Access to starting point:
Between Trenta and Bovec, at the village of Soča, the road to Lepena branches off. We follow this fully asphalted road to the parking lot at the Dom v Lepeni.
Route description:
From the Dom dr. Klementa Juga in Lepena we continue on a wide marked path in the direction of the Krn Lakes. After a few minutes of walking, the wide and not too steep path splits into two parts. The left one, which is a bit steeper, is the usual way; the right one, less steep and a bit longer, is suitable for small children and the elderly. Both paths mostly ascend through the forest to the upper station of the cargo cableway and cross each other a few times on the way. From the upper station of the cargo cableway, we continue on the same path, which gently ascends on the wide transport road that quickly brings us to the snow height measurement (every year in April). From here the road starts to descend and leads us past the turn-off to Velika Baba, quickly bringing us to the next junction where we leave the road and continue left downhill on the footpath that in a few minutes brings us to the Dom pri Krnskih jezerih (if we continue on the road, we bypass the mountain hut).

I will also go up there at the first opportunity.
hribolazec127. 07. 2011
My wife and I also went 25/07 from Lepena to Krn, slept in the hut at the lakes. Friendly staff, quick service, very varied offer, atmosphere in the hut really nice mountaineering
I'm from central Slovenia and to G. Van Sims and similar minded I inform that I'm not a local drunkard as he labels some visitors to mountain huts ......Madam....etc
Lucy15. 08. 2011
We also visited the hut at Krn Lakes and were somewhat surprised by the number of people up there. The path itself is easy and sufficiently well marked. I must praise the hut staff, who were very friendly and helpful, which is almost a rarity among mountain hut keepers according to my experiences. We'll come back. We also walked to the lake, where there were also swarms of visitors. In short, a beautiful and well-visited location, suitable for everyone.

Hello
Will the road to Lepena from Bovec direction be open by Saturday? Different data are appearing.
miri7. 11. 2012
Thanks. On TV there was some kind of detour.
GregorC7. 11. 2012
On the promet.si website it says that the Bovec - Trenta road is closed due to road surface collapse near Trenta.
jax7. 11. 2012
No, mirijevo question was of course not nonsensical and the answer hasn't been given here yet. It's about where the road collapse happened. It was said to be in Trenta, and the road to Lepena branches off from Vršiška quite a bit before Trenta (from Bovec direction). In that case it should be passable. On the other hand, on promet.si the closure sign is marked right after Bovec. Now I'm not quite clear either how far one can go and where it becomes impassable.
Anyway, in any case within a couple of days at least a temporary detour will probably be established.
IgorZlodej7. 11. 2012
The road from Bovec to the beginning of Lepena is passable, but not to Lepena, because the road is undermined and closed. The road in the direction of Trenta was washed away at the turnoff for Berebica (Podskalar).
miri7. 11. 2012
Igor, thanks.
turbo7. 11. 2012
Igor, I apologize! zadrega Really, I shouldn't have. I know.
rs568. 11. 2012
Igor, that means you can only drive to the camp. I'm also interested because of the visit to Krnsko jezero on Saturday
potočan8. 11. 2012
Yeah, I'm also wondering if one can get to the Dom v Lepeni.
Janez Seliškar8. 11. 2012
You can of course reach Dom dr. Klementa Juga v Lepeni. By road, currently on foot, from Trenta or from Dom pri Krnskih jezerih. Some hunting or shepherd path can also be found.
stankos8. 11. 2012
The road is open, though there is a partial closure.
arejc108. 11. 2012
You can reach Dom dr. Klementa Juga by car, but not with larger vehicles. See you on Saturday at the lake.
potočan9. 11. 2012
What about via Vršič, can one get to Lepena?
turbo9. 11. 2012
On promet.si they say the following:

Gorenjska and Northern Primorska - complete closures:

- on the regional road Trenta - Bovec, subsidence near Trenta;

- RT Mojstrana - Vrata, damaged road surface;

