Planina Lopučnica

Description of mountain pasture:
Lopučnica is a mountain pasture situated below the Zgornje Komne plateau and above Lopučniška dolina near the Triglav Lakes. Planina Lopučnica is among the coldest mountain pastures in Slovenia, as temperatures often drop below -30 degrees Celsius on clear winter nights. The reason cold descends on this pasture is as follows: it is surrounded by high mountains from which cold air, heavier than warm air, flows downward. As the lowest point nearby, cold air accumulates on the pasture. On windy days, the difference is less obvious or nonexistent. It is also interesting that only grass grows at the bottom of the pasture, dwarf pines higher up, and other trees even higher. From the pasture there is a nice view of the surrounding peaks, which rarely receive visitors.
