Slovenian Short Swims & Dips Itinerary

FRIDAY

Arrival

When you land, we will pick you up from Ljubljana airport and take you to the hotel (55 min transfer). Most flights on Friday will arrive between 4-6pm, leaving time to enjoy a beautiful acclimatisation swim in Lake Bohinj, plus time to settle in and meet your guides. If your flight arrives later – please just let us know and we will ensure someone can collect you and deliver you to the hotel in time to meet the group for the evening briefing and meal.

SATURDAY

Lake Bled

Today we will travel to Lake Bled, and complete our first swim, before returning shore for a well-earned traditional local pastry – the Blejska kremšnita – aka Bled cream cake! In the afternoon, we will travel to the Sava River, and take a walk along the banks before enjoying a gentle dip. Back at the hotel, we will have time for a quick shower and change before a delicious dinner in the hotel restaurant.

SUNDAY

Lake Bohinj

This morning we will get up early for breakfast before walking down to Bohinj for another fantastic lake swim. After a well-deserved lunch, your guides will take you up to the source of Bohinj – a stunning waterfall – with a chance for another dip if you are feeling brave (the water near the waterfall is decidedly chillier than in the lake!).

MONDAY

Piran sights

This morning we will put our suitcases in the van before driving to the coastal town of Piran for our last day of adventure before flights depart. We start our swim at Strunjan, known for its therapeutical salterns. We then swim towards the Venetian Mediterranean town of Piran, where we enjoy lunch in one of many pristine local fish restaurants, before heading back to the airport.

We advise booking a later evening flight (7pm +) to make the most of your last day. SwimQuest can advise on additional nights’ accommodation should you wish to extend your stay.
