Lake Bohinj

The relatively undiscovered Julian Alps (think Dolomites without the crowds) fills north-west Solvenia, offering superb Alpine walking, with outstanding natural beauty and spectacular views. The area's favourable climate and plentiful rainfall support a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Beautiful Lake Bohinj, Slovenia's largest, sits in a superb glacially gouged trough, beneath huge cliffs to its north and west end, and is an excellent walking base, with fine walks in every direction. All tastes are catered for, from a tour of the lake and other lower-level saunters (including around the lake and to Slap Savica waterfall), to low peaks to high ridge traverses and summit assaults, including the easiest ascent of great Triglav.

The Triglav Lakes Valley to the north is also unmissable, as the Lower Bohinj Ridge.

You can ascend Triglav from the Bohinj area, on what is thought to be the easiest (ie least taxing) route. This is a 2-long-day walk with a night at the Dom Planika. Glorious.
