Lake Kreda — Attraction in Gorje

A Jewel in the Heart of Slovenia Nestled in the pristine Triglav National Park, Lake Kreda stands as a testament to Slovenia's natural splendor. This small, yet captivating, artificial lake holds a unique charm, its emerald-green waters mirroring the majestic peaks of the Julian Alps. While its origins lie in a former clay quarry, its transformation into a tranquil haven is a beautiful example of nature reclaiming and repurposing the land.

Kreda je majhno umetno jezero v Dolini reke Radovne na severozahodu Slovenije. Jezero je dobilo svoje ime po kredi, ki so jo tam kopali do leta 1985. Med kopanjem se je ustvarila vdolbina, ki se je počasi napolnila z vodo in nastalo je jezero. Izkopavanje se je končalo zaradi nedobičkonosnosti in naravovarstvenih skrbi (jezero je v Triglavskem narodnem parku), jezero pa je ostalo. Trenutno je območje jezera v zasebni lasti, mnogi obiskovalci doline se v poletnih mesecih v njem kopajo. Zaradi kopanja gline pa sta obala in dno jezera z njo prekrita. Zaradi tega se obala počasi vdira v vodo. Do 50cm letno. Poleg tega je jezero zelo motno. To je tudi razlog za številne poškodbe ob skokih v vodo z obale in bližnjih dreves, saj iz tam ni mogoče videti kaj je pod vodo. Ta je namreč tako motna da dno vidimo samo prve pol metra. Tako je že več ljudi pri skoku z glavo zadelo v dno, korenine ali hlode ki se nahajajo pod gladino in jih ni moč videti. Tudi če bi prišlo do utopitve na primer, reševalci ponesrečenca ne bi mogli najti saj je jezero izredno globoko, vidljivost pa je enaka nič. Pozimi jezero zamrzne, zato je na njem moč drsati. Uredijo tudi precej osnovno hokejsko igrišče ki je dostopno komurkoli. Prav tako je tudi odličen kraj za postanek če se odločite za kolesarjenje po dolini radovne. Danes je jezero — z obdajajočimi mokrišči — pomemben življenjski prostor za dvoživke, kot so navadna žaba in navadna krastača v Dolini reke Radovne. V jezeru pa bivajo tudi...
