The Radovna Valley

The Radovna Valley (Slovene: Dolina Radovne) is an alpine valley in the Julian Alps in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.

Radovna Creek, created by smaller tributaries from the glacial valleys of the Krma and Kot valleys, flows through it.

It is surrounded by the northern extensions of the Pokljuka Plateau, the foothills of the Triglav range, and the highest peak of the Mežakla Plateau, Jerebikovec (1593 m). It is connected by a road via the Kosmač Pass to the north with nearby Mojstrana and a road leads down the valley towards Bled.

Extensive pastures in the valley are used for cattle. There are also a number of private holiday homes scattered throughout the valley.

The largest settlement in the valley is Zgornja Radovna with one of the oldest traditional farmhouses in Triglav National Park, with the date 1775 engraved on one of its beams and a written document from 1672.
