Day Tour of Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled
After breakfast, drive to Bohinj, located in the heart of the Julian Alps within Triglav National Park. Lake Bohinj, Slovenia’s largest permanent lake, covers over 300 hectares and is surrounded by alpine scenery. While there, take the Vogel cable car, which climbs to 1,535 meters above sea level. The ride offers wide views of the surrounding mountains and is a practical way to reach higher elevations without a strenuous hike. In the afternoon, continue to Bled for a guided tour of this well-known lakeside town. Lake Bled is home to the only natural island in Slovenia and has long been appreciated for its setting and peaceful surroundings. A traditional “pletna” boat ride provides access to the island, where a small church stands. Nearby, Bled Castle sits high above the lake, offering views across the water and into the surrounding countryside. Both Bohinj and Bled are popular with visitors interested in nature and alpine landscapes, and they offer a more relaxed pace compared to larger cities. The rest of the day is free to enjoy the area at your own rhythm, before you return to your hotel in Ljubljana.
