Measuring over 4km long, Bohinj is the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. Because it’s inside Triglav National Park, it has been
spared the development which has affected Bled, so there’s no town on its shores; instead, there are small villages nearby and there’s a road connecting its two ends, Ribcev laz and Ukanc, where you’ll find a range of accommodations. Visible on the local flag, the Church of St. John the Baptist, at the head of the lake, near Hotel Jezero, is Bohinj’s best-known man-made attraction, mostly built in 1520 and renowned for its interior frescoes. For heart-stopping views of Bohinj and the Julian Alps, take the cable car up Mount Vogel, or head for the Vodnikov razglednik viewpoint. Bohinj’s Tourist Association can suggest walks to bring you closer to the lake’s
many charms. From Ukanc, you can hike to Savica Falls, the best-known of Slovenia’s 260 waterfalls.
