Description
Visit one of the most well known parts of Slovenia in the heart of the Julian Alps and Triglav National park where two glacier lakes are set. The Bled and Bohinj lakes are extremely popular among Slovenians. This is because of many legends, among which the most famous is about Črtomir and Bogomila, written by our greatest poet, France Prešeren. Or perhaps is it only because of the natural beauty that surrounds this area. The best idea is to find out on your own!

The trip will start at the agreed location from where we drive towards lake Bled.
In Bled we board a boat that will take us to the island, where the church dedicated to St. Mary, originally from 8-9 century, is set. On the island we will be able to ring the bell of wishes and discover legends told about the island and the surroundings.

In the afternoon we will drive towards another gorgeous lake - Bohinj. First we will stop on the lakeside next to the church of St. John the Baptist from where we have a wonderful view of the lake and its surroundings. After this we will drive to the cable car and we will take a lift to (1535m) mount Vogel’s vantage point , where we see almost all the Julian Alps and of course - Bohinj lake /or/ we will go to the Savica waterfall, one of the main springs of Slovenia’s main river, Sava.
