solopes Says: Two kilometers far fro Ribcev Laz there's a church that stands isolated by the lake. It was open, empty, and with a nice and rich decoration, including a large fresco in the outside. Back home I read that there's a house (I didn't notice) up the path, where the key is kept...
solopes Says: One of the preferred sightseeing points of lake Bohinj is the bridge of Ribcev Laz. In a landscape dominated by nature, this artificial element fits well, with its discreet and classical construction in stone.
solopes Says: Not far from Ribcev Laz, bordering the lake there's a strange rock vertically cut, that shelters a bar and picnic area. With a small parking, it is used to small events, sometimes with live music.
solopes Says: the centre of Ribcev laz is dominated by a small hilly garden with a statue on top. It is the celebration of three locals that,led by an Austrian, were the first to climb the high peek of Triglav mountain in 1778
solopes Says: A very old church (at least from the 15Th century) stands by the lake. It is open to the public ans shows some frescoes, that were being restored when I visited it. It seems that are several layers with the frescoes, so, it will be interesting to find out how will they deal...

Carla.Razenb Says: Nice inside and outside location. Ouside very nice terrace Fish, meat, pizza
Any of the huts on the way to Triglav: When you're in the Mountains
blaird Says: When you are hiking the mountains around Ribcev Laz the huts are a great option for inexpensive and hot food. Some kind of local sausages, yum.
blaird Says: The best bet for public transportation is to take a bus through Bled onto Ribcev Laz. We got on a bus in Ljubljana, through Bled, through Bohinj Bistrica, on to Ribcev Laz. The train also comes down from Salzburg through Lesce/Bled, where you will need to hop a bus anyway to...
Walk or a bus when you are there
blaird Says: To get from one side of the lake to another you either need to walk or hop a bus. Check at teh Tourist Office if you can't figure out the bus schedule.We did both. We took a bus one time from Ribcev Laz to Ukanc, then we walked another time. Stara Fuzina to Ribcev Laz is...
Near the Tourist Office: Groceries
blaird Says: Your basic grocery store, with lots of the basics you need. Meat, veges, fruit, bread, juice, etc. But, they don't sell fingernail clippers here, to my dismay. I needed to go all the way to Bohinj Bistricta for that item, along with shoelaces. I got cookies here, they were...
Tourist Office: Souveniers, novelties...
blaird Says: Your basic souvenier shop...T shirts, hats, dolls, decorative plates, and many locally made gifts. Post cards are all I bought here Typical overpriced souveniers, but were else can you find them?
blaird Says: While in Slovenia, I had some great local sausage, good fish, and fun Slovenian desserts. One basic dessert that I had here, and also make at home is Flancati (See picture). It is a pan fried cookie. Very basic, very good, I have seen very similar cookies in other cultures.
blaird Says: At the cow festival, some of the people wore clothes that date back to their cultural heritage. The outfits were so fun to see, I had only seen them in pictures and on dolls.Obviously, the clothing styles are similar to other ethnic clothing in the general area. You can see...
blaird Says: When you are in the Alps, make sure you have a map, have someone in your group that knows how to read it, or stick close to other groups. The main trails are marked pretty well, but it is always best to understand where you are on a topographic map so you don't go down a...
Hiking to Triglav - Be careful
blaird Says: Be careful hiking/climbing Triglav. Don't go up if the weather turns on you, bring warm clothes, bring rain gear, and be smart!
blaird Says: Have a large backpack to store your stuff while hiking Bring both warm and cool weather gear, sturdy boots, and some sort of rain protection. The weather at higher altitudes becomes unpredictable, it can be beautiful during the day and below freezing at night. It can be...
solopes Says: Now, follow me:Take the road to Stara Fuzina, and keep on uphill for more 2 Km. You will not repent. The tiny village of Srednja Vas is... delicious. Now it's up to you, to return, or two continue to Cesnika and Bohinjska Bistrica along a nice landscape. We enjoyed it!
solopes Says: No I didn't use bus in Slovenia, but, travelling with Fernanda how could I ignore this small detail?All bus stop are small wooden shelters with... flowers. All of them with a large and colourful branch of flowers. Now... how do I choose two or three photos from the hundreds...
blaird Says: Okay, I didn't do any of this stuff, but i looked into it and decided I would rather go to the cow festival (sad, but true). I spoke with guys teaching climbing on a wall face near the lake, checked out the cost to parasail (about $75), and talked with the guys renting out...
blaird Says: Okay, I have no idea where this goes, but we needed to wash our extremely dirty clothes after about a week on the road. We stopped at the tourist office for tips, they recommended a campground in Bohinj Bistritca (sic?). Here you can get coins for their laundry equipment and...

Stayed here before hiking to Triglav
We stayed in Ribcev Laz, Stara Fuzina, and the mountains surrounding Bohinjsko Jezero for about 5 days (Northwestern Slovenia). It was beautiful, not too touristy, and I will definitely go...
