Trail of the Seven Lakes
Into the Heart of Triglav National Park
Difficulty Level: 3/5
Duration: Approximately 8 hours
Guided by: Licensed PZS Mountain Guide
There are trails that take us to the summit, and there are trails that carry us away from everyday life for a few unforgettable hours. The hike to the Triglav Lakes Lodge is exactly this kind of experience – a full-day journey through one of the most beautiful corners of Triglav National Park, where dramatic mountains, alpine meadows, and crystal-clear lakes come together to create a landscape beyond words.
We begin our hike at Planina Blato, where a peaceful mountain trail leads us through forests and traditional alpine pastures towards the heart of the Seven Lakes Valley. Along the way, we reach Planina pri Jezeru, one of the most picturesque mountain pastures in the Julian Alps, where time seems to slow down. The trail continues towards Planina Ovčarija, opening up beautiful views of the Bohinj mountains, green pastures, and the rolling alpine landscape.
The most spectacular part of the journey awaits as we cross the scenic Štapce pass and descend towards the Triglav Lakes Lodge, surrounded by one of Slovenia’s most iconic alpine landscapes. At Double Lake, we take time to rest, capture unforgettable moments, and admire the nature that has inspired hikers and mountain lovers for generations. A warm meal and refreshments are available at the mountain hut.
After a well-deserved break, we return along a circular route through the Viševnik area, offering new perspectives of the surrounding peaks and completing a truly memorable alpine experience. The return is planned for the late afternoon or evening.
This tour is perfect for those who want to experience the authentic beauty of the mountains without technically demanding climbs, while still enjoying enough challenge to make the achievement at the end of the day even more rewarding.
