Explore the vibrant blooming meadows where the natural diversity and unique beauty of Bohinj come together. This walk through wetlands, alpine meadows, and forest paths offers an insight into the region’s rich flora, featuring numerous rare and protected plant species, including various orchids and irises.
The tour begins at the parking lot behind the Joža Ažman Cultural Center in Bohinjska Bistrica, where free transport to the starting point and back will be provided.
Our first stop is a wetland area, home to marsh plants such as the common butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris), broad-leaved cotton grass (Eriophorum latifolium), and early marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza incarnata). The route continues to Kobla 1 ski slope, where we will encounter eight different orchid species, including the military orchid (Orchis militaris), globular orchid (Traunsteinera globosa), and fragrant orchid (Gymnadenia conopsea). Along the way, we will also observe the grass-leaved iris (Iris graminea) and other fascinating plants.
The path then leads us along a cart track by the Kobla 2 ski slope, passing rare species such as whorled Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum verticillatum) and cross gentian (Gentiana cruciata). At our first viewpoint stop, we will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Bohinj and the surrounding mountains. The tour continues towards the former Janez Mencinger mountain hut, where we will explore forest vegetation and encounter the last orchid species of the day, the bird’s-nest orchid (Neottia nidus-avis).
The return to the valley follows a forest road, where we will observe perennial honesty (Lunaria rediviva), nettle-leaved speedwell (Veronica urticifolia), and other unique plant species.
