Triglav – Slovenia’s highest mountain. Its pyramid-shape summit rises above central Julian Alps and is clearly visible from far and near. As the highest mountain, it has stirred the imagination of explorers, hikers and climbers already in the 18th century, when it was first conquered by four brave men from Bohinj. After that Slovenian and German mountaineering societies practically competed in the number of marked and climbed routes. Nowadays, challenges in its huge north wall are left for the best climbers, and the ascent to the summit is a wish for most Slovenians and an increasing number of tourists as well.

The largest natural lake in Slovenia with endless opportunities for outdoor activities.
Lake Bohinj is located in a glacial valley and it comprises almost 100 million cubic metres of water – according to an old Bohinj joke: no more than a bucket if it is large enough. The steeply descending lake basin is relatively smoothly shaped and has no shallow areas. In summer, the temperature of the water rises to 22 °C; in winter, the lake freezes sometimes.
