Restaurant Pri lovcu

Visiting experience -Visit 2024

Pri Lovcu is one of three Bohinj top restaurants that are not just for visitors that are already in the Bohinj area but also for those that have already had enough of crowds. Pri Lovcu is reason enough alone to endure the traffic jams in Bled, or why not experience a journey through the Bohinj tunnel on the country’s only car train. Whichever you choose, you know the end goal!

Forest

Since the restaurant of the Kristal Hotel in Ribčev Laz is called Pri lovcu (at the hunter’s), it is important that there is a forest right next to it and you are served romantically (almost) on the moss in the restaurant’s garden.
