A zip wire for adults and children and a few hikes are available too! You can also take the Orlove Glave chair lift and go even higher up.

It’s much cooler up on Vogel than it’s on the shore of Lake Bohinj. Even during the summer months (June, July, August), it’s a good idea to bring a jacket. (photo: Nea Culpa d.o.o. / slovenia.info)

One thought on “Vogel View Point”

  1. Breathtaking. The views down the lake and up the mountains as the cable car ascends are spectacular. You can grab a spot of lunch in the restaurant or go off exploring the mountains.
