Things to do in Bohinj
Guardian & Julian Alps
Saturday 14 June
This Saturday (14th June) the UK Newspaper ‘The Guardian’ had featured 100 holidays to Eesesurope’s Lakes and Mountains in the Travel Section. The Julian Alps in Slovenia was featured at number 12 for multi activity holidays. We think that the short quote below sums up Bohinj very well and perfectly illustrates the type of holiday which you will enjoy in Bohinj Chalet.
To quote:
"Multi
Activity- The Julian Alps in Slovenia may not be well
known as their western counterparts, but they are
just as dramatic, with rugged limestone peaks above
the treeline. Winding through the Julians is the
emerald river Soca - in places it is fast flowing, in
others it lazes past beaches - which is perfect for
whitewater rafting and kayaking."
