Lake Bohinj, Glacial lake in Triglav National Park, Slovenia.
Lake Bohinj covers 318 hectares with a length of 4.1 kilometers and a maximum width of 1.2 kilometers in the Julian Alps.
At the end of the last glaciation, the lake level was 18 meters higher than its current position and extended to the locality of Stara Fužina.
The Church of Saint John the Baptist near the lake displays medieval wall paintings from 700 years ago and demonstrates traditional Slovenian architecture.
Visitors can enjoy swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, and snorkeling during summer, while ice skating becomes possible during winter months.
The lake exhibits an unusual hydrological phenomenon where more water exits through underground sources than enters through surface tributaries.
