From here, too, a beautiful view of Triglav, the highest mountain in Slovenia and a national shrine. The Triglav is part of the national flag of Slovenia.

Actually, if you go to Bohin, you can't miss it, as the main road will take you directly there. Once at Ribčev Laz, you will have to decide what to do next. If you came to Bohinj just for a day-long visit, then you are probably limited to three "must do" attractions:
(1) The Old Stone Bridge and Church, at the Eastern end of Lake Bohinj. This is the most iconic, post-card-picture attraction of the entire lake area and everyone goes there; (2) The Savica Fall, at te oposite end of the lake. Don't expect a Niagara, but in early spring, when the snows are melting, it's impressive enough (many steps up, up, up, though!), and finally - on a CLEAR(!) day -
(3) The Vogel Cable-Car. Breathtaking views of Northern Julian Alps at 1570 meters (and the ride itself is a bit breathtaking, too).
You need to be in a decent shape and way more determined to try including a full-circle hike around the lake (ca. 3 hrs; decent footwear required!), but if you are, I'd certainly recommend it.

If you are nearby: be sure to visit the old stone bridge, visit the historic church on the eastern bank - you can also climb the church tower, the climb is worth it with a beautiful view, the cemetery is also worth visiting.
Don't forget to look at the Savica waterfall and take the cable car up to Vogel - enjoy unforgettable moments.
When you have done that, as a reward, enjoy the special Upper Carniola dessert in one of the cafés.
