Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Nestled in the heart of Slovenia, Lake Bohinj is a nature lover's paradise. This expansive glacial lake offers a tranquil setting with its crystal-clear waters mirroring the surrounding mountains. Visitors can partake in various water sports such as swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, and canoeing. For those seeking relaxation, there are boats and paddle boats available for rent or fishing gear to enjoy a leisurely day by the serene waters.
Much quieter than lake bled with regular transport links from bled and Ljubljana. People swim, hire paddleboards etc from here. A few bar/restaurants to choose from. The church you can climb the tower and see the inside for a few euros. It was very pretty inside the tower did have some information. I would say there is more to see in this church than the one on the island in Bled.

Very tranquil, placid, clam, mirror lake with clear see-through waters. Surroundings make photos surrealistic, especially early in the morning with the low hanging clouds and misty layers. Boat rides available. Walk around the whole lake takes about two to three hours depending on speed.

A lake where there is a wonderful energy and you calm down by it. It takes you into meditation. You can also go SUP, boating or just swimming. I really recommend a visit.

Peaceful, natural, and absolutely beautiful! Lake Bohinj is less crowded than Lake Bled but just as stunning—maybe even more for nature lovers. Surrounded by mountains and crystal-clear water, it’s perfect for swimming, kayaking, or just relaxing by the shore. The atmosphere is calm and untouched, great for hiking and enjoying the fresh alpine air. We loved the scenic views and the overall peaceful vibe. A hidden gem in Slovenia! It has plenty of parking and at less cost compared to lake bled. It's bigger and calm.

Campers delight! Just 40 mins from bled- this lake is stunning and located between Julian Alps! We found a nice parking spot towards end of the lake away from commercial area! Water a bit chilly even during 26-27 degrees but very clean!

It's trully magical place! Incredibly beautiful setting. A big hike around the lake is highly recommended.

It is a much larger lake compared to Lake Bled and makes you feel more immersed in nature. I recommend exploring the shores and nearby areas within the Ukanc region. It’s definitely one of the natural beauties that must be seen in Slovenia. Although Bled is more charming, this place is far more magnificent.
Evren B — Google review
What a special place. The mountains rising up to the sky and eventually coming down to the shores of the lake were spectacular. The Chrystal clear water of the lake was so inviting. Have to bring a swimsuit next time I’m here.

Outdoor Activities
Mostnica Gorge is a picturesque wooded valley with riverside hiking trails that pass by waterfalls, pools, and mountain-backed meadows. It's a smaller-scale version of Vintgar Gorge but still offers exceptional beauty. The 12 km round trip hike takes about 3.5 hours, but you can also opt for shorter hikes to enjoy the stunning views.
We would highly recommend this hike through the Mostnica Gorge! Important Tip: Make sure to have cash money on you! At one point along the trail through the gorge, you'll need to pay an entrance fee of €4, and this can only be paid with cash. Don't get caught out – ensure you have small bills or coins, or you'll have to backtrack to an ATM! We parked near Lake Bohinj and started walking towards Stara Fužina. Along the path, you'll find signs directing you towards the gorge. While there is also a parking area closer to the gorge itself, we enjoyed the pleasant walk up through the local streets – the choice is yours! The gorge hike takes you through a beautiful forest, alongside the stunning gorge with its small rapids, all the way up to a charming waterfall. At a few points, the climb can be a little challenging, but overall, we would rate the hike as moderate. The views along the path are absolutely breathtaking, and we were fortunate to find there weren't many other visitors during our visit – just perfect for enjoying nature's tranquility. We enjoyed this hike immensely and highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area!

Beautiful hike to the valley above the gorge. Bring cash for food at the restaurant above, plus there's a cash fee per person for the gorge(although nobody there to collect when we went). Fee parking at the base of the trail, or you could just walk from town. Trail is well maintained and not too steep until you get towards the end (before the big valley). We did not go all the way to the waterfall. It took just over an hour to get to the valley, and 40 mins to get back to our car.
DD H — Google review
Nice walk from this point, takes about 4 hours to reach the waterfall and back, including some breaks. Not every part was as thrilling but overall it's worth it. Don't forget to bring cash for the entrance fee, cards are not accepted. And wear some proper hiking shoes!!

Definitely a must see if you’re in the area! I only hiked to the bridge and took the loop that way, which took about an hour. Super pleasant and easy hike with gorgeous views.

Beautiful walk through the river Mostnica. It is also suitable for families with children. Before entering it is necessary to pay, hotte can be certain two ways, respectively. Make a circuit, it takes 45 minutes. Who goes to the waterfall is the next hour up and hour down.

