Triglav National Park is one of the most im¬portant natural treasures of Slovenia. It is named after the sym¬bolic mountain Triglav (2,864 m) and is one of the oldest parks in Europe. The first protec¬tion attempts date back to the year 1906. Thepark covers nearly 84,000 hectares, almost the entire territory of the eastern Julian Alps. The Triglav National Park (TNP) is the only Slovenian national park. The management of the Triglav National Park is the responsability of the Triglav national Park Public Institution, based in Bled. The national park is a model example of successful harmonisation of different interests focused on a common goal: well-preserved nature, landscape and cultural heritage. The values of a national park are a motive and an attractive goal for visitors who respect the exceptional nature and cultural heritage as well as the peace and quiet of the area.
As a nature lover, Triglav Park was on my activities list during my trip in Slovenia. The park is in the Julian Alps, therefore offers the typical beautiful alpine landscape :) There are different paths and you can find information on the official website and at the "ticket office" at the entrance. My friend and I are quite active and we chose a medium path, which was actually very easy, on the way up, we hiked along a small stream, arriving at a waterfall. We had a packed lunch with us, and on the way back, we stopped for a drink in a typical place, which really added to the visit. The park is very well looked after. Nature and photography lovers are going to love this place :)

There are two big waterfalls, one over another. The path is good and easy, I recommend trainers. One of the waterfall has a path all around it, which is fantastic that you can stand under the stone and the waterfall falls down.

Climb the peak above Bled which will enthuse you with their magnificent views. Climbing the Mala Osojnica (685 metres) will take about 45 minutes along a steep forest path. The most beautiful views of Lake Bled and its surroundings, the Karavanke, Kamniško-Savinjske Alpe mountain ranges and the Ljubljana basin await you.
It is a beautiful hike, and so picturesque. I walked early in the morning and it was very refreshing

Check our activities that you can carry out in Planica, and spend some quality time in a wonderful valley under the Ponce! Ready to fly over the jumping hill and turn into real-life eagles? Planica represents a synonim for courage, innovation and development. With more than 40 world records, it has become a popular tourist attraction. Take a walk down memory lane of 80 years of world-class achievements!
For the whole family, it was a unique experience in a breathtaking Alpine environment. Very kind and professional approach, which makes you feel safe. The attraction is exciting and unusual but not at all risky. Our only regrets are that we did not book at least two rides per person so that we could enjoy it better and that we did not plan to stay a couple of hours more to explore the surroundings. The impressive ski-jump complex (there are 8 ski jumps) is worth a visit even without any other activity. There are enough parking places, where you can park for the whole day for € 2.5.

The climb to Ojstrica takes about 20 minutes, it is short but steep, and will award you with an exceptional view from the top. There is a bench at the top, offering a romantic panoramic view of Lake Bled. You can see Straža and the steep castle cliff, Stol mountain, Savska raven plain and the long ridge of the west Karavanke mountain range. You can also see the peaks of Vrtača, Begunjščica, Dobrča and many others.
Easy access from the main road, a small climb that anyone can master, a beautiful view of Lake Bled and the surrounding area.

It's not that impressive from the outside (after seeing all the wonderful churches in Europe you tend to be too hard-to-please!) But once you step through the massive bronze doors (recent additions from Pope John Paul II's visit in 1992). Wondrous frescoes and artwork welcome you - Pink marble and frescoes by the Italian Baroque master Giulio Quaglio glow inside Ljubljana’s St. Nicholas Cathedral. It is a crime not to see this stunningly gorgeous church when you are in Ljubljana. And admission is free!

The main bridge in Ljubljana that every tourist must visit as it connects two main squares between the old and new town. It is also the widest pedestrian bridge across the river due to its name and due to its status, it is always crowded with people. Gives you a good view of the river and the different attractions, and is usually quite festive. Really enjoyed the atmosphere here.

Discover the magic of the lake that attracts travellers from near and far. The current unique shape of the year did not emerge coincidentally. A tectonic hole made by the Bohinj glacier through the years, was once at the location of the present lake. Its path was obstructed by a huge rock which was so persistently scraped that the only thing that remained was the present island. The ice melted and the basin was filled with water, thus Lake Bled emerged, which is in some places up to 30 metres deep and quite popular amongst divers. 19 species of fish live in the lake, including carp, sheatfish and lake trout. Ducks and swans as well as diverse plants also swim and thrive on its surface.
This place is stunning, you can spend a good time there, rent some bycicles, swim, have a picnic, rent a boat, do hiking, etc. It’s a beautiful place!

Guest of Tourism Bohinj partner providers can buy BOHINJ MOBILITY CARD to enjoy free public transport, free parking, free admissions and a lot of attractive discounts in Bohinj and elsewhere. PLEASE NOTE: parking in Bohinj is permitted only on designated parking areas (marked as official car parks) - this way you avoid any distress by getting a parking ticket.
Very picturesque lake so still - great pics with sun out- got bus from Bled to Ribcev Lazto - walked to Ukanc - choice there to get cable car (20euro) to MT Vogel or walk on to see Slap Savica Waterfall. Not much snow so walked to waterfall - bit disappointing as not much water flow despite being early Feb - a long walk but at least there was a bar at falls - walked back on other side of lake the views not as good - care to be taken on footpath - lots of fallen trees - 22km walk but worth it
