Bohinj Highlights

Bohinj Essentials

Slovenia’s largest glacial lake serves as the centerpiece of this Alpine region within Triglav National Park. The selection includes the 78-meter Savica Waterfall, the limestone-carved Mostnica Gorge, and the high-altitude Triglav Lakes Valley. Cultural landmarks like the 14th-century Church of St. John the Baptist and the Alpine Dairy Museum highlight the area's history of transhumant herding. A cable car provides access to the Vogel plateau, offering views of Mount Triglav, the country's highest peak at 2,864 meters.
