Description of the walk

Park in the small car park.

(S/E) Follow the path that runs alongside the dry stream bed. After 15 minutes, you’ll reach the canyon walls. You’ll come to a crossroads.

(1) At the junction, climb up to the right and head for Pokljuška Luknja: three holes in a cave that let light through. Then retrace your steps.
Follow the sign for Galerije. The path is flanked by tall vertical walls. Shortly afterwards, you’ll reach the foot of a wooden footbridge.

(2) Once at the top, there is a lovely “natural garden”. Enjoy the spot.
Retrace your steps and follow the same route back as you did on the way there to return to the car park (S/E).

Attention! Il est interdit de se garer sur le petit parking en bas des gorges.
Ce n'est pas la promenade du siècle, mais ces gorges sont impression antes.
Si vous ne voulez pas tout redescendre, sortez à gauche au niveau du début de la galerie.

Absolutely brilliant for anyone who loves exploring wild, unspoilt places. I loved the atmosphere of this place and the fact that there was hardly anyone there.

If you want to see the two most beautiful viewpoints of Lake Bled, I recommend this hike.There are several climbs to tackle, but the rewards at the top are well worth it; you’ll be able to admire a magnificent view of the lake.For hiking enthusiasts, this is a great route with well-maintained, shaded and signposted paths.Despite the challenges—which vary from person to person—you can always take a dip in the lake on the way back down. After all that effort, it’s time for some well-deserved relaxation!

Walking Walk around Koprivnik to the Razglednik viewpoint

Visorando Member
↔3.40 mi ↗+322 ft ↘-318 ft ◔1h 50 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from Slovenia
A short circular walk starting from the hamlet of Koprivnik. This walk takes you past a model windmill (of little real interest) in the first section (which loops back to the starting point, so you can skip it if you wish). In the second part, the route heads into the forest along the Juliana Trail to reach a viewpoint overlooking the Bohinj Valley and its lake. The return journey involves a section along the road (watch out for cars) and a short circular route through the hamlet.

Beautiful hikes The ascent via the Zimska pot route is difficult as there is a 4-metre section on a vertical wall where you have to hold on to a cable and place your feet on metal pitons above the void... you may prefer to ascend via Pl. Pos Golico Kocana Golici.

Walking Slovenia1: Bohinj - Triglav Lakes Hut

↔8.42 mi ↗+4,272 ft ↘-640 ft ◔7h 35 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Slovenia
The first day of hiking takes you as high as possible to reach the mountains. The hike takes you through mountain pastures and the Orne Valley. You will see shepherds' houses that have been producing cheese for centuries, some of which still continue the tradition. The hike, which goes to the Triglav Lakes Hut, passes by Double Lake.

Walking Tour of the lakes above Lake Bohinj

↔12.37 mi ↗+3,701 ft ↘-3,701 ft ◔8h 55 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Slovenia
A long and very beautiful route with some striking views, which allows you to stay as cool as possible by not exceeding 1,700 m. Very pleasant in summer as there are lots of forests, few sections with a gradient of more than 15% on the way up, and it is fully marked, so there are no surprise trails. There are a few steep descents.

Lake Bohinj (Bohinjsko jezero) is Slovenia’s largest glacial lake. It is situated within Triglav National Park. Less crowded than Lake Bled, it is well worth a visit.Nearby, the Savica Waterfall is the perfect addition to this walk.

An easy little walk up to the first Martuljek Waterfall. After an initial section along a forest path, you follow the Martuljska Bistrica upstream through a narrow gorge before crossing it via a footbridge to climb up to the first Martuljek Waterfall (a 50-metre drop, no less).

A magnificent, easily accessible viewpoint over the Limarica and Suha Pišnica valleys, as well as the source of the Soča river in good weather. It’s also the perfect spot for a midday meal or a snack.
