On this trip you will get to know the dwelling culture in 19th century, mountain pastures, alpine diary farming and cheese making in Bohinj. You will go on a bout tour on Lake Bohinj, see waterfall Savica and be seduced by beautiful nature.
Bohinj is one of the diamonds of Slovenia tourist areas. We will see Bohinj lake which is located in a glacial valley and it comprises almost 100 million cubic meters 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 often freezes. Water level rises 2 - 3 meters after heavy rainfall. We will also visit one of the oldest churches in Slovenia: The church of St. John the Baptist, which is known by some of the oldest frescoes in the church and in front of it. In stylistic terms, the church covers time periods from Romanticism to Baroque, it represents an important cultural and historical monument and is a listed building. The Church of St. John the Baptist is thought to have been built as early as pre1300.
Our tour will continue to Savica waterfall which is the source of the Sava Bohinjka, known under the name of Savica to the spot where it flows into Lake Bohinj. It is one of the must-see sights for Bohinj first-timers, and it is very possible that you will join those who visit Savica each and every time they come to Bohinj. Savica is very unique among world waterfalls – its watercourse is divided into two parts in the hidden undergrounds. The famous A-shaped waterfall normally comes into sight at an altitude of 836 m and is 78 m high. It is fed by the waters from the Valley of the Triglav Lakes and Pršivec that flow to it through a horizontal cave tunnel. The Karst cave with the source is full of siphons and lakes, and is only accessible with a guide and proper equipment.
