| The Bled to
Lake Bohinj valley has a reputation as being one of
the best outdoor recreation areas in Slovenia, including some
excellent rock climbing and sports climbing. The valley is dominated
by Mount Triglav (2,863m high), which offers many excellent
mountaineering routes to its summit. Down in the valley there
are 7 main sports climbing crags offering over 350 routes across
a good range of grades. The routes are generally single pitch
on good quality limestone and reasonably bolted.
Bled is an ideal place to be based to visit many of the other
crags in western Slovenia. Due to the country's excellent
road structure (and relatively small size) these crags are
generally easily reached within an hour, offering a wide scope
of routes to choose from, including some multi-pitch routes
up to 440m high.
The ideal time to visit Bled and this area for rock climbing
is from spring through to the autumn, though it does get hot
and very busy in the summer. This area is also ideal to include
a few days rock climbing as part of your general holiday.
