Holidays to Bohinj put you in the heart of Slovenia's only national park, with easy access to surrounding mountains and villages.

Good reason to gloat

Slovenia's Bohinj region's only an hour's drive from the capital, Ljubljana, and within a half-hour's drive of famously picturesque Bled. It also happens to be home to the largest natural body of water in the country – a blue-green expanse that perfectly mirrors the surrounding beauty of hillsides and pines.

An explorer's dream

Make sure to get your eight hours, because there's plenty to see and do. Check out Savica Waterfall's impressive 70+ metre drop, visit Ribčev Laz's 15th-century church or ride the Vogel cable car up to staggering heights. If you're up for the four-hour round-trip walk, the Mostnica Gorge plunge pools are a once-in-a-lifetime kind of deal.

Slovenia at any pace

Whether you're in it for the action or just the holiday snaps, Bohinj won't disappoint. The country roads alone are a sight to behold. Zip from A to B to find your favourite mountain view, or simply kick back at one of the many lakeside villages and marvel at Mother Nature's work.
