Bohinj: a real treasure trove

Bohinj – the kingdom of the legendary Goldhorn

Slovenia

With a golden glow, the rock formations of the Triglav mountains reach towards the sunlight and are reflected in the aquamarine water of Lake Bohinj. You stand silent and awed in the face of this colour-rich natural scenery. Delighted by the knowledge that you also belong to this natural treasure trove.

Worthwhile.

A holiday in Bohinj.

“Bohinj is too beautiful for murder,” enthused Agatha Christie, the best-selling novelist of all time. And quite rightly: Bohinj, the heavenly valley amidst the Julian Alps, is a real treasure trove full of natural wonders. Right at the heart: emerald-green Lake Bohinj, in whose crystal-clear water the beauty of this unique terrain is reflected. Charming pastures, dense forests, mighty peaks, peaceful lakes, and rustic villages characterise Triglav National Park. Here, in one of the oldest national parks in Europe, past, present, and future melt together into one vision. A vision that puts preserving nature in all its glory in the spotlight. A vision that accompanies you at every turn during your experiences. And experiences galore await you in Bohinj, the kingdom of the Goldhorn, which shows you the way to a wonder-worthy natural treasure. A treasure that is immeasurable, but not inexhaustible. That’s why the local people protect and preserve it with various environmental programmes and an eco-mobility concept. Find inner riches. Discover Bohinj.

Aquatic adventures

Dive into the clear water of Lake Bohinj. A sense of peace fills you. The 10,000-year-old glacial lake is a popular bathing lake surrounded by secluded pebbly bays and tempts you to enjoy a rich variety of aquatic adventures. Glide slowly over the water in a canoe, languidly cast out your line while fishing, or cruise unhurriedly towards the end of the lake in an electric boat on a panoramic tour. From there, a 1.5-hour walk leads you to one of Slovenia’s loveliest waterfalls: Savica waterfall. More than 500 steps take you to this natural wonder hidden amidst the steep rock faces of Mt Komarča. Even more exciting experiences await you while rafting, kayaking, or canyoning.

Mountain adventures

You’re greeted with a welcoming “Bohdej!”. The hut landlady shows you to your table and recommends the dish of the day, prepared with fresh regional ingredients. You’re captivated by the panorama. The lush-green meadow with its delicate flowers and pillow-soft grass. The emerald-green lake in the valley and the mountain peaks in the background that beckon you to enjoy more adventures. Bohinj is a paradise for hikers and mountaineers. More than 300 kilometres of hiking trails lead through the kingdom of the Goldhorn, the home of ibex and edelweiss, and carry you to pastures, mountain huts, Alpine lakes, and up to the heights. Up Mt Triglav, for example, Slovenia’s highest mountain. It’s three-coned silhouette adorns the country’s flag and 50-cent coin. There’s an unwritten rule that each Slovene has to have scaled Mt Triglav at least once in their life. Ideally with a mountain guide, as the climb is secured with cables. The ascent up Mt Vogel is more leisurely. Floating over beech forests, a lift ride of just four minutes carries you up to the top, from where you can enjoy one of the most stunning views of the lake.

Summer adventures

Varied, exciting, fun – that’s a summer holiday in Bohinj in a nutshell. Pedal by pedal, you discover the wealth of natural and cultural treasures of Bohinj while cycling. The network of routes includes level cycle paths as well as challenging mountain bike tours. You’ll find the right bike for you at one of the bike rental stations, where e-bikes are also available. Do you want to enjoy a bird’s eye view of Bohinj? Then we recommend a tandem paragliding flight. Close enough to touch the sky, you’ll enjoy a different perspective of the area, where nature’s most beautiful colours melt together to create an artistic masterpiece.

Winter adventures

When teeming flurries of snowflakes cover the national park in a thick white blanket, the sheet of ice on the lake grows thicker day by day, and the fresh scent of snow tickles your nose, winter elation fills the air. In Bohinj, you can experience winters like in the good old days. In perfect peace. In the small but superb ski areas, you can merrily weave your way down the wide, almost people-free slopes. On Pokljuka plateau, you’ll also find a cross-country skiing and biathlon centre, idyllic winter hiking trails, toboggan runs, and winter rafting. If you’re seeking mountain solitude, strap your skins to your skis and scale secluded mountain summits. Options range from easy ski tours up the peaks around Pokljuka and Komna plateau to challenging tours up Mt Rodica.
