Lake Bohinj is the biggest glacial lake in the Triglav National Park. It is the best-kept secret and a must-see in Slovenia. The largest natural lake in Slovenia, best known for its motive of the stone bridge and the Church of St. John the Baptist. Various water sports are popular here in the summer. Also recommended are a circular walk and biking around Lake Bohinj.
Triglav National Park is the only Slovenian national park. It covers an 838 km2 area to the border with Italy and Austria, 4% of Slovenia’s entire territory. The national park was named after Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia (2.864 m). Triglav (»three-headed«) owes its name to its characteristic shape seen from the southeast side. According to ancient Slavic legends, Mount Triglav is the three-headed God who watches over the earth, the sky and the underworld. The mountain is a national symbol featured on the national coat of arms and the Slovenian national flag.
Slovenian highest peaks - the majority of Slovenia’s 400 two-thousand-metre mountains lie within Triglav National Park. Views of them are fascinating. The highest of them - Triglav summit, in clear weather, can be seen from virtually all parts of the country. Alongside Triglav are the mighty peaks of Mangart, Jalovec, Prisojnik, and Špik. There is a great contour range: pointed peaks, plunging rock faces and deeply carved, glacially formed valleys. The mountains in Triglav National Park are bound together with well-marked and, where necessary, well-secured trails.
The valley of Triglav's Seven Lakes is an alpine valley in the Julian Alps in the Triglav National Park between Bohinj and Trenta. It is a rocky hanging valley, approximately 8 km long, located southwest of Triglav, below the sheer sides of Mountains Tičarica and Zelnarica. The valley has specific karstic features. Here you can discover a reddish Jurassic rock with many fossils. Black Lake (Črno jezero) is the lowest lake, 1.294 metres above sea level. The Double Lake (Dvojno jezero) below Mount Tičarica (1.676 m) make two interconnected lakes. At 1.838 m lies Big Lake (Veliko jezero), which got its name because of its location in a cavity in the middle of the forest. It is the largest and the deepest Triglav lake. The highest is Podstenje Lake (Jezero v Podstenju), located at 1.993 m, also called the Lake under Vršac. Almost all Triglav lakes are connected. Their water flows into the Sava Bohinjka River and continues towards the Black Sea.
