Bohinj is larger and quieter than Bled and lies inside Triglav National Park. Visitors come for walking, swimming and canoeing in summer and for the Vogel ski area in winter.
The drive: motorway, then the Sava Bohinjka valley
The first part follows the Gorenjska motorway towards Bled. After passing Bled, the road continues up the narrow valley of the Sava Bohinjka river through Bohinjska Bistrica before reaching the eastern end of the lake at Ribčev Laz.
The valley section is a winding two-lane road, which is why the drive takes almost as long as the one to Kranjska Gora despite a similar distance. Road charges are handled by the provider, and the offer shows the total price.
Villages around Lake Bohinj
There is no single resort town. Ribčev Laz, at the eastern tip, has the stone bridge and the church of St John the Baptist by the water. Stara Fužina and other small villages lie a short distance away, and Ukanc is at the western end near the Vogel cable car.
Accommodation is spread out between these places, from lakeside hotels to farm guesthouses. Give the exact address when you book, because the drive from Ribčev Laz to the far end of the lake adds a few minutes.
