Lake Bohinj (Bohinjsko jezero) is the largest permanent lake in Slovenia and of glacial origin. The entire lake is located within Triglav National Park in Bohinj Valley.
It’s scenic, pristine, and noncommercial. We love visiting, because it’s a great base for hiking in the Julian Alps. After a day in the mountains, there’s nothing more refreshing then swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Bohinj.
This quintessential summer destination is also ideal for cycling, kayaking and stand-up-paddling.
According to local legend, God divided the world amongst his people. After dividing everything, he realized that he overlooked a few people, who were patiently waiting. They made no noise or complaints, and God felt sorry for them.
He then decided to bestow the best piece of the world – the land that he had actually reserved for himself – to them. The name Bohinj derives from “Boh,” which is what the Bohinj people call God. Bohinj is literally God’s land.
In this guide to visiting Bohinj Lake, we’re sharing our favorite places to visit, hikes, restaurants, and hotels. Welcome to God’s Land!

7 Best Things to Do at Lake Bohinj
1. Swim in Lake Bohinj
Swimming in Lake Bohinj is allowed and it is heavenly. The best time of year to swim is between mid-June and early September.
I typically shy away from swimming in lakes, because I’m a big wimp. I don’t like the feeling of grass, or algae on my toes. As a child, I was told that monsters inhabit lakes and will eat you if you misbehave (thanks Dad!). So part of me is always weary around bodies of water, even though I’m an adult.
My point in telling you this is that I love swimming in Lake Bohinj. The water is clean and clear. If there were monsters, you’d be able to see them a mile away ;).
Because motorized boats aren’t allowed on the lake, it’s safe and peaceful.
Our favorite place to swim is in Ukanc, where the Savica stream flows into the lake. Location: Google Maps.
Most people swim along the eastern shore, which is referred to as Fužinarski zaliv.
Between June 15 and August 31, the water quality of the Ukanc and Fužinarski zaliv bathing areas are monitored every 14 days by the Slovenian Environment Agency.
Dogs are prohibited from swimming in the Ukanc and Fužinarski zaliv bathing areas. However, they can bathe in other areas of the lake.
2. Visit Savica Waterfall
Slap Savica is a striking A-shaped, 78-meter-high waterfall and the source of the Sava Bohinjka river. It’s fed by water flowing from the Seven Lakes Valley and from under Pršivec, which reaches the waterfall through a cave tunnel.
The waterfall is easily accessible from Ukanc, the small settlement on the western shore of Lake Bohinj.
From Ukanc, you can either hike up to Slap Savica, take the bus (summer only), or drive to Koča pri Savici hut. If you drive up, there’s a parking fee of 4 EUR (3 hours), or 8 EUR (day).
From the Koča pri Savici hut it’s a 15-20 minute walk along a stone pathway to the waterfall.
Slap Savica Entrance Fee
There is an entrance fee to visit Slap Savica. Julian Alps Bohinj card holders can visit free of charge.
The entrance fee slightly varies throughout the season.
Adults | 3 – 4 EUR
Children 7-14 | 1.50 – 2 EUR
Children 0-6 | Free
Students | 2.50 EUR
Seniors 65+ | 2.50 EUR
3. Hike to the Bohinj Alpine Pastures
High above the northern shores of Lake Bohinj is a world of alpine pastures, seemingly hidden in pockets of forest.
Almost a dozen alpine pastures dot the Fuzina Hills (Fužinarske planine) at an elevation around 1000 meters.
Like many other places in the Alps, the Fuzina Hills were a place of traditional alpine farming. In the summer months, cattle grazed up in the highlands, overseen by herdsmen.
Traditional alpine cattle rearing is still in practice in some of these alpine pastures. And, there are even several cheese dairies still in operation. If you visit during summer pasture season, make sure to purchase fresh dairy products.
These Bohinj alpine pastures are particularly special, because of the traditional shepherds’ huts.
The best way to visit the Bohinj alpine pastures is on a circuit hike, starting at Planina Blato, which is accessible by shuttle bus in high season, or by car via the toll road (fees apply).
If you follow our Triglav Lakes Valley hike, you will hike to Planina Pri Jezeru and Planina Dedno Polje on the way to the Triglav Lakes Hut and Double Lake.
Bohinj Mountain Pastures
The most scenic mountain pastures above Bohinj Lake are Planina Pri Jezeru, Planina v Lazu, Planina Dedno Polje, Planina Kristenica, and Planina Viševnik.
The mountain pasture with the best view of Lake Bohinj is Planina Vogar.
More alpine pastures above Bohinj: Planina Blato, Planina Hebed, Planina Ovčarija, and Planina Vodični vrh.
3. Hike to Triglav Lakes Valley
The Triglav Lakes Valley, also called the Seven Lakes Valley, is a scenic valley in the Julian Alps, only accessible by foot.
You can hike to Seven Lakes from the Koča pri Savici hut (where the Slap Savica parking lot is), or from Planina Blato, or even from Stara Fužina.
Note: the Koča pri Savici ascent route via Črno jezero is far more difficult than the Planina Blato and Stara Fužina ascent routes. Here’s our Planina Blato to Triglav Lakes Valley trail guide.
To see more of Seven Lakes Valley, we recommend a 2-day route, with an overnight in a mountain hut. We loved this Veliko Špičje and Seven Lakes Valley route.
To learn more about staying the night in a hut, read our guide to Slovenian Mountain Huts.
The Seven Lakes of Triglav Lakes Valley
The seven lakes of Triglav Lakes Valley are Črno jezero (Black Lake), Dvojno jezero (Double Lake), Veliko jezero (Big Lake) also known as Jezero v Ledvici (Kidney Lake), Zeleno Jerzero (Green Lake), Rjavo Jezero (Brown Lake), and Jezero pod Vršacem (Lake below Vršac).
Important: Bathing in these alpine lakes is not permitted.
4. Visit Mostnica Gorge
Mostnica Gorge is a 2-km-long gorge in Voje Valley, accessible from Stara Fužina.
If visiting the Mostnica Gorge, you can extend your hike up the Voje Valley to the 21-meter high Mostnica Waterfall (also called the Voje or Šum Waterfall).
You can walk to Mostnica Gorge directly from Stara Fužina. Read this Mostnica Gorge trail guide for more info.
Mostnica Gorge Entrance Fee
Adults | 3 – 4 EUR
Children 7-14 | 1.50 – 2 EUR
Children 0-6 | Free
Students | 2.50 EUR
Seniors 65+ | 2.50 EUR
5. Ride the Vogel Cable Car and Hike to Mount Vogel
The Vogel Cable Car connects Ukanc, to the Vogel Ski Center. From the mountain station, there are sweeping views of the Julian Alps and Bohinj Valley.
A number of hikes start at the Vogel Ski Center, including Mount Vogel (1922 m), Rodica (1964 m), and a number of other peaks along the Spodnje Bohinjske Gore (“Lower Bohinj Mountains”) ridge.
The Vogel Cable Car runs daily every 30 minutes from 8 am until 6 pm, during high season, and from 8 am until 4 pm, during low season. There’s a free parking lot directly at the valley station.
Your Vogel Cable Car ticket includes the Orlove Glave Chairlift. If this chairlift is running, definitely take it, if you’re planning on hiking to Vogel or Rodica.
To reach the Vogel Cable Car, drive to Ukance, the settlement on the western-end of Lake Bohinj. After passing a large camping area (on your right), a road branches off to the left to the Vogel Cable Car valley station. Park here.
Throughout the year, there’s a bus connection to the Vogel cable car valley station.
Learn More: Hiking to Mount Vogel
6. Savor the Bird’s-Eye View of Lake Bohinj from the Planina Vogar Bohinj Lookout Point
From Stara Fužina (600 m), you can hike up one hour to the Kosijev dom na Vogarju hut (1054 m), situated at Planina Vogar. It’s a steep 454-meter ascent through the forest.
When you reach the Kosijev dom na Vogarju mountain hut, take a quick detour to the Bohinj lookout point marked by a bench. There are signs.
This is one of our favorite vantage points of Lake Bohinj. From here you can continue to Planina Pri Jezeru (1:30 hrs).

