SLOVENIA is a small country in the Middle Europe bordering to Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. Although small it is marked by four major European geographic regions, which meet here: the Alps, the Dinarides, the Pannonian plain, and the Mediterranean. Thus one can ski in the mountains in the morning, swim in the sea in the afternoon and relax with a glass of excellent wine at a bar on the bank of Ljubljanica.

BOHINJ is a part of the Triglav National Park, which lies in the Julian Alps and is the biggest national park in Slovenia. This beautiful green valley with a crystal-clear lake in the middle is popular with tourists, hikers, sportsmen and other nature lovers, who come to see this peaceful, charming place on Earth.
