Family Holiday at Lake Bohinj in Slovenia
Lake Bohinj is a great location for a family holiday in Slovenia. Just Imagine….
Relaxing
If you’re looking to relax, you will find plenty of scope to do nothing, unwind, and breathe in the fresh alpine air here in Bohinj. It is hard not to feel inspired by the beautiful scenery of the Julian Alps, whatever the season. In fact, when Agatha Christie visited and was asked if she could use Bohinj as a location for one of her crime novels, she famously remarked that Bohinj “was far too beautiful for a murder.”
Thank goodness for that!
Let the magic of Bohinj re-charge and re-energise you. Enjoy the slower pace of life that being on holiday allows. Take a gentle stroll through the meadows to the lake to sunbathe, swim or paddle. Chill, read a book, watch the paragliders soar overhead. Lounge by the shore or relax on the grass. Soak up the peace and tranquillity, and disconnect yourself from the daily routines at home.
At the end of the day, you can head back to Escape to Bohinj Holiday House to spend time with family and friends in the comfort of a traditional Slovene farmhouse. Take a glass of wine and sit outside to watch village life go by as the sun sets over the mountains.