Wonderful hike along the beautiful gorge! The trails are very natural and you can walk right up to the rocks and the water in some places. Amazing views. Highly recommend this hike to anyone in the area.
Yvie K — Google review
Beautiful! Really worth it. And whilst I felt like the hike to the waterfall was a but longer than I expected it was doable (I don’t think the time indications correspond entirely). The gorge is also stunning. The first part is maybe a bit more tricky as you have to walk over roots, stones, steps etc. Then afterwards its more pastures and clear ways. Going to Mostnica waterfall beyond the gorge is worth it in my opinion as you see such a wide variety of landscapes on this short hike. Bring cash for the entrance ticket (4€ pp) and you can pay for the parking by car. There are some really nice huts/restaurants along the way.
Ellie B — Google review
The time to go around the gorge is listed to be about one and a half hour. But it took us about two hours. The way is very uneven, full of rocks, full of roots, with many small streams flowing through. It’s an obstacle course. Slippery when wet. But worth the sights all along the way, especially the broken-heart shape part of the gorge that seems to symbolize the divide between the two sides.

Mountain cable car
Ski resort
Valley station - Vogel Cable Car offers a breathtaking experience, taking you up to 5,036ft (1,535m) for stunning views of surrounding peaks and Lake Bohinj. The ride provides glimpses of the dramatic Savica Waterfall and access to a ski resort and hiking trails across mountain ridges. Whether boating, biking, hiking or skiing, there are plenty of active pursuits to enjoy.
Vogel Cable Car – the most breathtaking ride in the Julian Alps (May 2, 2025) From the moment the cabin leaves Ukanc and starts climbing above the treetops, you’re floating over the endless emerald mirror of Lake Bohinj, with the tiny red-roofed church of St John on the far shore and the snow-capped peaks of Triglav National Park rising all around. Ten minutes later you step out at 1535 m into a completely different world: wildflower meadows, grazing cows with bells, and 360-degree panoramas that make you gasp out loud. In spring the contrast is unreal – deep blue water far below, fresh green slopes, and still-white summits. The ride itself is worth the trip to Bohinj; everything you do up top is pure bonus. Don’t miss it, whatever the season!
A G — Google review
The ride is very convenient, since it brings you up to a very good spot for many of the hikes. The views (especially on the lake) are amazing. The cable car is well maintained and the stuff is polite and helpful. But, the price is too high. 33 euros for a ride up and down is just too much. Also, even if you pay the ticket, there aren't any free toilets in the valley, which is unacceptable.
Jon L — Google review
Highly recommend in the summer! At first I thought it was a bit expensive at €33 per person (slightly less for seniors), but you can park for free and there is so much to do at the top. Once at the top, you can access another chair lift and gondola as part of your ticket. There are plenty of places to eat, toilets, and lots of hiking options. And not surprisingly, the views are incredible! Practical info. We arrived around 9:30a on a Wednesday in late August. We did not have any trouble finding parking (someone directs you on where to park). The gondola seemed to be running every 15 minutes and usually is pretty full. It takes about 5 minutes to get to the top. Once back at the bottom, we walked to lake Bohinj which was less than 10 minutes.
Kristy L — Google review
Indeed it is a bit pricey, but you do get the long chair lift at the top for free and the parking. The chairlift is really nice. Views are stunning. Theres goats and alpacas at the top and cute cat! Would do again!
Ellie B — Google review
We visited the Vogel cable car on August 31, 2025. Tickets were €33 per person, so I was really expecting a great view of Lake Bohinj from the top. Unfortunately, that was a bit disappointing. The lake is only visible while you’re in the cable car or from a small platform right at the exit. At the summit, you mostly see the mountains, but not the valley or the lake. The only spot with a lake view was from the restaurant. For the price, I feel they should at least create a proper viewing platform overlooking Lake Bohinj. The top of the mountain itself is nice, but overall not worth the money if you’re just going for the view. I think it’s better suited as a starting point for hikers rather than for sightseeing.
Manmeet K — Google review
Tickets are slightly expensive, but being able to take our time and explore once we got to the top made it worth it. Cable car itself is fairly quick and offers incredible views of Bohinj.
Linda B — Google review
Although one of the pricier activities in the area, I still highly recommend. The views are unreal and make you feel like you’re in a postcard. There are options for activities at the top as well such as hiking or dining.
Kelly A — Google review
I've learned two things about myself having experienced this cable car. Firstly, I don't think I enjoy the "thrill" of going in cable cars. Secondly, I don't want to spend money for the "thrill" of a cable car. Initially I had planned to come here to hike to the peak of Mount Vogel. Online I read that the best way to speed the hike up was to take the cable car to the top then take two chair lifts getting up to the main part of the hike. However, fate had other plans. For some reason on a beautiful, windless day, the chair lifts were both closed due to "weather". However, we decided to go up anyway. The tickets to go up were 68 US Dollars! For round trip tickets that took 5 minutes each way! Absolutely insane and unreasonable! On top of the price, you are packed in like sardines! We couldn't even get to look out the window to enjoy the view on the way up or down! The worst part was the greedy and thoughtless workers coming down who all stood by the windows blocking the tourist...as if they don't get to see the view EVERY DAY. Overall it was a colossal waste of both my time and money, I completely regret wasting my time going up there and am very glad i didn't spend a penny on top and went to hike around the lake instead.

