Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Your Alpine adventure begins at Lake Bled, one of Slovenia’s most photographed locations. With your guide, enjoy scenic viewpoints and time by the lakeshore before choosing one of two classic experiences, based on your preference:

Traditional boat experience on Lake Bled, offering a peaceful glide across the emerald lake,
OR
Bled Castle, dramatically perched above the lake, with panoramic views and fascinating insights into local history

Stop 2

Leaving Bled behind, the journey continues deeper into the Alps to Lake Bohinj, a pristine glacial lake set within Triglav National Park. This area offers a quieter, more natural contrast to Bled and is a highlight for families who enjoy open landscapes and fresh mountain air.

The main experience here is the Vogel cable car (funicular), taking you high above the valley for unforgettable views over the Julian Alps — a favorite for both children and adults.
If weather conditions are not suitable, the itinerary seamlessly adapts to include a visit to Savica Waterfall, one of Slovenia’s most famous natural landmarks.

Stop 3

Continuing through Slovenia’s only national park, enjoy a gentle walk through Pokljuka Gorge, a peaceful and scenic area ideal for families. Wooden walkways, river views, and shaded forest paths make this stop both refreshing and easy, with plenty of opportunities to connect with nature without strenuous hiking.

On the return journey to Ljubljana, the tour pauses in Radovljica Old Town, one of Slovenia’s most charming medieval towns. Enjoy a relaxed stroll and a coffee break in its beautifully preserved historic center — a calm and pleasant way to end a full day of exploration.
