Interesting Facts

Take the Vogel Cable Car to the top of the ski center and enjoy the beautiful view. Another great idea (which the kids will love by the way) is to rent a boat and take a ride on the Bohinj Lake.

We kids love it if a family trip ends with a jump into the swimming pool. Aquapark Bohinj is an ideal opportunity for the whole family to enjoy the fun. They even have a salt room, which is great for all people with respiratory problems.

There are many weather proverbs and sayings in folk tradition, such as the Bohinj one: “V Bohinju ima dež ta mlade.” The direct translation says that the rain in Bohinj has babies, but it means that this area gets a lot of rain.

According to experts, Bohinj actually has an average amount of rainy days. It is true, however, that the precipitation is higher than anywhere else. In 2002, the Storžič band presented the humorous song “V bohin ‘ma d’ž ta mvade” based on the proverb above. It is about a man who went on a date to the village of Ukanc. Just when he wanted to kiss his date from Bohinj called Minka, it started to pour. The soaked lovers took advantage of drying their laundry under the roof to cuddle. From then on, the boy praises the rain; because he is convinced he would not have won over his beloved one without it.
