About Bohinj
Bohinj is an alpine valley in the Julian Alps, centred on Lake Bohinj inside Triglav National Park. Most visitors base themselves at Ribčev Laz on the lake shore or in Stara Fužina, the starting point for the Mostnica Gorge. The Savica waterfall, a medieval frescoed church by the stone bridge and the Vogel mountain above Ukanc are the main sights. It is a walking and swimming destination rather than a nightlife one.
