Lake Bohinj

Nestled at the foot of the Bohinj Valley in the Julian Alps sits Lake Bohinj. Although many people come to relax and admire the picturesque scenery, Lake Bohinj is really an outdoor lover’s paradise. You can rent stand up paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes, which allow you to make the most of your visit.

There’s also a flat trail that circles the perimeter of the lake. On a nice day, there’s nothing more relaxing than going for a walk and basking in the sun while it’s reflecting off the lake’s surface.

Vrsic Pass

Driving along the Vrsic Pass is the ultimate road trip adventure in Slovenia. At over 5,000 feet above sea level, this winding road is considered to be the highest pass in the entire country. Besides navigating the hairpin turns, you’ll also have the chance to see a few landmarks along the way, including the Russian POW chapel and the bronze statue of Julius Kugy.

Vrsic Pass is also an ideal destination for hiking. There are dozens of peaks and trails to climb, as well as a few lodges and hotels to spend the night after a long day.

Lake Jasna

Lake Jasna is one of Slovenia’s most beloved gems. The sparkling green and blue water is surrounded by tree-covered hills and lush valleys. Peaking above the lake in the background are the snow-covered Slovenian Alps, which add to the already breathtaking scenery.

There are plenty of activities to keep you occupied during your visit to the lake. You can rent canoes, go for a swim, or even dive off the wooden diving board. But be careful because the water can be quite icy, even on a hot day.

Tolmin Gorge Trail

Get a breath of fresh air and explore the stunning landscape with a trek down the Tolmin Gorge Trail. Located on the south end of the Triglav National Park, the Tolmin Gorge Trail is a leisurely 1.2-mile walk through lush canyons, dark tunnels, flowing rivers, and moss-covered rock formations.

As you walk through the gorge, you’ll cross over several wooden suspension bridges that offer sweeping views over the Tolminka and Zadlascica Rivers. At the end of the trail is the infamous Bear’s Head viewpoint, which is a small boulder that has become wedged between two of the rocky cliffs.
