Wedged into the corner of this dead end valley, Bohinj is the largest and deepest lake in the national park, and is surrounded by shimmering mountain peaks. The view across this lake from the bridge at Ribฤev Laz is unrivaled. Cycle around the lake to Savica Waterfall, source of the Sava Bohinjka River, and then take the cable car up to Vogel Mountain for a spectacular view into the Bohinj Valley and of Mount Triglav, the highest peak in the Julian Alps. Explore the forests surrounding the lake before spending the evening in one of the cosy village pubs and trying the local home made honey brandy. Cycling downhill, at the foot of Mount Triglav.

As you ride into the village his statue will greet you. Visit his gallery where youโ€™ll find a limited collection of his work. The next stop is at the historic iron-smelting town of ลฝelezniki, where you will find the remains of an old blast furnace dating from 1826.

From its tower you get a commanding view of Ljubljanaโ€™s heart and soul. As the sun goes down you can choose between relaxing with a drink in the many outdoor bars/cafes beside the Ljubljanica River, or take an evening stroll, enjoying the lights and vibrant sounds of the city and its charismatic people.

This is the most extensive cave system in Slovenia, covering a total of 21 kilometers. The 1ยฝ hour tour will take you through a fairy tale world full of large and colorful stalactites and stalagmites, not forgetting the unique โ€œhuman fishโ€, a mysterious creature that lives in dark pools inside the caves.

      You can also take a short detour to the impenetrable fortress of Predjama castle, wedged tight into a crevasse halfway up a 123-meter cliff-face protruding dramatically into the surrounding basin. Here lived a vivacious and daring knight. Erasmus kept a whole army at bay by utilizing the secret of the Predjama Caves to sneak out for supplies, which included freshly picked cherries which he used to throw at his adversaries to taunt them.
