Matk Cirque

The Matk Cirque lies in the upper catchment area of the Savinja River[2] in the Kamnik–Savinja Alps of Slovenia.

The valley is about 6 kilometers (3.7 mi) long and has the most characteristic glacial features in its upper half.

The valley floor is filled by gravel carried by flashy streams and glacial moraines.

At the head of the Matk Cirque is a cliff known as Hudi prask (1,500 meters or 4,900 feet), below which is a snowfield named Škaf (literally, 'basket, tub'), a natural monument.

The valley itself is named after the Matk farm (in standard Slovene Matek),[3] which stands at 1,170 meters (3,840 ft).
