Although a guided tour is the easiest way to visit Lake Bohinj, there are ways to get there independently. Buses run regularly from Ljubljana to Lake Bohinj via Lake Bled and take just under 2 hours. Going by train, while possible, requires a connection at Jesenice to the nearest train station at Bohinjska Bistrica, then a local bus from there.
While Lake Bohinj is a year-round destination, summer offers the best weather for sightseeing and activities. For this reason, the warm summer months of July and August are also the busiest. Try visiting in May, June, or September to avoid the bulk of the crowds. As for the ski season, December to early April provides the winter weather you need.
Lake Bohinj’s most popular activities are cycling, hiking, and swimming. But the region is also a hive of activity for more adventurous pursuits. Ride down local dirt tracks and the slopes of Vogel Ski Resort on a mountain bike, scramble up the perfect terrain of waterfalls and gorges while rock-climbing and canyoning in the Bohinj Valley, or take to the skies with a tandem paragliding experience.
