Lake Bohinj – The Hidden Alpine Gem You can’t miss

 

If you’ve ever searched for the most beautiful places in Slovenia, you’ve probably seen the fairytale images of Lake Bled. But here’s a little secret… Just a short drive away lies Lake Bohinj, an even more peaceful, unspoiled alpine pearl – perfect for anyone seeking real nature, tranquility, and adventure.

Easily accessible yet far from the crowds, Lake Bohinj offers an authentic escape into the heart of the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park. From Privillage Stare – B&B, Villa & Chalet Resort, you’re just a few minutes’ walk from the lakeshore.

Secret Beaches & Romantic Moments

All around the lake, discover peaceful places for swimming, sunbathing, or a lakeside picnic. The western tip, where the Savica River flows into the lake, is especially magical – perfect for romantic strolls or unforgettable proposals.

Top swimming spots: Ribčev Laz, Ukanc, Stara Fužina.
