Before you go

Add Vintgar in seasonVintgar Gorge is open April to October only, with limited online tickets, and takes about 3 hours including the return trail.
Take the busBuses reach Bled from Ljubljana through Kranj and Radovljica, and run on to Bohinj. Check timetables on the day.
Plan for the seasonBohinj's panoramic boat and the church open on a seasonal timetable; in winter the lake is for walking.
Allow time at SavicaThe entry point closes in heavy rain, snow or black ice, and the walk up has many steps, so wear good shoes.
Book the castle dinnerThe castle restaurant is open every day from noon to 10 PM; reserve a table in summer and at weekends.

Where to stay for this plan

Stay near the lake and the central bus station: both days start on foot, and the Bohinj bus leaves from here.
