Tour Highlights
Join us in this fabulous location for a ‘packed to the rafters’ short break away of freshwater swimming and walking
Swim to the picturesque 17th Century pilgrimage church on Bled Island
Enjoy the challenge of swimming the 4km length of beautiful Lake Bohinj, Slovenia’s largest lake
Cross over into Italy to swim in the stunning Lago del Predil
Walk along stunning trails through Triglav National Park to dip in the cool waters of the Kazjak waterfall
Swim down the glacial-fed Soca river
Enjoy a freshwater swimming holiday in Slovenia and discover why the country is considered to be one of Europe's true hidden gems. Swim in the emerald green waters of Lake Bled and the crystal clear Soca River, take in the stunning scenery of Triglav National Park and even cross the border into Italy to swim Lago del Predil on this unforgettable short escape.
On this trip we’ll be based in the small town of Bohinj, the central hub for all our excursions by land and water. This includes a swim to the 17th Century church on Bled Island, crossing the beautiful Lake Bohinj, and exploring the National Park and Kazjak waterfall by foot.
To get the most out of this amazing experience, we will be combining swims with walks to see as much of the local area as possible, with occasional help from a canoe or rowboat. In order to experience the best swimming that Slovenia has to offer, we spend time travelling to and from different locations, which makes for quite a busy trip, with evening returns to the hotel on Days 2 and 3.
With such an action-packed four day adventure, we know it's important to recharge your batteries and the Hotel Jezero on the banks of the Bohinj Lake is the perfect place for it. The hotel offers comfortable accommodation, beautiful scenery, friendly staff and there's even a pool if you just can't get enough of swimming.
If you are new to open water swimming and would like to explore Slovenia as a swimming destination, please check out our Discover Open Water in Slovenia trip.

My first but definitely not my last SwimTrek - I rediscovered my love of swimming after a wee break from it, thanks to beautiful Slovenia and brilliant guides and fellow swimmers :)
Renee, Italy - 2019 -
The whole experience was amazing. There was a perfect combination of swimming, hiking and time to explore the local area. The trip was a fantastic way to experience Slovenia and was incredibly well organised.
Katherine H, UK - 2019 -
It’s all too easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of life and its perpetual demands, to then lose sight of what’s most beautiful while providing for our loved ones and our selves. SwimTrek restores that vision, reminding if not showing us what riches can abound in and around the water: Nature, adventure, wonder, health, camaraderie, and community. Thank you, SwimTrek, not for the trip of a lifetime – because I’ll soon take another with you – but for a trip that’s life affirming.
Beowulf S, USA - 2019 -
My first experience of Swimtrek was amazing! I loved every minute of it. From the briefing through to the end of the trip it was non stop fun - we packed so much into each day! Our guides Kelly and Sarah were incredible, making sure everyone was able to swim at their own pace and moving seemlessly from one activity to the next even when faced with some pretty unusual weather! I'll definitely be back.
Anna, UK - 2019 -
Don't hesitate, book, do the training and have the experience of a lifetime. Just incredible, loved every single second, and cannot wait to do another one. Thank you swimtrek - you were brilliant!
Rebecca L. IRL- 2018 -
There was a moment on this holiday when swimming flipped from being something that served a purpose to something I fell in love with. Swimming in the crystal clear Lake Bohinj with the sun on our backs is a memory I won’t forget. Absolutely amazing.
Graham S. UK- 2018 -
Swimming in the crystal clear waters of Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj was a truly life-affirming experience.
Michael S. UK- 2018 -
I signed up for this trip as I wanted to get fit, loose some weight and achieve something for myself after having my gorgeous baby 10 months ago. I swam 4 km down the length of beautiful lake Bohinj. I have made new friends, I feel fit and positive about myself, I have lost 1.5 stone through all my training and am very proud of myself! Thank you swimtrek!
Mary C. UK- 2018 -
The sense of achievement I got after swimming the 4km of the beautiful Lake Bohinj is still making me smile a week after coming home.
