• Krn Lake

    Description

    Krnsko jezero, the largest high-altitude lake in Slovenia, is located at 1,394 meters above sea level in the Triglav National Park. Nestled between the peaks of Krn (2,244 m) and Batognica (2,164 m), the lake is of glacial origin and surrounded by karst terrain. It measures 300 meters in length, 150 meters in width, and reaches a depth of nearly 18 meters. With a surface area of 5.9 hectares, the lake offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, including Krn and its neighboring peaks. The nearby Planinski dom pri Krnskih jezerih provides a great spot to rest after a hike. Swimming in the lake is prohibited to protect its delicate ecosystem, which is endangered due to the introduction of non-native fish species.
