Barbana Lipizzans Camper Park

Perhaps the most pressing question when you arrive at Barbana Lipizzans Camper Park is where to go first. Do you head towards the famed resort town of Bled (15 minutes’ drive) in the foothills of the Julian Alps, set along the glittering shores of Lake Bled? You should surely set aside an afternoon to visit 11th-century Bled Castle, the oldest castle in Slovenia, or to take the boat to the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the lake. Do you pull on a pair of hiking boots in preparation to spend a full day hiking in Triglav National Park (25 minutes)? The national park is home to the highest mountain in the Julian Alps, Mount Triglav, and also has a gorgeous glacial lake named Lake Bohinj (45 minutes). The national park isn’t the only place to go hiking in the area around Barbana Lipizzans Camper Park. Several mountain hikes begin in Tržič (15 minutes). Try out the half-day hikes to 1,634-metre-high Dobrča from Bistrica pri Tržiču (10 minutes) or 1,967-metre-high Kofce gora from Grad Neuhaus (15 minutes). For non-hiking activities like admiring old fossils, the Dovžan gorge (25 minutes) is just outside of Tržič.
