Rudnica House

Location and activities 

Rudnica House is located 6km from Lake Bohinj in Bohinjska Cesnjica, a charming and traditional Bohinj style alpine village located on the upper Bohinj Valley. The upper Bohinj Valley runs from Jereka to Stara Fuzina on the lake and is a wonderful place to be based in the Bohinj area - a little quieter than main route into Bohinj via the lower valley and packed with authentic Bohinj charm.

The house itself is located in a quiet residential area surrounded by other older farmhouses in the upper part of the village away from the main road running through the village with some views over surrounding forests and hills. Just 1km away are two of the Bohinj regions best loved restaurants in the village of Srednja Vas as well as a convenience store. Further amenties (restaurants / shops) are to be found in Stara Fuzina village 4km form the house towards the lake and in the other direction , plenty more in Bohinjska Bistrica (5km) which offers various shops, bars, restaurants, bank, post office, service station and an excellent water park with ample pool and spa facilities.

Lake Bohinj itself, 5.5km away from the house (10mins drive), is a serene lake surrounded by towering peaks and pristine forests considered by many to be the most beautiful part of Slovenia. In Summer the Lake offers the opportunity for kayaking, sailing and rowing, as well as fly-fishing, swimming or just relaxing on the lake shore. The mountains of Lake Bohinj are fantastic for walking and arguably the best place to start climbs up Slovenia's highest mountain, Triglav. They also offer scope for great mountain biking, canyoning, paragliding as well as skiing.

The ski resort Vogel above Lake Bohinj is one of Slovenia’s best with good lift infrastructure and snow record. It is 15 minutes drive from the house to the Vogel cable car, which is also open in the summer giving easy access to high altitude walking and mountain biking. There is a wide range of other ski areas in Slovenia / Italy / Austria within day trip distance from the property.

In the other direction from the lake the house offers easy access to the Pokljuka plateau, which offers stunning alpine pastures and forests, magnificent walking and biking routes and Slovenia’s best cross country skiing in Winter.

In the unlikely event that you run out of things to do in the Bohinj region then just 25 minutes drive away from the house is world famous Lake Bled!
