Covering 318 hectares, it\u2019s situated within the Bohinj Valley in the Julian Alps. Part of the Triglav National Park, it is the largest lake in the country. Whether you long to hike in the alps or discover the awe-inspiring Savica Waterfall, Lake Bohinj is a must.<\/p><p>But how do you get there? If you&#8217;re staying in Kranj (a nearby city to the lake), you can take a bus directly to Lake Bohinj. Alternatively, you can get a cab or hire a car for the day. <\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) Triglav Lakes<\/h2><p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"365\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/cjlcJu-y6fRqFiMyN5-fYbHcTPrIWtugxOP3ZpoZMVrTnTOHVABQ-L80GiqRQ-weBHKizaOvgFjrMKh448SOE1ho6iHqnsqR2F97GbEWhFjBfAcwy6Yj3dGw-KT_E9aWfaG-VeFt\"><br>Photo by<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@aleskrivec?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Ales Krivec<\/a> on<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/triglav-lakes?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Unsplash<\/a><\/p><p>Resembling something out of a movie, the Triglav Lakes is a beautiful destination whether you\u2019re looking for a relaxing afternoon or you fancy putting on your hiking boots and want to head into the mountains. Also known as the Valley of the Seven Lakes, the incredible colours of the Triglav Lakes make it a perfect photo opportunity.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Similarly to Lake Bohinj, the Triglav Lakes are situated within the Julian Alps. However, in the Triglav Lakes, you won\u2019t only find one lake &#8211; but as the above name suggests, you\u2019ll find seven; known as&nbsp;Jezero pod Vr\u0161acem, Mlaka v La\u0161tah, Rjavo jezero (Brown Lake), Zeleno jezero (Green Lake) , Veliko jezero (The Great Lake) Dvojno jezero (Double Lake) and the \u010crno jezero (Black Lake).<\/p><p>To get to the Triglav Lakes, you can either drive to Planina Blato or you can hike up to Stara Fuzina. But for the latter, make sure you\u2019re ready for some serious hiking as it can take up to 6 hours one way.<\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Lake Zelenci<\/h2><p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/CJMssUDRVKZhXkFcb2Q1pF4vV3QMCbwaBDLnjILWYke7MzDsA5YSQrFa89u3F0pL_P0H9Yd5Jm7KW2dQHqBwSeh4YG_t2mB6mTBcjXxxZ_vY-_CcWNRZCx0zSS-LFW180OukrodV\"><br>Photo by<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@katjnem?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Katja Nemec<\/a> on<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/lake-zelenci?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Unsplash<\/a><\/p><p>Wanting to escape the hustle and bustle when <a href=\"https:\/\/interrailplanner.com\/blog\/top-5-places-to-interrail-in-slovenia\/\">interrailing<\/a>? Then head to Lake Zelenci. Mountain wetlands, it is surrounded by boardwalks, wading birds, and some of the world\u2019s rarest plants; including the carnivorous sundew.<\/p><p>As soon as you step foot on one of the enchanting wooden footpaths you will be in awe of the sparkling turquoise waters. Especially beautiful when visited in winter, it was declared a nature reserve nearly 30 years ago in 1992. Since then, it has become a favourite with both locals and tourists alike.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Set on 15 hectares, it is nestled between Italy and Podkaren. Whilst at the nature reserve, make sure to visit the observation tower and the limestone peaks of the nearby Ponce mountain range.<\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Krn Lake<\/h2><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/VWory_INQa6Nq0IsY1hlOmMsfIUEC1z9ZMNvlXxMhe5VGoxUDQYuwVHGR10HgmgnKPDAmkDkNGEC7L6g9htf_YTfOG3zMzNSCoixZ_jR7tNe5DLkhDs-ngqQTqVfkjTz5AyDZ55t\"><br>Photo by Marco Verch on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/30478819@N08\/48614509296\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/30478819@N08\/48614509296\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Flickr<\/a><\/p><p>Next on our list is Krn Lake.

But that doesn\u2019t mean it isn\u2019t spectacular. Made up of two interconnected lakes, you can easily visit Lake Jasna if staying in the nearby city of Villach. Located near the Italian and Slovenian border, the lakes bring thousands of tourists every year due to its beautiful, mountainous backdrop.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Boasting walking trails and renowned for its fishing opportunities, this small aquamarine lake has white sand around its rim and has a statue of a golden-horned ibex (known as Zlatorog at its entrance.<\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6) Lake Kreda<\/h2><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"339\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/xwuYk7eZ94v2McFhw04J1vFwYlt7QKaVrBJ2A-fT8kX6058or7rKK3A0h47b2x_8PuYaEwk3ea54C5ABrWsJH_3sU033TRmg8AVFRtjDa-yNj_UXnFJXCRP1YeVPSxP6bUcyToct\"><br><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Lake_Kreda_(230457099).jpeg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rok B, CC0, via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><p>This may be another man-made lake, but Lake Kreda is a marvel of beauty. Set in the Radovna valley in the north west of Slovenia, it is a popular destination for hiking, swimming or indulging in a delicious picnic. A pastel green colour, many people believe that the lake has healing effects due to its high volume of chalk.<\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7) Lake Trboje<\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/GSQpaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/7qOu2--aArNSs8oC6RVZ1KJf1broHAsEH2x5lTd2iUUEQlksLc3GgLFsqMwOrGZupFIpow28rZLBcURt2Wigq_zPoqyxxBWisbIPCBmXyv4OQTPYRgZ98MwJPiZoO0K7T4CodlMO\"><\/a><\/p><p>And finally, Lake Trboje. A popular location for paddle boarding and rowing, Lake Trboje is situated in the Gorenjska region of Slovenia. An artificial reservoir within the Sava river, despite its young age, it\u2019s a rich natural habitat with over 140 species of birds. It\u2019s also a popular spot for fishing and bird watching.<\/p><p>So, there you go. There are 7 of the most beautiful lakes to visit when you\u2019re interrailing or travelling around Slovenia. Of course, as aforementioned, Lake Bled is also a very beautiful choice.
