Triglav Lakes Valley
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The Triglav Lakes Valley (Template:Langx) is a rocky hanging valley in the Julian Alps in Slovenia, below the sheer sides of Mount Tičarica and Mount Zelnarica southwest of Triglav. The valley is also called the Seven Lakes Valley (Script error: No such module "Lang".), although there are ten and not seven lakes in the valley. It is above the tree line and is geologically alpine karst; therefore it has also been termed the Sea of Stone Valley (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
Lakes
The lowest lake is the Black Lake (Script error: No such module "Lang".) at an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert". above sea level; it is above the rocky slope of the Komarča Crag. The Alpine newt (Ichthyosaura alpestris), endemic to the Alps, lives in it. Below Mount Tičarica (elevation Script error: No such module "convert".) there are two interconnected lakes known as the Double Lake (Script error: No such module "Lang".). At an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert". lies the Big Lake (Script error: No such module "Lang".) or the Lake Ledvica (literally: Lake Kidney; Script error: No such module "Lang".). It has the shape of a kidney and is the largest and the deepest of these lakes. The highest is the Podstenje Lake (Script error: No such module "Lang".), which is located at an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert"..
Mountain huts
There are two mountain lodges in the Triglav Lakes Valley. The Triglav Lakes Lodge (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "convert".), owned by the Ljubljana-Matica Hilwalking Club, is located at its southern edge, whereas the Central Sava Lodge at Prehodavci (Script error: No such module "Lang".; Script error: No such module "convert".), operated by the Radeče Alpine Club, is located at its northern edge. They are two hours apart. They may be accessed from Bohinj over the Komna Plateau (5 hours to the Triglav Lakes Lodge), from Bohinj over the Komarča Crag (3 hours), from the Blato Pasture (3:30 hours), from Trenta (3 hours to the Central Sava Valley Lodge, and over Trebiščina Pasture (3:30 hours to the Central Sava Valley Lodge).
Cultural significance
The designer Marko Pogačnik stylised the Triglav Lakes Valley in the Slovenian coat of arms with two wavy lines under the silhouette of Triglav.[1]
