The Black Lake - Triglav National Park, Slovenia

Показать описание
Beautiful morning at lake Bohinj, the fog is slowly lifting up from the lake and the stunning view of the mountains reviles. We prepare our backpack and off we go, motivated to do at least one of the summits. 

Having no food supply left, we go to our favorite place to have our childish breakfast and with all the energy gained we are ready for a day full of adventures. 

Our first stop is the well known Slavica Waterfall which is known to be the biggest waterfall in Slovenia with a 40m drop, streaming out from the cliff which is fed by the underground karst channels from the Black Lake. Yes, the path to the waterfall is good, relatively easy, but it's way too touristy and packed with people. We also had to pay an entrance fee of 3 EUR. Was it worth it? It was nice, don't get me wrong, but it didn't impress. 

We continued our journey to our next destination - the Black Lake, but not before we stopped for a quick Slovenian cream cake to get out boost of energy before climbing the cliff up to the lake. 

The Black lake is the lowest Triglav lake lying above the Komarca cliff which is connected to the other Triglav Lakes. The Black lake is also the starting point to the Triglav Valley which holds the 7 Trigalv lakes and the trail to the mount Triglav itself. 

Climbing the cliff was challenging, very steep, dangerous but with an astonishing view over the Julien Alps and a great waterfall. After a 3 hour hike we got to the top of the cliff where the temperature suddenly dropped and started walking on ice and snow till the Black Lake. 

We took a well deserved break at the lake, eat whatever food we had left and just took in the beauty of the view.

The plan was to walk to the upper meadow at 1600m and off we go with our snow fences on and start walking on scary 4-5m snow. We found our way to a 1500m altitude, but struggled to find our way further on and due to lack of time we decided to return. Once again we are back at the lake, got some more water from the lake and decide to try our luck with another trail down. 

We walk and walk and walk, and after about an hour we can't see any more footsepts, and we make it official - we got lost. We found eventually a sign that told us we were waling on the Triglav Seven lake trail and what we originally had in mind. Once again we decide the return and this time we went down on the trail we got up.

We got back to the base about 8pm and finished our day with a rich 3 course dinner at our favorite place "Hotel STARE Bohinj" (link) - amazing service, cheap, great presentation and great quality food. If you are not camping and looking for a great place to relax around Lake Bohinj, this is the place. 

We went to Slovenia with the expectation of having a lot of rain and it took us by surprise with a great weather throughout our stay.

On our last day in Bohinj we walked around the lake with a few stops on the way to relax and take in the amazing views. Made some friends on the way too, 2 ducks swimming on the lake from one side to the other following us without fail. We stopped at the other side of the lake at a bench and the two ducks came to the shore and said hello :) 

After an enjoyable day walking around the lake, we packed and left Bohinj behind with a great sunset over the Julien Alps and the promise to return once more next year. 

We arrived in the evening to Ljubljana where we spent a few more hours in the city and slept at a Hostel where we almost fall asleep and miss my flight, but everything turned out well eventually. 

Such a great place, Slovenia, it has all my respect. Friendly people, great cities, great mountains, great rivers, lakes and awesome food. 

Here is a short video of my last 2 days in Bohinj, hope you enjoy it and make sure to stay by because I am continuing my journey in further explore the Romanian Carpathian Mountains.

Slap (waterfall) Savica (pron. Savitsa) - 40 m drop? Actually you can watch Savica from about 40 m distance. Left stream is with 78 m drop.
Now the biggest waterfall in Slovenia is slap Boka in Soča river valley with 106 m drop plus 33 m second step and it is 18 m wide.
