Jezersko is a serene alpine basin located in the northernmost part of Slovenia, surrounded by the high peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Its name derives from a vast glacial lake that once filled the valley, now symbolized by the characterful, heart-shaped Planšar Lake. Jezersko is esteemed as the cradle of Slovenian mountaineering and is a member of the International Mountaineering Villages association, focusing on sustainable tourism. The area is famous for its carbonated mineral water, 'Jezerska slatina,' which has the highest magnesium content in Slovenia. Key cultural sights include the 16th-century Jenkova Kaserne museum and the historic Church of St. Oswald. Whether for high-altitude climbing to Grintovec or peaceful walks through Jezersko's meadows, it provides an authentic alpine escape.
