This Lake Bled and Bohinj day trip from Ljubljana takes you to the two best-known glacial lakes in the Slovenian Alps, with a stop at Savica waterfall at the end. It suits first-time visitors who want to see Bled and the quieter side of Triglav National Park in one day, without renting a car.
The first stop is Lake Bled. Bled Castle sits on a cliff above the water, and the guide tells you about its medieval history. You can also ride a traditional pletna boat to Bled Island and its church. The castle, boat and church have their own entry fees that are not part of the tour, so you choose what you want to do.
Next, the road goes through rural Slovenia to Lake Bohinj, the largest glacial lake in the country. It’s calmer than Bled and sits inside Triglav National Park. On a clear day you can see Mt. Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia at 2,864 meters.
A short walk leads to the Sava Bohinjka River, which flows out of the lake. Nearby is the Church of St. John the Baptist, known for its medieval frescoes. Then there’s free time to rest by the water. In summer you can swim, so pack a swimsuit.
The last stop is Savica waterfall above Lake Bohinj. Entry is included. After the visit, you head back to Ljubljana.

I had an amazing experience! Slovenia is so beautiful and our guide Veronika was amazing. Highly recommend
We had a fantastic time on this tour! The lakes were gorgeous and our guide, Julia, was wonderful. Julia created a warm and friendly environment on the tour, was very knowledgeable and gave great commentary, and was a skilled and safe driver in some challenging traffic conditions. We also really enjoyed having our time time to explore and have a swim. We’d highly recommend this tour and Julia as a guide!
