[2025 Stara Fuzina Attraction] Travel Guide for Lake Bohinj (Updated Jan)

#closetonature #100waysoftravel #naturebeauty #slovenia #bohinj #lakeday Lake Bohinj, Slovenia’s largest natural lake, offers a perfect escape into nature’s tranquility. During our two-night stay near the lake, we fully immersed ourselves in its serene beauty. The lake’s glassy, mirror-like surface reflected the surrounding mountains, creating a breathtaking backdrop that made every moment feel magical. We spent our days kayaking across the calm waters, soaking in the pristine environment, and hiking around the lush, green trails that circled the lake. The peaceful atmosphere, with the soft sound of water lapping against the shore, provided the perfect retreat from the world, allowing us to truly relax and connect with nature. It was the ideal setting for slowing down and recharging amidst Slovenia’s stunning landscapes.

After visiting Lake Bled and the nearby quaint little town Radovljica (known for beekeeping traditions), we drove for 30 more minutes to reach Lake Bohinj, nestled in the Triglav national park. Compared to Lake Bled, this lake has a more laid-back and local vibe, and also has hot air balloon services. People are also swimming, SUP and kayaking here, but the whole setting is more pure nature because of Triglav, which is the highest mountain in Slovenia (2864m, part of the Juliana Alps). Note this is the only national park in Slovenia. Apart from the lake area, there are canyons, valleys and hiking trails in the national park. Lots of outdoor activity options, you won’t get bored. #slovenia #summervacation ##Lakebohinj
