The most beautiful natural sites to discover Bohinj

In the summer, people flock to its banks for swimming, canoeing, sunbathing and views of the peaks. In winter, the landscape is an invitation to contemplate the view of Slovenia's highest peaks. This glacial lake, fed by the Savica River, is the largest of natural origin. It covers an area of 3.5 km² and its depth reaches 45 m. There are many aquatic species, including the famous trout. Fishing is allowed but regulated.

The place is experiencing a reasoned tourist surge. We discover the Hudičev Most, "le pont du Diable", the gorges and their large boulders polished by the runoff of water creating a succession of small waterfalls. A trip full of freshness and lightness. The path continues to a mountain refuge. The conquerors will attempt the adventure of the Triglav. The site is worth the trip and it is also possible to explore it as part of a canyoning activity.

A few kilometres from Bohinjska Bistrica there is a picturesque waterfall on a farm. After a short and pleasant walk along the meadows, it will appear to you, fabulous and full of water after heavy rains. This is one of the two most popular places for canyoning (the other being Jerečica) with daily sessions in high season. We'll appreciate the fact that we can get up close and personal with it, so volunteers for an invigorating ice bath are advised!

You're limited on the day's program and you're looking for a beautiful viewpoint for a postcard photo rendering, accessible even with children: direction Peč! A short but intense hike, well known to locals for a cardio workout or simply to revel in a breathtaking view of the lake and valley, allow around 20 minutes from Stara Fuzina. Up there, at an altitude of 720 m, there's a bench where you can take a break and contemplate the spectacular panorama over Bohinj. The perfect spot for a sandwich break!

The Bistrica stream, which gushes across the plain like a magnificent spring composed of two waterfalls, is the most powerful tributary of the Sava Bohinjka. The waterfalls dry up during the dry season, but when they're active, you'll be amazed. After passing the municipal waste disposal site on your right and following the signposts, you'll find the superb, wide Izvir Bistrice waterfall, just over an hour's easy walk away and without too many gradients.
