sunglasses, Sunscreen
Safety and limitations: This activity is not recommended for people with heart issues or pregnant women. When having health issues, please consult with a guide.
