Our village of Bohinjska Bela sits between Bled and Bohinj meaning that when you don’t feel like lounging in the Farmhouse’s orchard or admiring the views from the balcony, you are perfectly positioned to choose between cafés, romance and history or nature, sports and tranquility.

Coming back to Bela after a day out and about you’ll find everything you need during your stay. The local shop stocks all the essentials (including some very good local wine and beer), there are a couple of lovely village pubs and the restaurant down the road does genuinely great food.

Bled (6 minutes), famous for the its beautiful, island church surrounded by a crystal lake and overlooked by a thousand year old castle, has been Slovenia’s most popular holiday destination for generations. Cafés and shops surround the more popular areas of the lake but you wont need to walk far to find a quiet spot all of your own. Boats trips are available out to the island where you can climb the ninety-nine steps up to the church and ring the bell for to ensure a future of prosperity and good fortune. There is a golf course nearby with a spectacular mountain backdrop as well as very cheap scenic flights just down the road. If you want to stay on the ground but still get a different perspective, head up the hill to the castle, soak in the magnificent views and dine in the excellent castle restaurant.

Bohinj (20 minutes) is the name of the large lake that sits below Slovenia’s highest mountain (Mt Triglav) in the middle of Slovenia’s largest National Park. Planning in this area has been strictly controlled and the lake and surrounding mountains have escaped the over-development that you see in so many of Europe’s other, formerly beautiful Alpine destinations. As well as magnificent hill walking and mountain biking, there is “an almost ludicrous range of activities available” [Times Online]. Slovenia really does offer almost every outdoor activity imaginable.

The owners of Farmhouse Katricnek (Ralph & Jo) live on site, so are on-hand to help with advice and recommendations.
