During the Pleistocene, glaciation significantly reshaped the Jezersko region. A previous interpretation of the extent of the glaciations by Lucerna and Meze indicated that two glacier branches merged into a single glacier tongue that slid downhill into the valley. The main aim of this research was to analyse geomorphologic forms in the Jezersko region, with a particular focus on remnants of glaciation. The methods we utilised for interpreting the maximum extent of glaciation involved detailed morphographic analysis of the area and morphostructural analysis of outcrops of glacial deposits. Our results repudiate the previous interpretation of the extent of glaciation, since over the course of systematically mapping traces of glaciation we were unable to verify Lucerna and Meze’s evidence purporting to a glacier of such size. The glaciers in both branches extended to the Jezersko Basin, where the lowest-lying glacial deposits can be found intact. The reach of the two glaciers was not such that they would have merged or stretched further downwards into the basin/valley.
