Finnish or Dry Sauna
The Finnish traditional sauna is the most common type of sauna, known for more than a thousand years.
It works by heating the air in a closed, insulated, usually wooden room. The temperature can reach up to 100°C, with a relative humidity of 15% to 30%.
By pouring a mixture of water and aroma over heated stones, a wave of steam is created, further heating the room and accelerating perspiration. Both lead to intense sweating and consequently detoxification of the body. Positive effects of the Finnish sauna include:
Due to profuse sweating (which is not problematic in a dry climate), you may lose a lot of fluid and minerals. These can be replaced by drinking water, tea, or other refreshing beverages after the sauna. To achieve the proper effect, cooling down after using the Finnish sauna is mandatory.
Infrared Sauna
The infrared (IR) sauna has recently become more widespread and popular due to its safety, ease of use, comfort, and effectiveness.
It deeply heats the body and relieves tension. IR heaters emit infrared energy, equivalent to the sun’s infrared radiation and that of the human body. IR rays penetrate the body, promoting blood circulation, raising body temperature, and causing sweating.
Infrared radiation heats directly in a process called conversion, without heating the intervening air. People perceive infrared light as heat. Regular use of the IR sauna can lead to:
The air heated to a lower temperature is more comfortable to breathe, and the humidity in an IR sauna can reach up to 45%. You can even use the IR sauna with the door or window open, or while dressed to warm up before exercising.
The health benefits of water treatments have been recognized since ancient times, and combining them with massage provides an even greater effect. Today, everyone knows about the benefits of hydromassage.
The Jacuzzi brothers were the first to produce hydromassage bathtubs and brought them into industrial prominence. For a long time, such bathtubs had no parallel, making “Jacuzzi” a generic name.
A hydromassage in a jacuzzi gives you rest, relaxation, and boosts your mood. Thanks to the stimulation of blood circulation during the bath, the condition of your skin and muscles improves significantly. Hydromassage is recommended not only for those with various ailments but also for healthy individuals. It increases energy levels, raises work efficiency, and improves overall quality of life. Often any bathtub with a hydromassage function is called a jacuzzi.
Bohinj is a geographical name for the area that includes the Upper and Lower Bohinj Valley, the Nomenj Valley, and the lake basin (Lake Bohinj) on the southeastern side of the Julian Alps. Several higher-lying settlements are also considered part of Bohinj, such as Koprivnik, Gorjuše, and Nemški Rovt, along with the surrounding mountains and pastures of these areas.
This is how Julius Kugy described Bohinj in his work on the Julian Alps: “A long, open valley through which the Savica, born in the rocks, flows with bright green fairy-like waters, picturesque meadows with an idyllic charm, small friendly villages greeting you from silent peace, around it mountains with breathtaking shapes, wrapped in dark spruce forests, in the heights, among the clouds, the festive throne of Triglav.”
The name Bohinj may be of local origin. Its etymology is not precisely explained, but there are several folk (often humorous) interpretations.
Ribčev Laz is a settlement belonging to the Municipality of Bohinj, located on the eastern side of Bohinj and representing the central hub and most recognizable part of Bohinj. Historically, residents were primarily engaged in agriculture, though tourism has become the main source of income. During World War I, this area was a transitional zone between the front and its hinterland.
Among the main attractions are the Church of St. John the Baptist, now a cultural monument, a monument to the Four Brave Men (erected in 1978), and the Zlatorog (Goldenhorn) statue. Of particular interest is a rock face near the guesthouse “Pod skalco,” penetrated by fossilized marine shells, indicating a shallow prehistoric sea bed. Ribčev Laz has a tourist information center, shops, a post office, Hotel Bohinj, Hotel Jezero, the Na skalci holiday home, apartments, rooms, restaurants, and cafés. Many sports activities are available, including climbing at natural cliffs Pod skalco and Bellevue, renting boats, kayaks, or canoes, swimming, cycling, hiking, and more. There is also a tour boat service on Lake Bohinj (boats “Bohinj” and “Zlatorog”) and summer events. Ribčev Laz is truly special!
Lake Bohinj is the largest natural lake in Slovenia offering a variety of activities. It is situated in a glacier-carved basin and holds almost 100 million cubic meters of water—an old local joke says it's just “one bucketful,” given a big enough bucket.
The basin, which slopes steeply, lacks shallows and is scarcely partitioned. This outflow lake warms up to about 22°C (72°F) on the surface in summer and frequently freezes in winter. The water level can rise by 2–3 m after heavy rain. The water is renewed three times a year; the Savica is the main inflow, and the Sava Bohinjka is the main outflow. Over a third of the water comes from karst springs below the lake’s surface near the northern shore. Under heavy rainfall, karst waters also surface at the Govic spring on Mt. Pršivec.
Lake Bohinj is suitable for water activities throughout the year. In warmer months you can swim, boat, windsurf, kayak, canoe, fish, or dive. A scenic boat ride is available, or enjoy a relaxing walk along the shore. Occasionally in winter (though increasingly rare), the lake freezes, allowing for ice skating (but please exercise caution and note it is at your own risk!).
