Lake Bohinj is located in the Julian Alps not far from more touristy Bled. It is close to the border with Italy and Austria in the northwest of Slovenia.

The area is extremely beautiful. It's as good looking as the nicest places in Switzerland or Austria, but life here is a whole lot cheaper. The water of the lake is of the deepest blue. The hike up to the falls is strenous, but pleasant. Unfortunately, at the peak, the falls itself and the view is a bit of a disappointment.

In Winter the area offers good skiing possibilities and in summer hiking and biking are the favourite activities.