- RT Krnica - Radovna, subsidence
Laščan9. 11. 2012
@tulipan replies in the conditions section that from the Gorenjska direction to Lepena you can only go via Predel, thus past Trbiž and Rablje...
potočan9. 11. 2012
I just called AMZS and they told me that it's possible to reach Lepena from the Gorenjska direction only via Predil.
stankos9. 11. 2012
According to the latest information, the celebration should be at the Klementa Juga hut
rs569. 11. 2012
Latest information from the Municipality of Bovec and society 1313, the celebration will be at Krnsko jezero
tulipan9. 11. 2012
On the main road in Trenta, an emergency bypass has been arranged, so access via Vršič is also possible (PN 9 November 2012). Of course the road is not officially open, as stated by Mayor Siniša Germovšek.
arejc109. 11. 2012
You can also get to Lepena from the Trenta direction. I've been driving on this road myself since Tuesday. I don't know about the conditions on Vršič. The celebration will be by the lake.
Carpinus31. 03. 2014
What is the path like now? Is there frozen snow, are crampons needed?
cmilk27. 04. 2014
Does anyone perhaps have information on what the path to Krn Lake is like? Is there still a lot of snow? Thanks.
Ruzowski28. 04. 2014
"We report that there is currently (22.04.2014) approx. 2 meters of snow. The path to the hut is tracked. Suitable mountaineering equipment for winter conditions is required."

here is the link..

Jigga20. 05. 2015
What are the conditions like now, has anyone been? How is it around the lake I mean. The hut is closed as I read.
adry21. 05. 2015
Yes, I was there on Saturday, 16.5., no problems, all paths dry from Lepena to planina Duplje and towards Bogatinsko sedlo to Bogatin. The hut is closed though. Didn't go to see the lakes this time. Spring green-colored idyll, really nice.

Mountaineering Association Nova Gorica announces that the Planinski dom pri Krnskih jezerih will be open from Saturday, May 30 onwards and reachable at tel. 051 328 928. Welcome!

Mountaineering Association Nova Gorica announces that Dom dr. Klementa Juga in Lepena is closed.
kofram2. 12. 2015
The path from Lepena to Krn Lakes is trodden, are crampons needed?

Thanks
mirank13. 02. 2016
The road to Lepena was nicely passable to the hut - freshly plowed. Despite solid snow cover depth (snow gauge shows 100cm) - new snow up there half a meter, now there is a solid trodden trail to Lepena.
marinka6723. 04. 2017
Greetings! I almost don't dare to ask, given the above comments, but anyway..... The path to Lepena is probably drivable, but what about to the hut? Is it open, or how will it be for the May 1st holidays?
julius23. 04. 2017
In the section:
"news and articles", there is an explanation from PD Nova Gorica that all three huts will be closed for the May 1st holidays. The road to Lepena (700m/nv) is drivable.
brarut23. 04. 2017
We inform you that during the May 1st holidays our stations: Dom dr. Klementa Juga in Lepena, Planinski dom pri Krnskih jezerih and Gomiščkovo zavetišče on Krn due to very bad weather forecast will remain CLOSED. We will reopen them in the season. We will inform you about the exact opening dates. We wish you safe steps.

Thanks everyone, I was superficial.velik nasmeh
Enka31. 07. 2017
On Saturday we went from Lepena and looked for the described fork at the start of the route... in vain. Apparently the steep path hasn't existed for years and there's only one path?
ljubitelj gora31. 07. 2017
There is a shorter one.
Lunatic2. 08. 2017
You can't miss the left one...
Enka2. 08. 2017
Well, given that based on this description we expected a marked junction, we really weren't paying attention to any "hidden" paths. There is no marked junction for the left and right path. However, later on the path we several times came across a path branching onto or off our path, but all junctions were deliberately blocked with thinner logs and branches, so we concluded that it concerns path(s) that are no longer used.
Lunatic2. 08. 2017
There is no real junction...
Enka2. 08. 2017
Yes, next time we will look for it thennasmeh
miri2. 08. 2017
Just nicely along the marked path. You gain nothing in time. So why would you?

Is it possible to reach Dom pri Krnskih jezerih by car?
_sandra_21. 08. 2024 11:29:10
@NEIC008: Are you joking or seriously asking?eek
Janez Seliškar21. 08. 2024 11:39:06
NEIC008, you're about 110 years too late, and even then only with a motorcycle or mule.
