The quiet town of Bohinj is a favorite destination for winter amateurs, with its ample opportunities for skiing, snowboarding, ice climbing, and ice skating. Located in the Julian Alps, stunning views are abound, and the natural attractions are the valley's biggest appeal.
In the summer, swimming, rafting, rock-climbing, hiking, fishing, and horseback-riding are the primary forms of entertainment, along with a thrilling opportunity for cave exploration.
Bohinj also offers the occasion to pamper yourself: its health and wellness spas are considered to be some of the best in Slovenia, and after a long day of physical exertion, relaxation will be well deserved.

Doing what: Bled and Bohinj Valley Tour from Ljubljana
We loved the trip! How great to have a small group of only 6 people. The guide was very good and gave us answers to all our questions. The two lakes are very lovely. There was lots to do including a boat trip on Lake Bled, walks on the island and up to the castle. One should be told ahead that the walk to the falls at Bohinj was a bit long but one could certainly opt out of going all the way. We were impressed with the scenery, the tour guide and especially the fact that the group was small. Felt like we were on our own private trip but didn't have to do the driving, parking and were told all about each site. Manh thanks for a great day!

Excellent day trip with a very good guide. We had a small group of 5 adults and 2 children making the tour much more personal. Lake Bled is stunning and matches up to the postcard photos. The boat trip to the island in the lake, the church on the island, the castle and the other points of interest in Bled were all memorable. The waterfall at Bohinj and Lake Bohinj were great, too. A long day, but a very good day tour from Ljubljana.
