The Municipality of Bohinj has implemented a well-organized plan to safeguard its water system within the National Park, while also striving to facilitate a safe and structured means for individuals to actively partake in the enjoyment of this natural resource with minimal environmental impact.

A system of entry/exit points has been set up along the lake and the Sava Bohinjka, with all the necessary infrastructure, such as changing facilities, benches, air pushers for stand-up paddleboards (SUP) and so on. Your contribution to the use of the entry/exit point is a contribution to an orderly and safe activity. Above all, it is a contribution to preserving the nature that our ancestors left us, and that we have a duty to keep intact for posterity.

You can read the Decree here.

All activities in, on and around the lake, the Sava Bohinjka and its tributaries are carried out at your own risk. We recommend that you choose to be accompanied by experienced and qualified local guides.
