Descrizione

​The Pišnica ('Gravelly') River forms at the confluence of Velika Pišnica (Big Pišnica) Creek and Mala Pišnica (Little Pišnica) Creek near the Kranjska Gora town. The map below covers Pišnica and Velika Pišnica valleys. At the entrance to the valley, near the confluence of two Pišnica creeks, lies Lake Jasna, which consists of two interconnected artificial lakes. The water in the river and the lakes is quite cold, even in summer (5–10 °C), as the water source is glacial, which lowers the temperature throughout the entire valley, making it more mountainous than its altitude of 800-1100 meters suggests.

At Lake Jasna, there are mostly common bird species like Germano reale, Rondine, Balestruccio, and Ballerina bianca. As you progress deeper into the valley, birding gets more and more interesting, and species like Cincia mora, Cincia dal ciuffo, Rampichino alpestre, Ballerina gialla, and Merlo acquaiolo start to pop up. At the Krnica meadow, look for Rondone maggiore. A pair of Aquila reale probably breeds somewhere in the upper valley near the Koča v Krnici (Mountain Hut at Krnica).

The area is part of the Triglav National Park and the IBA Julijci.

Dettagli

Accesso

Practically the only access to Pišnica River Valley is from the Kranjska Gora town. The best place to park is at the paid parking near Lake Jasna, marked on the map below. Currently, as of writing this guide, it is also possible to park in the smaller parking 1 km further up the valley, but that parking place may be abolished soon, as it lies inside the Triglav National Park and the construction of the national park entrance barrier is ongoing.
