In the vicinity of Lake Bohinj (towards the northwestern tip of the lake) you'll find the waterfall Slap Savica. We had a quick and affordable lunch near the lakeside - mixed salad, coffee and tea for 10 euro - before attempting the ascent of the more than 500 steps that led us the waterfall. You'll find that there are in fact two waterfalls next to each other, the tallest of which - according to our book - measures 75 meters (246 feet). Not bad at all, especially when measured by Dutch standards.

The church of Ribcev Laz near Lake Bohinj. I especially liked the exterior painting of St. Christopher, who happens to be one of my favourite saints (see for example the picture I made in Vitt on the island of Rügen )

Jennie stumbled upon this hidden cemetery on the south side of the lake when we spent some time at the lower terminal of the cable lift that took us up to the ski resort Vogel afterwards. It would seem that soldiers fighting in World War I were buried here after a skirmish in this region.

It's an easy walk from the ski hotel Vogel (also upper terminal of the cable lift) to the nearby mountain top Orlove Glave. In one of these pictures you can see the two of us right on top of this modest elevation in the area with our backs to the cross that has been placed there. Afterwards, we moved on to the waterfall Slap Savica.

This is the Ski Resort Vogel, altitude approx. 1535 meters. We went up by cable-lift from Lake Bohinj's southern shores. We paid 27 euro (2 persons) for this relatively short trip. You'll get a great view of Mt. Triglav during the way up!
Because we visited the area in spring time (May 2012) I must admit that the mountain plain or alm was rather deserted. From here we made a short walk across the 'waste land' towards Orlove Glave.

We took the cable car at the Vogel Ski Centre. This hourly service gives some great views on the way up.
Once at the top there are several bars for the apres ski crowd but these were mostly shut when we visited.
We had a walk up some of the ski runs and were treated to some fantastic views.

Our friends took this trip which runs the length of the lake to the campsite near the Vogel cable car. There is a commentry during the trip highlighting the surrounding views and nature.
The lake appeared to be full of fish from what we could see from the shore.

There are two tourist offices in the village (Bohinj & Alpine) giving you lots of options of excursions/activities.
There is a small shop which is ideal for stocking up on snacks/picnic food.
The church of St John is also worth a look and the World War I memorial is a good sculpture.

The lake is well worth a hike around and we met several groups out enjoying the autumn air. There are two paths that you can take along the south shore (we took the lower one) but the north shore path hugs the shoreline virtually the whole length of the lake.

We set off to Lake Bohinj after a pal suggested it to us and I can back up his recommendation.
The dreamy Lake Bohinj in Slovenia. We came by car from nearby Bled on 19 May 2012 and visited both the ski resort on the western slopes of the mountain range and the waterfall Slap Savica. From here...
The lake visited on rainy summer
I guess noone can get fed up with Bohinj but it needed about 10 years for me to return! Grrrr! My husband loved it immediately for fishing opportunites in the lake, while I opted for a hike around......
