Lake Bohinj ( _sl. Bohinjsko jezero) is the largest permanent lake in Slovenia. [Lake Cerknica, an intermittent lake, is larger than Lake Bohinj during its flood seasons, but disappears entirely during dry seasons.] Lake Bohinj is located in the Bohinj municipality in the north-west of the country, and is inside Triglav National Park.

Lake Bohinj is 4.2 km long and 1 km at its maximum width. It is a glacial lake dammed by a moraine.

The largest of the streams that flow into the lake, the Savica ("little Sava"), is fed from "Črno jezero" (Black Lake), the largest lake in the Triglav Lakes Valley.

The outflow is the Jezernica which merges with the Mostnica to form the Sava Bohinjka (which in turn merges with Sava Dolinka to become the Sava).

The area is associatedclarifyme with the legendary "Zlatorog", a white chamois with golden horns. A statue of the creature stands beside the lake.
