Hiking
Lake Bohinj is an ideal destination for hiking and walking. A good easy walk around the
lake (12km) from Ribčev Laz should take between three and four hours. Otherwise you
could just do parts of it by following the hunters' trail in the forest above the south shore
of the lake to the Hotel Zlatorog and taking the bus back, or walking along the more tran-
quil northern shore under the cliffs of Pršivec (1761m).
Another excellent hike is the two-hour walk north from Stara Fužina through the Most-
nica Gorge to the Mostnica Waterfalls (Mostniški Slapovci), which rival Savica Waterfall
after heavy rain.
The
Bohinj cable car

operates year-round, hauling skiers in winter and hikers in summer. There are
several day hikes and longer treks that set out from Vogel. Experienced hikers might try
the ascent up to Vogel (1922m) from the cable car's upper station. Take a map and com-
pass. The whole trip should take about four hours.
