Route description
The walk starts at St. John's Church and continues pass the "Pod Skalco" event place, along the hunting route which runs above the main road, through the forests along the south side of the lake, towards the lower cable car station of Vogel ski centre. The route leads us through the beech forest with poor undergrowth. Here we can find the Three-leaved Windflower (Anemone trifolia), Christmas Rose (Helleborus niger), Liverleaf (Hepatica nobilis), Hacquetia (Hacquetia epipactis) and Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis). There are also many torrents here; the last one is especially interesting. Before we walk to the lower cable car station, we can find the Hairy Rhododendron (Rhododendron hirsutum) and Colt's Foot (Homogyne discolour). We continue along the WWI military cemetery towards the Zlatorog Hotel, where we stop for a short refreshment. Then we continue towards the Savica waterfall. Along the route we make a stop on the meadow, which is full of rare plants – some of them can be found only at this place, namely the Siberian Iris (Iris sibirica). After the view of the mighty Savica waterfall, we return to Zlatorog campsite and ride on the boat to Ribčev Laz village.
