Framed by the majestic and jagged peaks of the Julian Alps, rocky and sheer on one side, pine clad and gently sloping on the other, Lake Bohinj enjoys one of the most vividly picturesque and unspoilt natural settings. The villages around the lake are nestled on the wooded shores, with their charming alpine houses blending perfectly into the landscape. Small beaches are dotted along the lakeshore, perfect for bathing and there are also tremendous lake and mountain views from Mount Vogel*.
