The natural pearl of the Highlands, reached by one of the world's most beautiful hiking trails

The article describes the Lovrenška Lakes, a group of small glacial lakes located at approximately 1500 meters above sea level in the Pohorje region of Slovenia. These lakes are part of the largest high-altitude peatland in Slovenia and one of the more significant ones in southern Europe. The area consists of around 20 small lake basins formed during the Ice Age roughly 8000 years ago, with some reaching depths of up to 1.2 meters. The landscape features wide peatlands, low shrubs, spruce forests, and meadows, offering a unique natural experience different from typical mountain lake hikes. Wooden paths guide visitors through more sensitive areas of the peatland, allowing them to view the lakes without damaging the fragile environment. The area supports diverse plant and animal life, including rare species like the alpine accentor and the endangered moorhen. A popular hiking route begins at Hotel Planja on Rogla, covering approximately 15 kilometers with moderate difficulty.
