Lakes Bohinj and Bled

From the Soča Valley we caught a train through a 100 year old tunnel through the alps. There is no direct road following the same route so the train was a good option. This delivered us to a region of farming and outdoor tourism. In winter, the area becomes a downhill and cross-country skiing destination. In summer there's canyoning, rafting, fly fishing, mountain biking, and climbing. We camped right next to Lake Bohinj:

We explored the area for a couple of days and found out about the old alpine dairy farming and cheesemaking techniques from a little museum. As usual, Roger found a freezing canyon to swim in. This canyon is formed from snow melt coming down from the alps.

Our next destination was Lake Bled, designed for photography. Someone years ago decided to build a church on the island in the middle of the lake. Our photos aren't as good as the postcards but you get the idea:

If that's not enough, there's also another church and a castle on the shore:
