I've read somewhere that Lake Bled is for tourists and Lake Bohinj is for travelers. I'm not sure if I'm more a tourist or a traveler but I do know that I want to visit both lakes.

Situated on the edge of the Triglav National Park in the Julian Alps, Lake Bohinj is the largest lake in Slovenia. It is located in a glacial valley and it comprises almost 100 million cubic metres of water – according to an old Bohinj joke: no more than a bucket if it is large enough. The steeply descending lake basin is relatively smoothly shaped and has no shallow areas. In summer, the temperature of the water rises to 22 °C; in winter, the lake freezes sometimes. Water level rises 2 – 3 metres after heavy rainfall. - in: https://www.bohinj.si/en/attractions/lake-bohinj/
Many visitors to Slovenia say they’ve never seen a more beautiful lake than Bled…that is, until they’ve seen the blue-green waters of Lake Bohinj, 26km to the southwest. Admittedly, Bohinj lacks Bled’s glamour, but it’s less crowded and in many ways more authentic. It’s an ideal summer holiday destination. People come primarily to chill out or to swim in the crystal-clear water, with leisurely cycling and walking trails to occupy them as well as outdoor pursuits like kayaking, hiking and horse riding. - in: https://www.lonelyplanet.com

Church of St. John the Baptist, thought to have been built as early as pre 1300, is one of the most beautiful examples of the Middle Age architecture and fresco painting in Slovenia.
