In-Depth Information
The pristine alpine Lake Bohinj (BOH-heen), 16 miles southwest of Bled, enjoys a quieter
scene and (in clear weather) even better vistas of Triglav and the surrounding mountains.
This is a real back-to-nature experience, with just a smattering of hotels and campgrounds,
rather than the well-oiled resort machine of Bled. Some people adore Bohinj; others are
bored by it. While spectacular in clear, sunny weather, it's disappointing in the clouds (and,
because of its position deep in the mountains, it can be socked-in here even when it's clear
in Bled). But if the weather is great and you're finding Bled too touristy to allow you to
really enjoy nature, go to Bohinj.
