Bohinj represents a compelling base camp and starting point for hiking and mountaineering. Many sights are accessible to those of all abilities, including families - the lake itself is a natural paradise of serenity and stillness, then there's Savica waterfall, Mostnica canyon and an entire realm of forests and pastures. A panoramic view of the whole Bohinj valley can be had from Rudnica hill and there are plenty of higher peaks in the surrounding mountain range to keep altitude junkies fulfilled.
