Lake Jasna

Lake Jasna, just two kilometers south of Kranjska Gora, is a sparkling gem at the gateway to Triglav National Park. Framed by the dramatic peaks of the Julian Alps, this pair of interconnected artificial lakes is renowned for its crystal-clear aquamarine waters that mirror the surrounding mountains, creating a picture-perfect setting in every season.

A circular walking path encircles the lake, making it accessible for families, strollers, and anyone seeking a leisurely stroll. Along the way, you’ll find plenty of benches to pause and soak in the alpine scenery, as well as a lookout tower that offers panoramic views for those willing to climb its steep ladders. One of the lake’s most iconic features is the bronze statue of Zlatorog, the mythical golden-horned ibex, which is a favorite photo spot for visitors.

Lake Jasna is a year-round destination: in summer, visitors cool off with a swim, try fly-fishing, or enjoy refreshments at lakeside cafés; in winter, the snow-dusted landscape is equally enchanting. The Kneipp Path, a unique wellness trail with alternating hot and cold foot baths, adds a touch of relaxation and health to your visit. Evening musical performances sometimes grace the lakeshore, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.

With free parking nearby and easy access on foot from Kranjska Gora, Lake Jasna is an inviting retreat for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to experience the serene beauty of Slovenia’s alpine region.