Hamburger restaurant
Foksner in Ribcev Laz is a popular spot for burger enthusiasts, offering a variety of craft burgers including a vegetarian option, all served with delectable potato wedges. The staff is known for their friendly and knowledgeable service, creating a buzzing and inviting atmosphere. The restaurant's charming interior and welcoming exterior add to the delightful dining experience, complemented by the enticing aroma of the grill.
Really nice restaurant with great value for money! People working here were super friendly although a little slow at times (but that's understandable in such a relaxed place like lake Bohinj). The food was outstanding, we got some burgers (made on the green egg BBQ) which were super juicy and well seasoned, and a goulash which was the best of the holiday. They also got a huge list of local craft beers for a fair price. Definitely go here if you crave some comfort food while at lake Bohinj!

Super good hamburger both of beef and chicken! We loved the quality of the meat, the bread and the whole combination of ingredients. Very high quality! Service was great too and so the food presentation. Very reasonable prices and fantastic quality! Very recommended
Sandra T — Google review
This spot was recommended to us by our rafting guide in Bled, and it turned out to be a great choice. The burgers were delicious – the meat was excellent, and even though the bun looked big and puffy, it was actually soft and really good. They also have a nice selection of craft beers and some good wine, so everyone was happy. It’s a popular place, so with the heavy tourist traffic it’s not easy to grab a table outside, but we easily found seating inside. The atmosphere indoors has a bit of an Irish pub vibe with lots of wood and a warm, cozy feel.

Pod Skalco in Ribčev Laz is a popular spot located just above Lake Bohinj, offering a range of activities and dining options. The cliff face provides an opportunity for rock climbing, while the restaurant features a lovely outdoor seating area where visitors can observe climbers of varying skill levels. The menu includes drinks, snacks, paninis, ice creams, as well as an extensive selection of pizzas, pastas, salads and steaks.
During our recent trip to Slovenia, we had the pleasure of dining here. The food was exceptional, truly a highlight of our trip. Remarkably, the staff even stayed open just for us, as the kitchen was nearly closed. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. To top it off, we were treated to a complimentary shot of local Slovenian alcohol. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting the area!

The restaurant is at the bottom of the cliff, just across the road with a beautiful view of the lake. It’s close to the hotels and parking lot, but still hidden away enough to feel much less crowded. We were served by Boris, who was super friendly and efficient. Seating is only on the terrace, which was perfect for a summer evening. Calm, pleasant, and with a great atmosphere. The food was excellent. I had the local specialty, Ćevapčiči with kajmak, and I highly recommend it!

Wow, was this place great! It took a little while to first get our orders, however it was well worth it. All 4 of us in the group ordered bacon cheeseburgers. They were fantastic. And we're from the states so we know a good burger! The local beers were great too. Clean and comfortable bathrooms. You can't beat the view!

We were here twice. Always same. Attitude from waitresses was arrogant and cocky. Even though you come for a drink, which I understand, they arrogantly direct you to other tables. Attitude is totally wrong. And prices …. No comment. Coffee with milk -3 €. Pizza was not pizza - but bread with cheese for 12 euros (margarita). Please if you compare it with Austrian lakes … no, you cannot compare it. Very sad for Slovenian tourism. Now in welfare you can play this game, but I hope when economy will go down u will use all of this money and not ask state for help and be among the first to complain. No words.

The restaurant is right on the lake!The view’s amazing, you seriously won’t want to get up. We had trout fillet and a salad. The fish was fresh and good, but the buckwheat pilaf that came with it? Honestly, might be the best thing I’ve eaten in Slovenia. So, so good.

Right on the lake, short walk from the centre. Very popular as it's the only restaurant with a perfect view of the lake where you can watch the beautiful sunsets. Quite a large menu with pizzas and burgers as well as more Slovenian fare. Recommend the herbed chicken. Separate tables if you're just having a drink. Staff very friendly and has the feel of a well-run restaurant. They take bookings but they only accept cash (there's an ATM just outside).

