Krma
Krma is an alpine valley in the Julian Alps in the Upper Carniola region of northwestern Slovenia. The entire valley lies in Triglav National Park.
Name
The name Krma is of uncertain origin, possibly derived from a substrate root such as *karma or *garma, which may be preserved in Istrian Romance karma 'rock crevice'; it is less likely to be related to Albanian karmë 'rocky hill'. It cannot be excluded that the name may also be connected with the Slovene common noun krma 'fodder' because of historical pasturing activity in the valley.[1]
Geography
Krma is the longest and easternmost of the glacial valleys near Mojstrana. It is the starting point for many routes through Triglav National Park. The lower northern end of the Krma Valley intersects with the upper western end of the Radovna Valley.
Approximately two-thirds of the way up the valley is the Kovinar
The following peaks surround Krma: toward the southeast Debela peč (elevation: 2,014 meters or 6,608 feet), Lipanski vrh (1,965 meters or 6,447 feet), Debeli vrh (1,962 meters or 6,437 feet), Mali Draški vrh (2,132 meters or 6,995 feet), Veliki Draški vrh (2,243 meters or 7,359 feet), and
