Destinations · Amazing Slovenia 🇸🇮
Triglav National Park
The heart of the Slovenian Alps – home to Triglav, the peak every Slovenian is said to climb at least once.
Triglav is the symbol of Slovenia – it even appears on the national flag. The surrounding park is home to Lake Bohinj, Slovenia's largest permanent lake, Savica waterfall, Vintgar Gorge and high alpine pastures where cows graze in summer. Wild, pristine and peaceful nature.

An A-shaped waterfall, the source of the Sava Bohinjka river.
- Photo
Vintgar Gorge
Wooden walkways above the turquoise Radovna river.
View of Triglav
Slovenia's highest peak (2,864 m) and a national symbol.
How the day works
A morning departure, a circular route through the park with viewpoints, walks and photo stops, lunch on a mountain pasture or in Bohinj, and an afternoon return. Usually 8–10 hours.
Who it suits
Anyone who wants to see the 'real' alpine Slovenia — families, couples and photographers. I adapt the pace and difficulty to the group.
Combine it
It pairs beautifully with Bled as a two-day alpine programme, or with the Soča Valley over the Vršič pass.
Guided or self-guided
Explore with me
- Pick-up from your accommodation, Vintgar tickets booked in advance, the best views of Triglav, stories and legends of the Julian Alps, and photographs to remember your day.
Explore independently
A bus runs from Ljubljana to Bohinj, but to see several spots in one day you'll need a car. The lake is great for cycling. Buy Vintgar tickets online in advance.
Best time to visit
June–September for higher areas; May and October for valleys, lakes and waterfalls.
