The wintertime 2015/2016 was with the lack of snow in Alps and the weather was more like a permanent fall – sunny mostly, and fall colors of the forest like being in November. As there was not much opportunity for skiing we had as a family a great time with the travel to Alps natural features. On January 17th we visited the area of Bohinj. Bohinj Lake is the largest permanent and nature made lake in Slovenia. It is 4350 m long (longest diagonal), wide 1250 (N-S) m and the deepest part of the lake is 45 m. Length of the lake's coastline is 10.900 m. The lake was made by a glacier. The main feeder of the lake is Savica. Along the northern part of the lake are several underwater springs - the most know is the karst spring Govic.Location
