The only national park in Slovenia is known primarily for its Triglav Peak, the symbol of the entire state, which gave the name to the park. However, the real treasure of Triglav is considered the famous Triglav Lakes. They attract hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world.
Lake Bled gets the most attention thanks to a small island with an ancient church and a bell of wishes. Each tourist, waiting for the fulfillment of the most cherished desires, goes to this place, forgetting about the most picturesque lake of Triglav Park, Bohinj.
The "soulful" Lake Bohinj, as the locals call it, is located just 26 kilometers from Lake Bled and is the largest lake in Slovenia. Surrounded by first-class ski resorts, including the popular European resorts of Soriska Planina, Kobla, and Vogel, the wonderful glacial lake is about a kilometer wide and stretches for 4 kilometers at an altitude of more than 500 meters above sea level. The warm waters of Lake Bohinj attract lovers of active summer holidays, and the gentle slopes of the sandy beach make it an ideal place for families with babies. Besides, this place has long been chosen by lovers of lake fishing since its waters are full of different types of fish and shellfish, including trout and burbot, chub, and even Arctic char.
While enjoying the beautiful nature, picturesque mountain landscapes, and gentle waters of the lake, do not forget to stroll around the surroundings. Be sure to visit the friendly farmers who are happy to share their rich culture and ancient rural traditions, as well as treat you to the legendary Bohinj cheese. The most popular village is Ribcev Laz. It comprises an ancient church dating back to the 11th century and many medieval huts. But if you are looking for solitude, peace, and tranquility, head to the small villages of Stara Fuzina and Ukanс.
