Bohinj: Sports Centre Pokljuka - Rudno Polje

Bohinj straddles the Sava Bohinjka valley in Slovenia’s Julian Alps, and this alpine corridor has shaped a scattered community of lakeside hamlets, farms and mountain settlements. Lake Bohinj, Slovenia’s largest permanent natural lake, lies beneath slopes rising toward Mount Triglav, while Savica Waterfall stands at the valley’s western end. Much of the area belongs to Triglav National Park, Slovenia’s only national park. At Ribčev Laz, the Church of St John the Baptist is known for its medieval frescoes, and Bohinj cheese remains a local dairy tradition. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the Julian Alps connects regionally.

Slovenia occupies a meeting point of the Alps, the Pannonian Plain, the Dinaric mountains and the Adriatic coast in south-central Europe. The Julian Alps rise in the northwest, where Triglav is the country’s highest mountain, while the Soča River is known for its clear turquoise water. Karst terrain has shaped caves such as Postojna Cave and the Škocjan Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Ljubljana combines a riverside old town with works by architect Jože Plečnik; farther east, wine-growing regions and thermal springs add another dimension. Slovenian food reflects Alpine, Mediterranean and Balkan influences. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Slovenia and the northern Adriatic.
