Driving in Slovenia: H209 from Bled to Lake Bohinj

I made a recording mistake and this video was recorded in a smaller resolution than usual. It's a nice drive though and still wanted to share it with you -
In this video you can drive along on H209 from Bled to Bohinj in the Slovenian Alps. Bled is a touristic destination famous because of its lake, castle and Bled island. Bohinj however, is a very tranquil alternative to the hustle and bustle of lake Bled. The lake is like a mirror and the road / destination is in like a pocket and a dead-end in the mountains.
I believe there is also a small ski resort nearby. It was the second time for me visiting this area and it never disappoints. We could have been a bit more lucky with the weather though.
The road is of okay quality in most places. Interestingly there was a rock slide not too long before we passed through as you can see in the video and thumbnail. That is one massive rock you don't want landing on your car...
Hope you enjoy the drive along despite the quality issue.

Drove on this road in September 2021 and had exactly the same shitty weather :) Hope to return to Bohinj Lake for some hiking in the Triglav National Park someday. Does the parking at Lake Bohinj still costs 3 euros/h?

Yes I think so, although for us it was completely empty. I can't remember if we had to pay anything in the end. In general I found that Slovenia got quite a bit more expensive over the years.

@@nielsontheroad It's still quite cheap in non-touristical places, but the difference between a tourist place and a normal town is like 3-4x the costs, while in Deutschland or Austria it's just a difference of about 10-15%. For example a normal coffee to go at the Vintgar Canyon was 8 euros, found it really insane.

That video is too messed up.
