SLOVENIA with family, Slovenia with children

This family's experience:

Activities: We did a long walk around Lake Bohinj. We walked three-quarters of the way around the lake with the girls, about 7km, reaching the wooden pontoon where a wooden boat takes you from one end of the lake to the other. It's a beautiful walk and a stop that deserves some time!

Highlights: The superb views and the peaceful atmosphere were a real pleasure. The girls loved the boat ride across the lake. It was a very relaxing experience, almost no one was there, and the views were superb! ✨
