Walking around the lake you will encounter local farms and traditional cheese makers. The cable car to top of Mount Vogel affords spectacular views over the lake and delightful River Sava Bohinjka Valley.
Lake Bled
The fairy tale town of Bled gives way to spectacular walks among the Julian Alps and besides the eponymous lake.
