Lake Bohinj - in the middle of the Triglav National Park. It is the best-kept secret in Europe. Certainly "must see" in Slovenia. The largest natural lake in Slovenia, best known for its stone bridge and the Church of St. John the Baptist. The circular walk around Lake Bohinj is also recommended.
Pokljuka Plateau in the Triglav National Park. Plateau has been a popular tourist destination since before the Second World War. It is a well-known starting point for an ascent of Triglav and many more easily accessible peaks (Viševnik, 2,050 metres, Mali Draški Vrh, Debela Peč with a mountain hut offering accommodation and good food, Lipanski Vrh). On the way to Pokljuka, just outside the village of Gorje, there is a spectacular gorge, perhaps the quietest and most peaceful place in the entire area. Except for sports activities on the Pokljuka Plateau, you can also pick forest fruits (mushrooms, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries…) and herbs.
Biathlon Sports Centre, located in Rudno Polje, is the perfect destination for cross-country skiers and biathletes. Situated at the end of the main road to Pokljuka, the centre offers around 5 km of cross-country skiing trails around the hotel and another 40 km of trails in the nearby forests. Even if you are not a hotel guest, it is worth coming to the centre to enjoy a drink or lounge on the outside terrace while watching the biathletes train for their upcoming World Cup even.
