Krn Lakes above Soča Valley

Itinerary

Starting from Lepena, a beautiful valley just underneath the Alps, we head towards the lake on a wide forest trail. After about an 2-hour hike through a forest, the trail opens up to the peaks above, and after another hour we finally arrive at the lake. For the hungry, we prepare a delicious picnic right on the lakeshore on the biggest Alpine lake of Slovenia, or you can decide to enjoy a good meal at the Lake Krn Hut, located just 15 minutes from the lake. Please note that it's about 3 hours to Lake Krn for adults (one way), which should make a 4-hour walk up for young families (one way).

Extra options:

1. We can extend the tour to two days with a night at the comfortable Krn Lake Hut (hot shower, possibility of a private room).

2. The hike can be extended to the spectacular Velika Baba peak above the lakes. Stats: 1400 m of ascent and 16 km distance altogether. Can be split into two days.
