Photographer’s Note

Lake Bohinj (Slovene: Bohinjsko jezero) is the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. Lake Bohinj is located in the Bohinj municipality in the north-west of the country, and is inside Triglav National Park.

Lake Bohinj is 4.2 km long and 1 km at its maximum width. It is a glacial lake dammed by a moraine.

The largest of the streams that flow into the lake, the Savica ("little Sava"), is fed from Črno jezero (Black Lake), the largest lake in the Triglav Lakes Valley.

The outflow is the Jezernica which merges with the Mostnica to form the Sava Bohinjka (which in turn merges with Sava Dolinka to become the Sava).

The area is associated with the legendary "Zlatorog", a white chamois with golden horns. A statue of the creature stands beside the lake.
