Not only is Ljubljana a magnificent city and hugely popular with foreign tourist for short breaks, but its central location makes it super-easy for those wishing to explore other parts of the country, even if time is limited. In just a few short hours and by any method of transport visitors can enjoy a day trip further afield to discover some fascinating places of interest that would otherwise remain unseen.
 
Lake Bohinj is the largest lake in Slovenia and is part of Triglav National Park. Its size of 4.2 km long by 1 km wide means there’s a huge range of activities to enjoy in, around - and even above - this beautiful area. Whether you enjoy adrenaline sports or seek peace and tranquility this region is a must see for visitors looking to explore Slovenia. At just 80km from Ljubljana Bohinj can easily be visited in a day, but with so much to see and do we’d highly recommend allowing more time to fully appreciate all the wonderful sights and activities.

Swimming is permitted and you’ll find many beach areas around the edge making it a perfect choice for picnics.
