Triglav Lakes Valley

Karst Caves and Sinkholes

The Triglav Lakes Valley is a rocky hanging valley in the Julian Alps of Slovenia, lying below the sheer sides of Mount Ticarica and Mount Zelnarica southwest of Triglav. It is also called the Seven Lakes Valley, though it actually holds ten lakes rather than seven, and because it lies above the tree line on geologically alpine karst, it has also been termed the Sea of Stone Valley.
