Walking in Slovenia: Lake Bohinj & the Julian Alps – 8 Days
Seven nights by Lake Bohinj, walking in Triglav National Park.
Tour overview
This 8-day trip is based for seven nights at a hotel by Lake Bohinj, in the heart of Triglav National Park, with a tour leader and a group of up to sixteen. Breakfast is included daily, with four dinners, so you can unpack once and walk each day.
Walks take you round the shores of Lake Bohinj and up to the Savica waterfall, through the Vintgar Gorge to Lake Bled, and across the Pokljuka plateau with its forests and shepherds' huts.

Higher routes climb to alpine pastures and viewpoints over the Julian Alps, with a chance to try local cheeses at a mountain dairy, and there is time to swim in the lake or rest.
The physical rating is medium. This trip suits walkers who like mountain scenery without changing hotels.
