Krnica is a beautiful 6 km long mountain valley south of the village of Kranjska Gora. The valley begins at Lake Jasna and runs along the Pisnica stream in the direction of Mt. Razor, which is one of the highest peaks in the Julian Alps. Krnica Valley is only a quick 35 minute drive from Bled, so it is a lovely destination for a day trip.

Our guest, Evgenii Danilov, who is currently staying with us in our accommodation Apartments Fine Stay, has sent us these beautiful photos from his recent trip to the Krnica Valley. Thank you so much Evgenii!

A trip to the alpine valley of Krnica is one of the most beautiful, easier hikes in the vicinity of Kranjska Gora, also suitable for families with children.

Lake Jasna is a great starting points for the Krnica Valley hike.

Krnica Valley begins at Lake Jasna and runs along the Pisnica stream in the direction of Mt. Razor, which is one of the highest peaks in the Julian Alps.

From the Krnica Valley there are amazing views on Mt Prisojnik (also Prisank) and Mt Razor – two of the highest peaks of the Julian Alps.

A forest path along the Pisnica stream leads through the valley.

Locals know that Krnica is enchanting in all seasons, it is beautiful just after the first fluffy snowfall, as well as in the warmer months.

Those who do not like to go up and down the same path, can for example start at Lake Jasna, continue along the Pisnica stream to the Koca V Krnici mountain hut, and on the way back turn left in the direction of Mihov Dom, from where they return to Lake Jasna along Vrsiska cesta road, direction Kranjska Gora.

The valley is about 6 kilometers long.

If you visit Krnica Valley in the winter, be sure to dress warmly.

You can park right next to Lake Jasna, there are paid and free parking spaces, but they fill up quickly on sunny weekends. It is possible to park a little further along the road leading to the Vrsic mountain pass, just before the bridge over the Pisnica Stream.
