Lake
Lake Klivnik

Lake Klivnik is a reservoir in the Primorsko-notranjska region of southwestern Slovenia, created by damming a stream in a quiet, wooded landscape. It is a calm place for a lakeside walk and a break from driving through the Karst hinterland. The lake lies in the countryside south of Ilirska Bistrica, close to the border with Croatia.

Bled Castle is a medieval castle standing on a steep cliff above Lake Bled in the Gorenjska region. From its terraces there is a wide view over the lake, the island church and the surrounding Julian Alps. The castle sits directly above the town of Bled and can be reached on foot by a short but steep path from the lakeshore.

Lake
Lake Bohinj

Lake Bohinj is the largest natural lake in Slovenia, lying in a glacial valley within Triglav National Park in the Gorenjska region. It is surrounded by the peaks of the Julian Alps and is known for its clear water and quieter shores than nearby Bled. A level path runs along much of the shoreline, and the Church of St John the Baptist stands by the stone bridge at Ribčev Laz on the eastern end.

49 km
Cave
Dimnice

Dimnice is a karst cave in the Obalno-kraška region of southwestern Slovenia, on the limestone plateau of the Karst near the Croatian border. It is a good stop for anyone interested in underground karst landscapes away from the busier show caves. Plan it as a short side trip within the coastal-karst area and check access arrangements locally before you go.

Gorge
Vintgar Gorge

Vintgar Gorge (Blejski vintgar) is a narrow gorge carved by the Radovna River, shared by the municipalities of Bled, Gorje and Jesenice in the Gorenjska region.

It lies just north of Bled, making it an easy half-day walk from the lake.
