Lake Bohinj
The simplest full day from Bled.
A regular bus runs from Bled via Bohinjska Bistrica to Ribčev Laz at the lake. The Savica Falls cost €4 from age 16, and the first Sunday of the month is free. The Vogel cable car is closed for maintenance, expected until 1 December 2026. Prices, hours and swimming rules are on the Lake Bohinj page.
Soča Valley
A long day, easier with a guide.
A Soča Valley and Triglav National Park day trip with optional rafting is offered from Ljubljana: 10 hours, €115 per person, on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. The trip starts in Ljubljana, so ask about pickup points, and rafting depends on the season. Allow a long day and do not plan it too tightly. Mountain pass roads such as Vršič can close for weather or the season, so check the road before you go.
Postojna Cave and Predjama Castle
Two sights that work well together.
The cave tour combines a train ride with a walk, lasts about 90 minutes and covers more than 5 km of accessible route. You choose the date and time when you buy. The online prices for 2026 are in the table below.
