Here’s what The Guardian has writen about the Lake Bohinj circular hike: “Just an hour’s drive from Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, Lake Bohinj is the country’s largest glacier lake, situated inside Triglav national park and surrounded by the grandeur of the Julian Alps. Starting and finishing at the lakeside village of Ribcev Laz, the trail leads past a handful of secluded beaches and on to Slap Savica, a majestic waterfall and source of the nearby Sava river. From the path there are plenty of magnificent views of the lake, with the surrounding mountains mirrored in it.”

The complete list of “Five gorgeous short hikes in Europe” includes Ladder of Kotor (Montenegro), Fairy Pools (Isle of Skye, Scotland), Pico do Arieiro Trail (Madeira, Portugal), Lake Bohinj circular (Slovenia), The Flysch route (Spain). The article is available here!
