From Zagreb: Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj, & Ribčev Laz Day Trip

Discover the beauty of Slovenia on a day trip from Zagreb. Visit Lake Bled, Lake Bohinj, and the village of Ribčev Laz. Enjoy a scenic drive through the Julian Alps and Triglav National Park.
Leave behind the buzz of Zagreb and set out on a scenic journey through the heart of the Julian Alps in Slovenia. Discover emerald lakes, alpine villages, and dramatic peaks on a full-day tour that takes you across the Slovenian border to Lake Bled, Ribčev Laz, and Lake Bohinj.

Begin your adventure in the early morning as you depart from Zagreb in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. As you leave Croatia’s capital behind, the landscape gradually changes — rolling hills give way to forested slopes and crisp alpine air. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories about Slovenia’s history, culture, and traditions.

After a 2 hour drive arrive at Lake Bled, one of the most photographed places in Central Europe. Take an optional pletna boat ride, a traditional wooden vessel rowed by local oarsmen whose skill has been passed down for generations.

For those who prefer panoramic views, visit Bled Castle, perched dramatically on a 130-meter cliff. The castle’s terraces offer sweeping views over the lake and surrounding mountains. Inside, explore exhibits that tell the story of Bled’s long and colorful past, from medieval times to modern tourism.

Continue deeper into Triglav National Park, where nature takes center stage. After a short and scenic drive through winding mountain roads, arrive in Ribčev Laz, a small village that feels untouched by time. Nestled on the eastern shore of Lake Bohinj, Ribčev Laz offers an authentic glimpse into traditional Slovenian life.

The centerpiece of the village is the Church of St. John the Baptist, a 13th-century stone church famous for its beautifully preserved frescoes and serene atmosphere.

Take your time to stroll through the village, chat with locals, or simply breathe in the fresh alpine air. This peaceful stop captures the charm and simplicity of mountain life; quiet, welcoming, and deeply connected to nature.

Just a few minutes away lies Lake Bohinj, Slovenia’s largest natural lake and a true hidden gem. Surrounded by towering peaks and lush forests, Bohinj is wilder, quieter, and more untouched than its famous neighbor, Bled.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you might choose to take a short hike to one of the lake’s panoramic viewpoints, the spectacular Savica Waterfall, hidden deep within the surrounding forest. This impressive cascade — plunging 78 meters down a rocky cliff — is the source of the Sava Bohinjka River and one of Slovenia’s most iconic natural wonders. The trail to the waterfall winds through lush alpine woods, filling the air with the scent of pine and the soothing sound of rushing water.

For those who enjoy authentic local flavors, there’s the option to stop at a nearby mountain hut for lunch — tasting homemade cheese, smoked trout, or warm barley soup, all made from local ingredients. It’s a chance to experience not just the scenery, but also the flavors of Slovenia’s alpine culture.

As the day slowly comes to an end, relax and enjoy the drive back toward Zagreb.
