The Triglav Lakes Valley (Slovene: Dolina Triglavskih jezer) is a rocky hanging valley in the Julian Alps in Slovenia, below the sheer sides of mountains Tičarica and Zelnarica to the southwest of Triglav.

In contrast to common belief there are ten and not seven lakes in the valley. The lowest lying lake is Črno jezero (the Black Lake) at an altitude of 1294 m above sea level - it is positioned above the rocky slope of Komarča. The Alpine Newt (Triturus alpestris lacusnigri, Slovenian: Planinski pupek), endemic to the Alps, lives in it. Below Tičarica (altitude 1676 m) there are two interconnected lakes known as Dvojno jezero (the Double Lake). At the height of 1838 m lies Veliko jezero or Jezero v Ledvici (the Great Lake or Lake at Ledvica). This is the largest and the deepest of these lakes. The highest is Jezero v Podstenju (the Lake at Podstenje), which is located at an altitude of 1993 metres.

Jezero v Ledvici, the Large or Fourth lake is the largest and deepest of the Triglavlakes.
The lakes in the lower part of the Valley of the TriglavLakes formed at the juncture of slaty Jurassic sandstones (easily recognized by the reddish colour) and compacted limestone.
Dvojno jezero is one of the TriglavLakes lying in the mountain pine and larch belt.
Finally, in 1981, a rearrangement was achieved and the park was given a new concept and enlarged to 838 square kilometres the area which it continues to cover to this day.
The park is named after Mt. Triglav (2864 m), a symbol of Slovenia, which is situated almost in the middle of the protected territory.
From it the valleys spread out radial, supplying water to two large river systems which have their sources in the Julian Alps: the Soca river and the Sava river[?], flowing to the Adriatic and Black Sea, respectively.
