Lake Bohinj is a large lake and not developed like Lake Bled. More unspoilt and the views from the water fall at the far end of the lake are superb. More restful and a pleasant day walking from the settlement at one end to the waterfall at the other. Buses there from Bled are fairly regular and this is not... More

Whether you´re an experienced open water swimmer or simply want something different from your adventure trip, the best multi-day experience at Slovenian lakes, waterfalls and national park Its all so close and peaceful. This guided swimming tour made me thinking of all previous non-active holidays spend and I decided to try at least one more- this time in Croatia- Dalmatia.

We just returned from a week skiing in Vogel, staying at Ribcev Laz on Lake Bohinj. It is a nature lover's paradise, so quiet and beautiful, surrounded by snow covered mountains. If you like night life and touristy stuff, this is not the place for you. But if you like peace, tranquility, lovely people and fresh mountain air in an... More

We stayed in Bled and had a day on lake Bohinj. Bohinj is less developed than Bled - this has good and bad sides. The bad is that it's probably not that exciting to stay in and there aren't as many places to eat. Also we walked along the entire north shore of the lake (probably about 6 or 7... More

Beautiful lake to walk around and enjoy a clear water. Serenity. County does not allow private developments around the lake so it is pure and beautiful.

Lake Bohinj is truly beautiful and has loads of things to do. The lake is set in the Julian Alps which rise up all around it and the terrain affords you opportunities for climbing, hiking, sailing, or just strolling around and feeding the ducks. Bohinj is much more tranquil than Lake Bled its neighbor so if you are looking for... More

Following my review of the Bohinj Park Hotel during our stay in Slovenia, i must also add a little something about Lake Bohinj which truly is something extraordinary. It is very peaceful setting and loads to do - walking and short bike tours are a must for every visitor! Water is crystal clear and being surrounded by mountains and pine... More

Reading the other reviews should give you more than a feel for this astonishingly beautiful place. But there are big changes on the way in the coming years as some of the older (and newer) hotels are being redeveloped. Sounds great ..... but they are being developed for the luxury market. I spoke to the area manager who has responsibilty... More
