Useful Information
Lake Bled
The journey will be continued to the largest glacier lake in Slovenia, situated in the region of the Julian Alps mountain range, with the highest Slovene peak (Mt.Triglav) rising above it. After a 15-minute-walk you will reach the source of the Sava Bohinjka River and later have enough time to relax at the side of the peaceful Bohinj Lake.
Don't miss the St.John's church beside the lake adorned with 13th century frescoes. If you are a mountain-view-fanatic, take a ride by cable car up to the Mt Vogel (1600 m (5249 feet) high), and enjoy in beautiful scenery of the mountains and the valley with the lake.

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.
