Bohinj, a larger and much less developed glacial lake 26km to the southwest of Bled, is a world apart. Triglav itself is visible from Bohinj and there are activities galore – from kayaking and mountain biking to trekking up Triglav via one of the southern approaches. Ribčev Laz is the main tourist hub at the lake; Bohinjska Bistrica (pop 1890), the area's largest centre, is 6km east of the lake and useful for its train station.

Rents sporting equipment, canoes/kayaks (per hour €7/3) and bikes (per hour/day €4/13.50) and organises guided rafting, canyoning and caving trips from a kiosk near the stone bridge.
BUS
Buses run regularly from Ljubljana (€8.30, two hours, hourly) to Bohinj Jezero and Ukanc – marked 'Bohinj Zlatorog' – via Bled and Bohinjska Bistrica. Around 20 buses daily go from Bled (€3.60, 45 minutes) to Bohinj Jezero (via Bohinjska Bistrica) and return, with the first bus leaving around 5am and the last about 9pm.
TRAIN
A half-dozen daily trains daily make the run to Bohinjska Bistrica from Ljubljana (€7.20, two hours), though this route requires a change in Jesenice. There are also frequent trains between Bled’s small Bled Jezero station (€1.85, 20 minutes, eight daily) and Bohinjska Bistrica.
