Cycle path towards Lake Bohinj

Highlight • Cycleway

On the map, the route from Bled to Slovenia's most beautiful lake looks short – in reality, it's a bit longer. Luckily, there are wonderful cycle paths that offer a welcome change from the busy roads. Here, you glide more than you cycle. 🚴🏻‍♂️

Sava Bohinjka River

Highlight • River

Anything around Lake Bohinj is worth visiting. If you have time, absolutely take the cable-car to Vogel, where, on a clear day, incredible views of Julian Alps await you. But if you have a week or more, and if you brought the necessary clothing, footwear, and other equipment, you may really have a hard time choosing what to do now, and what to leave for next time. While hiking and mountaineering were major activities in the past, biking and MTB is becomming more and more popular lately.

Lake Bohinj, Slovenia
An oasis of peace and unspoiled nature in the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park.
Bohinj is a heavenly valley in the heart of the Julian Alps. Lake Bohinj lies in the heart of Triglav National Park, one of the oldest national parks in Europe. Untouched alpine pastures and mighty peaks rise above Slovenia's largest natural lake.

View of Lake Bohinj

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice lake for swimming, sup-boarding or whatever you feel like doing. There is a lot of sunbathing area available, partly also shady places under trees. But the lake is also very well visited.
