Introducing Bohinj
Bohinj, a larger and much less developed glacial lake 26km to the southwest, is a wonderful place to chill out after experiencing the tourist hordes at Bled in season. OK, it doesn’t have a romantic little island or a castle looming high on a rocky cliff. But it does have Triglav itself visible from the lake when the weather clears, and it lies entirely within the borders of Triglav National Park and has a wonderful naturalness that doesn’t exist at Bled. The Bohinj area’s handful of museums and historical churches will keep culture vultures busy during their visit, and for action types there are activities galore – from kayaking and mountain biking to scaling Triglav via one of the southern approaches.
