Nestled in the heart of Triglav National Park, Lake Bohinj is a serene alpine retreat surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. This unspoiled gem is Slovenia’s largest natural lake, offering crystal-clear waters perfect for swimming, kayaking, or paddleboarding. Visitors can take a relaxing boat ride across the lake or stroll along its peaceful shores, which can be explored in about three hours on foot, with plenty of picturesque spots for a break.
The charming Church of St. John the Baptist, with its medieval frescoes, stands near the lake’s edge, adding a touch of history to the stunning natural beauty. Adventurers can hike to nearby Savica Waterfall or take a cable car to Vogel Ski Centre for panoramic views of the Julian Alps. Unlike the bustling Lake Bled, Bohinj exudes tranquillity, making it ideal for those seeking a quieter escape. The area also offers delightful inns, cafés, and local restaurants where you can savour Slovenian specialities amidst the peaceful alpine setting.
