DESTINATIONS OF JULIAN ALPS COMMUNITY
BOHINJ
Bohinj is a remarkable place, imbued with an ancient memory that exists in the minds of the locals, perhaps the majority of Slovenians. Although faced with trade-offs between modern challenges and the inherited preserved nature, we have proudly accepted the long-term challenge of preserving Bohinj’s cultural identity.
Our lake has not been built over and turned into a monotonous resort. It is an essential part of the unique Triglav National Park and UNESCO-MAB site. To preserve all this, we need the understanding of locals and visitors alike. Explore. Respect. Enjoy it responsibly.
BLED
It takes just 30 minutes by bus from Bohinjska Bistrica to Bled, and just 20 minutes by train.
Take a walk around the lake, visit the Bled Castle and the Triglav National Park Information Centre. Take a pletna to the island, visit Straža or the Ojstrica viewpoint and enjoy the famous ”kremšnita” Bled cream cake.
Bled is also an excellent base for exploring other parts of the Julian Alps.