There’s not too many restaurants in the area but this one to me is a gem. The view alone is reason to visit as it is perched directly on the northern shore of lake Bohinj. Style wise it’s really more of a bar that serves food from traditional entrees to pizzas and burgers. It’s also a great spot for a drink or even a stop off if you are walking around the lake. We popped in on a dreary rainy afternoon in September when the weather had started to cool on a Saturday at around 6:15. Because of the rain it wasn’t busy so we got one of the 4 tables inside in the bar with views to the lake. We ordered pork chops (local specialty) and herb entrusted chicken served over a delicious bed of roasted mixed vegetables. Local wine, red or white is only 3€|glass but still quite good. Loved the food and the cozy atmosphere with rain be-speckling the placid lake and swallows swooping for insects just outside. Note: CASH ONLY is the rule here so plan accordingly. Delicious and delightful

Karakter Bar is a delightful spot to refuel after an adventurous day of hiking, offering a menu that caters to both hearty appetites and lighter preferences. You can indulge in mouthwatering burgers and crispy fries, or opt for fresh salads and vegetarian dishes if you're looking for something healthier. A standout feature of this vibrant café is their homemade gin, crafted in various unique flavors that are sure to tantalize your taste buds.
After a full day of hiking around Lake Bohinj, this place was the absolute perfect spot to rest and enjoy a fantastic meal. It offers outdoor eating on a lovely terrace with a great vibe. We had a double cheeseburger with fries and a schnitzel, and both were finger-licking good! You can even see the chefs working hard on the grill from the terrace – big respect to them, as they clearly don't get much rest! The result is incredibly flavorful food and a commendably short waiting time. Be aware that there can be a waiting line because the food is truly excellent, but it's absolutely worth the wait! When we return to Lake Bohinj, we'll definitely be stopping here again for a great meal.

Good burgers at a reasonable price. Prices • Double cheeseburger – €14 • Mixed salad – €12 • Lemonade – €4 Food The food arrived within 10–15 minutes. • The meat was cooked well—not dry. The bun was tasty, and the double cheeseburger was quite large. • The mixed salad was surprisingly good, though a bit tangy. • The lemonade was nothing special—very little sugar, but plenty of ice, which was refreshing on a hot day. Atmosphere Located right in the center, just 2 minutes from the bus stop and the bridge. Simple tables, pop music playing. The restroom is outside of the venue. Service Staff speak English. You order and pay at the counter. Polite and efficient. Overall Solid spot for a quick meal in the city center. Big portions, fair prices, and friendly service, even if the atmosphere is pretty basic.

Their burgers are just okay – nothing to really complain about, but nothing to get excited about either. The bun is your standard fast-food type (full of additives), there isn’t much sauce (which is actually a plus), and the meat is dry and lacks seasoning. The burger itself is relatively small and nowhere near enough to fill you up, especially after a day of hiking. Also, the burger doesn't come with fries or any sides – you have to order those separately. The fries and sweet potato fries tasted like onion rings, probably because they fry everything in the same oil. They’re located by the canal and very close to the lake. The mosquitoes and gnats were unbearable – they really need to do something about that. The waiters, on the other hand, were very nice and welcoming.

A great choice for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. They offer, among other things, a perfect choice for everyone. The Beyond Meat Burger is delicious for everyone. Take your time or make a reservation. We waited in line for ten minutes and then for the food for twenty minutes. And we are very glad that it did not put us off. The experience was worth it, not only for the food. The waiter Žan was very nice and had a professional demeanor. Excellent language skills. Ketchup and mayo with the delicious fries are of course included in the price. If you like hot sauces, they have one to try and it is perfect. The spiciness of 2/5 will not kill all tastes, but it will elevate them to heaven. I was not surprised that they are dog-friendly here. 10/10!!! Well-chosen music that was not disturbing. We will gladly stop here again when we pass by. By the way, there are far fewer tourists at Lake Bohinj than at Lake Bled and the water here is miraculously clean ❤️ ... And the last - you can sit outside only, so they're closed if it rains

Whoever is leaving negative reviews about this place having average or overcooked burgers is out of their minds. The burgers here are top notch and cooked perfectly, even by American standards. Onion rings could use a little improvement, but beers, service, patio, fries, salad… all were top notch, especially for the reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Probably the best meal we have had during our stay in Slovenia. Although the restaurant is nothing fancy (sitting on benches) the terrasse is very pleasant overlooking the creek with fresh air. The cuisine was surprisingly extremely fine and very elaborated for a "countryside restaurant in a little village". The harmony in the composition of main course dishes was perfect, which is not always the case in restaurants that claim to be creative and often pompous. We recommend the mushroom soup, the deer and the lam. Thank you to the waiter (owner ?) for his recommendation on wines which was most appropriate and allowed us to discover some great local wines. Not to be missed while in the area !

Absolutely delicious food and incredible staff. So lucky to have stumbled into this lovely family run restaurant.

Gastro pub style food using local ingredients, perfectly executed. Also great view and a must if you love wines due to a great wine list featuring Slovenian wines with some exceptions, French champagne and Italian reds. Weekly changing list of wines by the glass. Special lunch dishes and children’s meals are also available. I haven’t seen the inside of the restaurant so ambience rating is for the outside terrace.
