Bohinjska Bistrica is the biggest population near Bohinj lake, and, without being the most interesting, it may be the one offering the largest resources.

The parish church, dedicated to St Nicholas, was built in the 17th century and renovated in the 19th, acquiring its actual Neo Renaissance and Neo Romantic look.

​It has some nice paintings and the tomb of 40 workers killed during the construction of the railway tunnel.

​However, the star was not religious architecture.

It may be a little morbid the visit to a cemetery without any remarkable piece of art or the burial of someone famous.

​Maybe it is, but approaching the church, it is impossible to notice how intricate with it is the cemetery, and how fresh it looks, revealing that it is something that people visit often and carefully maintain
