Think of Slovenia and images of pristine lakes, alpine villages and the iconic Lake Bled come to mind. A swimming holiday seems a perfect way to enjoy its natural beauty. This central European country is full of exciting swimming opportunities – here’s why you should consider exploring Slovenia from the water.
ALPINE BACKDROPS
There’s something incredibly humbling when your outdoor swimming takes you alongside impressive and imposing peaks. Vast and expansive, yet still able to offer a cosy and intimate feel to river and lake swimming, mountains bring a special feel to an open-air swim. Slovenia’s northwest is a largely mountainous area of incredible landscapes with views of the Alps. The Julian Alps surround Lake Bohinj and stretch to Lake Bled, where the hills of Straža and Ojstrica offer up great elevated views over the lake.
