Swimming area at Lake Bohinj

Highlight • Beach

Parking lots overcrowded. Coming early and coming from Bled take the last section over the hinterland, not to drive directly to the lake, there like traffic mess

There the round starts around the lake. In the beginning really not suitable for pushchairs. Not even for our original jogger me big wheels. Better take Kraxe

Lake View

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is Ukanc, the Western end of Lake Bohinj. I think the view from here is even better than from East to West, but it may be just me. The nature, and the surroundings are definitely nicer here.

May 31, 2022,Auf dem Juliana Trail 270/16 - Etappe 7 Stara Fuzina -> Bohinjska Bistrica

The seventh stage is relatively short and leads through alpine meadows from Stara Fruzina to Bohinje Bistrica. We followed the recommendation to do this stage by bus and use the time for a short hike around Lake Bohinjsko and up to the Savica waterfall.
The waterfall can only be reached at the end of the hiking trail via approx. 550 …

Can be done even in rainy weather. Go there by bus, then through Ukanc to the waterfall and back along the lake. Pure relaxation. It's a good idea to start early so that it's not too crowded at the waterfall.

June 26, 2022,Wanderung rund um Bohinj - See mit Wasserfall

We walked counter-clockwise on the way to the waterfall, which is better. First you go to the lake or directly above it and can enjoy the water. Afterwards continue to the waterfall, which is really worthwhile. When you have all the water, you can fill it up at the entrance. The other side of the lake isn't that interesting, but …

After yesterday's traffic-free journey, today's first short hike took place 😉
The tour takes you along beautiful paths by the lake and through forests. The highlight was definitely the Savica waterfall, which also had plenty of water. To get there, however, you had to climb a few meters over many steps. But it was absolutely worth it.

A flat stage to warm up, beautiful on the way there along the lake. The climb to the waterfall is worth it just for the turquoise water. The way back is adventurous and leads through the forest above, unfortunately the view of the lake was blocked by the tall trees.

September 17, 2024,Von Ribčev Laz zum Wasserfall Savica

Today we went to the Savica double waterfall. We started in Ribčev Laz and the path led along the Bohinjsko jezero to the Ukanc campsite. From there we took the bus to the start of the climb to the waterfall. There were then over 500 steps to climb to the waterfall. We then went back to Ribčev Laz from the …

April 27, 2025,Tour du lac Bohinjsko Jezero > Cascade Slavica > Lac Crno Jezero

A very nice walk, with magnificent scenery, completed in late April in dry and overcast weather.
⌛️ Travel time: 6.5 hours (good walker)
🥾 Distance: 24km, not 18km
⚠️ A rather difficult route for beginners, with a steep path leading up to the lake and narrow, near-empty passages along the way.
