Lake Kreda
The lake got its name from the chalk (Slovene: kreda) that was mined in the area until 1985.The digging also created a basin, which gradually filled with water and the lake appeared.The mining ceased because it was unprofitable and due to conservation concerns (the area is within Triglav National Park), but the lake remained and is now occasionally used as a recreation site.Today, the lake and its surrounding wetlands are an important habitat for amphibians, such as the common frog and the common toad in the Radovna Valley.This Slovenian geography article is a stub.
