Description

Lake Bohinj, the largest natural permanent lake in the Triglav National Park and in Slovenia, is of tectonic origin. The canyon in which it lies was formed by the Bohinj glacier. The main tributary of the lake is the Savica, which collects water in the Triglav Lakes Valley. The lake changes water three times a year. The outlet of the lake is called Jezernica and is one of the shortest rivers in Slovenia. After its confluence with the Mostnica River, it is renamed the Sava Bohinjka.

Description

The Panhandle Trail offers the most direct and scenic route for self-propelled travel between Oakdale (Allegheny County) and Colliers, West Virginia with the majority of the trail's length spanning Northern Washington County. Although the trail follows an old railroad grade through the hilly terrain, there was only so much the railroad builders could do to flatten the route. Expect a steady climb to the town of Midway, the high point on the rural journey.
