Lake Bohinj

Lake Bohinj, 4265 Bohinjsko jezero, Slovenia

It’s a bit cold, yes - even in August. But the spectacular views and pristine water easily make up for the chilly swimming. We packed our beach towels, bought a few cold beers, and hiked around the lake for awhile until we found a more secluded swimming spot. We spent the day there and left just before sunset. On the way out, I got this shot.