Lake Bohinj Hotels, B&Bs, and Apartments
We recommend staying in the villages of Stara Fužina, Ribčev Laz, or Ukanc.
You can also stay in Bohinjska Bistrica, which is a bit further away, but well-connected to the lake by transit.
Where to Stay in Ribčev Laz
Ribčev Laz is the main hub at Lake Bohinj, with a direct bus connection to Lake Bled and onward to Ljubljana. Here, you’ll find a cluster of eateries, grocery stores, and boat rental shops. It’s the most lively village around the lake.

Bathrooms are either private, or shared. From the hostel, it’s a 20 minute walk (1.8 km) to Ribčev Laz, the closest village (restaurants, shops, etc…).

Midrange | Apartments and rooms Cerkovnik is located in Ribčev Laz, a mere 10-minute walk to the lakeshore (1 km). This sparking clean accommodation offers double and triple rooms as well as well-equipped apartments. Breakfast is available for an additional fee. On-site parking is free.
Luxury | The newly renovated Hotel Bohinj is located in the center of Ribčev Laz, only a few meters from Lake Bohinj. Designed to impress as much as to pay tribute to the region’s cultural heritage, Hotel Bohinj is the most striking hotel in the region.
The hotel hallways epitomize the traditional, wooden hay racks of Bohinj Valley. The lobby ceiling represents the stalactites, commonly found in the karst caves of the Julian Alps. And, the hotel’s logo signifies the four brave men from Bohinj who first climbed Mount Triglav in 1778.
As you wander through the hotel, you’ll be mesmerized by the bold design decisions, charmed by the motifs, and soothed by the neutral materials and textures. It’s a work of art.
Here’s why we recommend staying in Hotel Bohinj:
Location. Everything is easily accessible from Hotel Bohinj. If you’re traveling without a car, the bus stop is 1-minute away. It’s effortless to hop on the free shuttle buses to Rudno Polje, Planina Blato, and Ukanc. The tourist office is across the street. And, of course, Lake Bohinj is a mere 2-minute walk from the hotel.
Air-conditioned Bedrooms. Bohinj Valley can get really hot in summer. Luckily, all bedrooms are air-conditioned.
Breakfast. The breakfast buffet features yogurt, muesli, sliced cheeses and meats, local cheese, eggs and sausages, warm croissants and nutritious breads, juices, loose leaf tea, and of course coffee.
Dinner. You can also decide to eat dinner at the hotel. The dinner menu changes each evening. You’ll have the choice between 2-3 items for each of the 3 courses. The food was delicious, especially the beetroot risotto and the various trout dishes. However, the portions are on the smaller side.
Hotel Garden. You can relax and order drinks throughout the day in the hotel’s outdoor living room.
Hotel Bohinj also has a spa and wellness area, which is accessible as an add-on. The wellness area encompasses a Finnish sauna, steam sauna, outdoor whirlpool, a heated salt relaxation room, and a juice bar.
We opted for a 3-hour sauna world (25 EUR per person) on an overcast day and it was extremely relaxing. The spa menu includes massages (classic, relax, and sport), facials (beauty, deep cleaning, and peeling), and several spa packages.
