Lake Jasna

Lake Jasna is an extraordinary beautiful small alpine lake. The statue of Goldhorn (Slovene: Zlatorog) stands proudly at the entrance, don’t forget to take a photo or two! The views around the lake are very scenic. There’s an area to feed the ducks, a 3 level diving platform and central platform to swim to. The area around the lake offers wonderful trails, but you can also enjoy fishing since it is a well-known fishing district. Really a great place to spend a bit of time and enjoy incredible views.

Capela Russa

The wooden chapel, dedicated to St. Vladimir, was built in 1917 by Russian prisoners of war in memory of the deceased during the construction of the Vršič Pass road. Some of the perished Russian prisoners, who built the road over Vršič, were buried in Trenta, and the majority in the common graves on Vršič and underneath it, in a stone tomb shaped like a pyramid. Next to it the surviving Russian prisoners built a memorial chapel in the Russian style, which was acquired by the Russian Matica in 1924. Ecclesiastically and legally it belongs to the Russian Orthodox parish in Belgrade and was at the time of its construction most likely the westernmost Orthodox church in the world. The construction of the chapel is wooden. Originally it was covered with bark, later with small boards. The humble interior shows an interesting altar with iconostasis, forged chandeliers and candlesticks. In the vicinity of the Russian Chapel, you can visit the graves and a stone tomb dating back to 1936–37.

Triglav

Julius Kugy called the highest mountain in the Slovenian Alps a kingdom. Triglav is our national symbol, our “holy mountain”. Triglav has been a symbol of Slovenia since 1895, when it was bought by the parish priest of Dovje, Jakob Aljaž, in order to protect it from Germanisation, and also a symbol of Slovenia after independence. You can climb to the 2864 m high peak of Triglav from the valleys of Vrata, Kot and Krma, from Trenta, from Pokljuka and from Bohinj. The shortest route to Triglav is from the Vrata valley, and the easiest and at the same time the longest is the 7 km long route through the Krma valley. Aljaž’s tower awaits you at the top. This metal cylinder, which has been declared a cultural and historical monument, was dragged to the top of Triglav by Aljaž’s friends in 1895! The tower during storms acts as Feraday’s cage, as lightning strikes to the exposed summit claimed casualties among the first to approach.
