Hi, we are 5 friends, staying at Lake Bled for 2 days/2 night. First day we plan to visit lake Bled and relax around the area. Next day we plan an early morning trip to Lake Bohinj (like taking a bus at around 7 AM) and spend the entire day (till 6 PM bus back to Bled). My questions are related to the day we spend in and around Lake Bohinj: 1. What are some of the things we must do at and around Bohinj? 2. I am really fascinated by the idea of hiking/walking around Julian Alps early in the morning, I don't know how far is the Bohinj lake from any good treks, can you suggest a trail? Also when we reach by bus from Bled, how far do we get dropped from this trail? 3. We then plan to come to Lake Bohinj for a swim followed by lunch and drinks...are there places near the lake to eat and drink? Is it allowed to swim in the lake considering we are traveling in Oct? If swimming is not allowed then we might first visit the lake and then explore the trek/trail around villages/Julian Alps. 4. So my plan has explorating a trail or trekking option to or via village (Bohinjska Bistrica may be), a walk around, and a swim in Lake Bohinj followed by a relaxing lunch as close to the lake as possible. Is it doable or am I dreaming?

Hi - we went to beautiful Lake Bohinj earlier this month while we were on a coach tour of Croatia & Slovenia so everything was done for us. we are planning a trip with our kids in June 2019 and we will be driving from Ljubljana. Can anyone advise on the parking situation? We would likely stay a full day - I read a review of someone’s horrible experience with a parking ticket which we would obviously want to avoid. Also, if we want to go on the electric boat, should we get tickets in advance? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
