Sightseeing – Bohinj
Triglav Lakes Valley
The Triglav Lakes Valley is an alpine valley between Bohinj and Trenta, with lakes that have formed in basins with water-retaining deposits along the mighty Slatenska Plate. It is about 8 km long. The valley is heavily karstified; here we encounter almost all forms of karst weathering found in the Alps. The reddish Jurassic rocks are present, and fossils can be found in them.
Lake Bohinj
Lake Bohinj is the largest permanent and natural lake in Slovenia, located in the Julian Alps in the northwest of the country. The main tributary of the lake is the Savica River, which flows through a moraine with boulders in the western part of the lake basin and empties into the lake at Ukanc. The lake is a flowing body of water – from the lake, the Jezernica River flows out, which, after less than 100 meters, joins with the Mostnica River coming from Voje, forming the Sava Bohinjka River.
The Last Vogel
The Last Vogel Mountain rises to an altitude of 1413 metres. It is famous for the fact that during the summer months, local farmers bring their cattle, which graze in the area of the First and Last Vogel, to the top.
Mostnice riverbed and the Voja valley
Some of the most beautiful and most visited natural attractions around Bohinj are the Mostnica Gorge and the Voje Valley. If we set out on a walk through the Voje Valley, we can admire the crystal-clear water and the transformed rocks that have been carved by water over millions of years.
Savica Waterfall
Savica Waterfall is one of the most famous and unique waterfalls in Slovenia. At first glance, it appears to be like any other waterfall originating from a sheer cliff, but this is not the case. Savica Waterfall shows its uniqueness even underground, before it emerges to the surface from the steep wall of Komarča and then falls 78 meters deep. Its uniqueness becomes evident when it splits into two channels underground and later emerges in the shape of the letter “A”, which is why it is also known as the “double waterfall.”
