Bohinj has been a popular destination for hikers for centuries, so it's no surprise that it is home to one of Slovenia's largest hiking events - the so-called Days of Hiking. Taking place in September and October each year, the event aims to promote the area's rich hiking tradition and potential as a world class hiking destination, and is comprised of three parts: Recreation, which includes guided tours along various paths, trails and themed trips; Competition, with several sports events held in cooperation with Slovene hiking societies; and Social activities, including concerts, exhibitions, lectures and hiking-related workshops.
