Day 1: Arrival in Bled
Today is all about settling in your comfortable hotel by the magical Lake Bled and exploring its surroundings on the doorstep of the Julian Alps. Depending on the time at your disposal, you can take a walk around the lake, try a bite of the famous local “kremšnita” creme cake, or visit the Bled Castle on a little hilltop overlooking the lakeside. Let the adventure begin!
Day 2: Highlights of Bled
Today, you’ll walk across the fields above Bled to Vintgar Gorge, where Radovna River cut a deep ravine, which visitors can now traverse along a series of boardwalks fixed along the side of the steep stone walls. Then, you’ll return to the lakeside, where you can take the traditional pletna boat ride to the lake’s island, wrapping up a magical day at Lake Bled. After a day filled with new experiences, you’ll return to Bled for another night at your hotel.
Day 3: Bled Round Trail
Bled Round Trail is a scenic circular hike around Lake Bled, taking you across several panoramic viewpoints surrounding Lake Bled, such as Mt. Ojstrica, Mala Osojnica, Bled Castle, etc. You’ll start from your doorstep, and you can take it at your own pace or even do only a section of the entire route. Then, you’ll return to the hotel for your final night in Bled.
Day 4: Mt. Vogel hike
You’ll be moving bases today, taking a bus from Bled to Bohinj, which is less touristy but just as (or even more) stunning. Your first day in Bohinj includes a hike on Mt. Vogel, a famous Slovenian ski resort. You’ll hitch a cabin ride above Lake Bohinj, quickly gaining elevation, thus allowing you to enjoy a scenic and not-too-strenuous hike on the plateau above. The views include the quaint Bohinj Valley and Mt. Triglav, Slovenia’s highest mountain. You’ll descend back to the valley and check into your hotel in Stara Fužina.
Day 5: Voje Valley hike
Your last active day on these holidays will introduce you to one of the most beautiful corners of the Julian Alps – the Voje Valley. The initial kilometres will lead you through the stunning Mostnica Gorge, where you can stand in awe of the rock shapes sculpted by the sheer power of water. The next part takes you along a quaint meadow with wooden shepherd’s huts dotting the landscape before you reach the booming Mostnica Waterfall at the end of the valley. Here, you’ll take a brief moment of serenity before returning to Stara Fužina.
Day 6: Departure from Stara Fužina
On your last day in Slovenia, you can take it easy and enjoy your final moments of the calming alpine ambiance by Lake Bohinj. To make matters as easy for you as possible, we can arrange a transfer to the airport or Ljubljana for you. But you can take it at your own pace.
