Krma

Krma is an alpine valley in the Julian Alps in the Upper Carniola region of northwestern Slovenia.

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] Krma is the longest and easternmost of the glacial valleys near Mojstrana.

Approximately two-thirds of the way up the valley is the Kovinar alpine lodge (elevation: 892 meters or 2,927 feet) with 15 berths, a popular stopping point for hikers.
