Route description
The walk begins at St. John's Church and continues left on the walking path along the lake and across the Fužinsko polje field, where we can find the Marguerite (Leucanthemum vulgare) and Field Scabious (Knautia arvensis). At the turn to Stara Fužina village we continue along the lake coast, where we can enjoy the beautiful view of the southern part of the Julian Alps. We then pass the fish farm and walk under the Govic waterfall (which flows only at strong rainfalls). In the forest screes under the Pršivec mountain we can find Hop Hornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia), Ash Tree (Fraxinus ornus), Twiggy Broom (Genista radiata), Sternberg's Pink (Dianthus sternbergii) and Knapweed (Centaurea pannonica). We then continue over the dry corrugated meadows of Ukanc village, where Wild Orchids (Orchidaceae) grow. We visit the only swamp area along the lake, where the Savica river flows into the lake and where we can find Sedges (Carex), white Wood Rush (Luzule) and Star Thistle (Lunaria rediviva). The route leads us across the bridge over the Savica river towards the Zlatorog hotel, where we stop for a short rest. We then continue towards the Zlatorog campsite and board the boat that takes us back to Ribčev Laz village.
