The Valley of Lakes
The Triglav Lakes Valley is the hidden core of Slovenia's Julian Alps, a string of seven glacial lakes set in a karst basin of pale rock and dwarf pine. The trail climbs from the Bohinj plateau past lake after lake, each a different colour, with a mountain hut at the heart of the valley where many hikers stay the night before pushing on to Triglav itself, the country's highest peak and national symbol.

Most hikers start from the Bohinj side and stay overnight at the Triglav Lakes hut, which sits between the lakes deep in the valley.
Swimming in the lakes is forbidden, they are a protected and fragile karst system. Carry all water and waste out with you.
