This scenic three-day trek offers much more than just hiking – it’s a complete alpine experience filled with natural wonders and cultural history. One of the main highlights is the ascent of Mt. Krn (2,244 m), a legendary peak offering wide-open views stretching toward the Adriatic Sea. Just below its summit lies Krn Lake, a stunning glacial lake nestled among rugged mountain walls, providing a perfect spot to rest and reflect.
The route leads across Bogatin Saddle and onto the panoramic Komna Plateau, where alpine meadows, historic military trails, and panoramic vistas come together in a unique high-mountain setting. Along the way, you’ll encounter remnants of World War I, including bunkers, tunnels, and barracks, offering a sense of connection to the region’s past.
On the final day, the trail descends past the magical Savica Waterfall, one of the most picturesque in Slovenia, before reaching the shores of Lake Bohinj, where a refreshing swim awaits. With moderate walking times, expert local guidance, and overnight stays in welcoming mountain huts, this trek is ideal for nature lovers, families, and those looking for a rich and rewarding alpine adventure.
