Outdoor Adventures in Bohinj: The Call of the Wild

In summer, Bohinj transforms into a vibrant outdoor playground. Paddleboards glide over glassy lake waters at sunrise, while kayakers explore hidden coves along the shore. If you crave something faster-paced, canyoning through crystal-clear streams and waterfalls delivers an adrenaline punch like no other.

Hikers can choose from gentle paths through wildflower-strewn meadows or tackle rugged trails leading to Triglav National Park’s majestic peaks. The climb to Mount Triglav, Slovenia’s highest summit, is a rite of passage for many — but even gentler walks, like the trail to Savica Waterfall, reward explorers with breathtaking vistas.

Cyclists, meanwhile, find their rhythm on scenic valley roads or test their mettle on adrenaline-pumping forest tracks. The Pokljuka Plateau offers challenging yet rewarding rides through dense pine forests, while the lakeside paths provide a more leisurely, picturesque route.
