Slovenia

Walking in Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj

This trip is currently unavailable. Please call us on 0044 1606 720199 for further details.

  • Enjoy a variety of ridge walking, alpine meadows, deep gorges and unspoilt villages
  • Based in the spectacular Julian Alps Mountain range which extend into Austria
  • Jagged peaks are softened by tranquil Lakes Bled & Bohinj, renowned for their beauty

Most of our walking takes place in the north of Slovenia in the Julian Alps. This range forms part of the Southern Alps which extend into Austria. The spectacular mountains in this area are predominately limestone, and their jagged forms produce stunning vistas wherever you look. The area is softened by beautiful, tranquil lakes in the valley bottoms and amongst the rocky crags. Two of the largest lakes, Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj, feature on our 7-night walking holiday.

The beauty of Lake Bled, one of our centres, attracts world-wide visitors. It is a natural mineral spa lake with its medieval castle, island with church and the surrounding Alps as a stunning back drop. Nearby is Lake Bohinj, a lake set amongst the higher mountains of the Julian Alps in the Triglav National Park. The valley floors are full of picturesque villages whose inhabitants still rely on farming and its agricultural products for their income. The Slovenes are deeply proud of their way of life, and undoubtedly you will be tempted by their food which offers a host of national dishes many influenced by the cuisine of neighbouring countries. Slovenia also produces excellent wine.

There is walking in Slovenia to challenge the most demanding of walkers as well as those who require more gentle routes. The limestone peaks give many opportunities for ridge walking with stunning vistas of local peaks and lakes. You can walk to the top of Mount Vogel (1922m) with its commanding views all the way to Italy and Austria. Helpfully, some of these high walks can be assisted by the use of a cable car.

Experience the Via Ferrata * (Iron way) routes through the mountains built by soldiers in the First World War as supply routes for Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies fighting in the area. Explore mountain paths through Alpine meadows. Take mountain routes over rocky paths; discover deep gorges and spectacular waterfalls where for most of the year, you may be the only visitor.

There are also several routes linking beautiful, unspoilt villages either on the valley floor or on the mountain slopes. They often follow fast-flowing mountain rivers which will make their way to the Danube and the Black Sea. There is plenty here to satisfy all grades of walker.

Very efficient and helpful booking process


Diane Hall, 26/05/2023

Excellent telephone response. Answered all questions in an informative and warm manor. We have changed our original holiday plans and this was easily rectified. The email response was prompt and precise making me feel confident that our holiday will be equally efficiently organised. I have not holidayed before with headwater but recall friends speaking highly of the service. All in all we are both looking forward to our cycling holiday in September knowing that we can relax and let headwater are organising things for us.
