Larger and wilder than Bled — mountains on every side.

For the experienced only: two days with a mountain-hut night and cables on the final section; for the ordinary visitor Vogel and the valleys suffice.

Slovenia's only national park and the heart of the Julian Alps: Triglav carries the name of the country's highest peak (2,864 m) drawn on its flag, and covers 840 square kilometres of summits, valleys, glacial lakes and waterfalls west of Bled — the easiest gateway being Lake Bohinj 25 km away: a lake larger, wilder and quieter than Bled, ringed by mountains on every side with no hotel on its shore. From Bohinj the Vogel cable car climbs to 1,535 metres for views over the lake, the peaks and Triglav's summit itself, the Savica waterfall lies at the valley's end, and trails suit every level: the Valley of the Seven Lakes, the Vrata valley, the First World War front-line paths on the Soča. Summer is the walking season, winter the skiing at Vogel. A full day from Bled by bus or car covers Bohinj, Vogel and Savica; a week does not cover the park.
